The role and what you’ll be getting up to on a day to day basis:
Littlefish are looking for an experienced CSOC Manager to lead and evolve our Cyber Security Operations Centre, supporting a growing mid‑market and enterprise client base.
This role sits at the intersection of security operations leadership, service delivery, and technical credibility. You’ll be responsible for the day‑to‑day effectiveness of the CSOC, the development of a 24/7 analyst function, and the continuous improvement of our detection and response services.
You’ll mentor and lead a team of SOC analysts, strengthen operational processes, and ensure our services consistently meet — and where possible exceed — contractual and client expectations. You’ll also act as a senior escalation point, providing calm, informed leadership during incidents and out‑of‑hours situations.
What you will be doing:
- Owning CSOC service performance, ensuring KPIs, SLAs and security standards are consistently met.
- Leading, developing and mentoring a client specific SOC team, including oversight of shift leaders and analyst capability.
- Reviewing and improving SOC processes, procedures and operational frameworks.
- Managing analyst resourcing across BAU, escalations, and project work.
- Providing senior cyber security guidance to internal stakeholders and to current and prospective clients.
- Acting as the final escalation point for on‑call incidents (rota‑based, paid on‑call).
- Supporting service improvement initiatives across SIEM, EDR, email security and associated detection and response tooling.
- Developing and maintaining customer relationships to promote a partnership between Littlefish and the end client.
