About Us
We're launching a new Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) designed to deliver exceptional service to customers across the UK. Our mission is to provide smarter, more effective cybersecurity solutions by creating a collaborative and agile team that thinks outside the box.

* Onboarding and managing log sources with support from the engineering team.
* Engaging with customers to understand their needs and deliver excellent service.
* Collaborating with service leads to create an innovative, supportive, and inclusive culture.
* Staying ahead of the curve by continuously improving processes and adopting new technologies.
* No shifts, but some on call as the service grows.
About You
To succeed in this role, you'll bring:
* Experience: A minimum of 3 years in a busy MSSP environment, with a proven ability to deliver high-quality SOC services to 3rd party customers.
* Technical Knowledge: Hands-on experience with Azure Sentinel and associated Microsoft security tools (such as Defender for Endpoint, KQL, MS Stack ideally, although other SIEMS can be considered for the right person).
* SOAR: Ideally some interest and ability in creation of reusable responses and labour-saving options.
* Customer Focus: Comfortable engaging with customers to discuss security needs, challenges, and solutions.
* Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to onboard and configure new log sources, either independently or with assistance.
* Growth Mindset: Passion for learning, trying new approaches, and finding better ways to deliver cybersecurity services.
* Team Player: Entrepreneurial spirit with a collaborative approach to decision-making and service improvement.
* Flexibility: Willing to work remotely but open to occasional in-person collaboration near Basingstoke.
What We Offer
* An opportunity to take ownership of a new and innovative service.
* A supportive, agile, and forward-thinking work environment.
* The chance to shape the direction of our SOC and work closely with other service leads.
* Flexibility to work remotely, with optional office visits for collaboration, team-building, and social engagement.
