SOC Manager (Security Operations Consultant)
About The Role
What if your hard-won experience in security operations could directly strengthen how organizations detect, respond to, and contain real threats? We're looking for a seasoned SOC Manager to evaluate and improve the operational backbone of security teams — assessing detection workflows, triage quality, escalation logic, and incident response playbooks with a critical, expert eye.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced cybersecurity professionals who know what good SOC operations look like — and exactly what to do when they don't.
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Schedule: Flexible — work on your own terms
What You'll Do
- Review detection alerts, triage workflows, and escalation pathways for effectiveness and consistency
- Evaluate the completeness, accuracy, and quality of incident response actions across the operational lifecycle
- Identify critical gaps in logging coverage, detection logic, and containment procedures
- Summarize incident patterns, operational bottlenecks, and systemic weaknesses in clear, structured reports
- Validate playbooks for real-world feasibility, clarity, and correctness
- Support recurring assessments of SOC maturity, responsiveness, and overall operational rigor
