Security Operations Leadership

  • Establish playbooks and workflows for common alert types and high-priority attack patterns.

  • Manage the relationship with Eightcap's Managed SOC provider, ensuring efficient escalation processes and clear accountability for 24/7 monitoring coverage.

  • Lead investigations into unauthorised access, data exfiltration, or policy violations.

  • Forensically analyse audit logs and system-level telemetry.

  • Document clear findings, timelines, and recommendations as part of post-incident reviews.

Platform Security Uplift

  • Identify configuration gaps or blind spots that hinder detection and work with system owners to address them.

  • Ensure visibility over critical security events, including authentication, privileged activity, file sharing, and data access.

Team Capability Uplift

  • Manage and refine integrations with the SIEM platform and associated tooling.

  • Build lightweight automation (where appropriate) to accelerate repetitive investigation or triage tasks.

  • Maintain strong internal documentation and ensure knowledge transfer to junior staff.

Culture & Teamwork

  • Approach security work with initiative, adaptability, and a shared sense of ownership for Eightcap's broader objectives.

  • Be comfortable stepping outside your immediate remit where appropriate to support the delivery of key security outcomes.

  • Engage constructively with technical and non-technical teams, focusing on practical, embedded contributions that move the organisation forward.

  • Contribute to a culture of clarity, accountability, and steady execution.

About You

  • Tertiary qualifications in cyber security, information technology, or a related discipline. (desired)

  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Sentinel, Defender for Endpoint, and the broader Microsoft security stack.

  • Strong capability in triaging, investigating, and responding to security incidents across diverse systems and cloud environments (AWS/Azure/GCP).

  • Demonstrated hands-on expertise with SIEM platforms and endpoint detection and response (EDR) tooling.

  • Ability to define and continuously improve alerting rules, detection logic, and escalation workflows.

  • Strong grasp of modern attack techniques, TTPs (e.g. MITRE ATT&CK), and threat actor behaviours.

  • Strong grasp of security fundamentals such as authentication, encryption, access control, and logging across modern enterprise environments.

  • Experience collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders, including IT, engineering, and compliance, in high-pressure environments.

  • Clear, concise communication skills, both written and verbal, including incident reporting and stakeholder updates.

  • Experience working in high-velocity or regulated environments, including fintech, trading platforms, or financial services. (desired)

  • Familiarity with Microsoft Sentinel, CrowdStrike, AWS GuardDuty, Security Hub, and other modern security tooling. (desired)

  • Understanding of ISO 27001 controls and how they apply to operational security. (desired)

  • Scripting or automation experience (e.g. Python, PowerShell) to reduce repetitive workload and improve SOC efficiency. (desired)

  • Relevant certifications such as GCIA, GCIH, GCED, or equivalent. (desired)
