Security Governance, Assurance and Risk Ownership Provide authoritative leadership across cyber risk, operational assurance, investigative processes, and security governance frameworks. Ensure the SOC supports stringent data protection, identity management, and access control requirements, including PIM/PAM. Develop coherent processes for resilience, escalation, containment, and recovery across critical services. 4.

Hold delivery partners to account for performance, quality, and alignment with the SOC strategy. Oversee the technical and commercial evolution of services delivered under multi-year Statements of Work. 5.

Shape security behaviours, embed best practice, and develop a culture of proactive defence across the organisation. Support wider transformation initiatives by advising on security patterns, architectural direction, and investment priorities. Required Background and Expertise Leadership experience as Head of SOC, SOC Director, or senior cyber operations leader within central government or a high-assurance regulated environment. Proven track record of building SOC capabilities from scratch, including technology architecture, operating models, and service frameworks. Deep knowledge of SOC functions, cloud-native defence approaches, security engineering practices, and modern detection and response architectures.
