Director, MSSP

This is a pretty specific hire.

Were looking for someone who really understands SOC and Managed Security Services but whose career has moved towards solution architecture and pre-sales.

You might have started in a SOC moved through engineering or security operations leadership and now spend most of your time designing managed security solutions.

Or you might already be an MSS / SOC Solution Architect.

Either way you need to understand both sides.

You know how security operations actually work.

And you know how to design and sell them as a managed service.

The role itself is almost entirely front-end.

Youll get involved when a client starts talking about changing outsourcing or transforming their security operations and help work out what the solution should actually look like.

That could involve SOC SIEM EDR/XDR SOAR threat detection and response vulnerability management threat intelligence and automation.

But the technology is only part of it.

We need someone who can think about the service itself.

How should it operate

What sits with the client and what sits with us

What level of coverage do they need

How do we size it

What can we automate

What should it cost

And how do we turn all of that into something a client understands and wants to buy

Youll work across RFPs tenders proposals SOWs solution design and pricing as well as spending plenty of time in front of clients talking through the solution.

Theres also an opportunity to influence how these services evolve.

Security operations is changing quickly particularly around AI and automation and we want someone who can work out what those changes actually mean for the services clients will be buying over the next few years.

This isnt a SOC Manager role.

It isnt a delivery role.

And it isnt a traditional Security Architect role where you design something and then spend the next two years implementing it.

Were looking for the person who gets involved before the deal is won.

Someone technical enough to earn the trust of the SOC team commercial enough to understand whether a solution stacks up and comfortable enough with clients to lead the conversation.

If youre currently working in Managed Security Services SOC solution architecture or cyber pre-sales or youve run security operations and moved towards the front end of the deal - Id be interested in speaking with you.
