Our Security Operations Center (SOC) is seeking a SOC Team Lead to own day-to-day SOC execution, strengthen how the team operates, and advance the maturity of our detection and response capabilities. This role manages a team of analysts directly and is responsible for ensuring the SOC runs with clarity, consistency, and measurable results across security monitoring, detection engineering, threat hunting, incident response governance, and cross-functional coordination.
This role is available on 3rd shift (Monday - Friday, 12:00 AM-9:00 AM CST) and owns coverage, escalation readiness, and investigation quality for its shift. It's ideal for a leader who can balance hands-on security operations with people management, process ownership, and analyst development; improving how the SOC runs day-to-day while keeping incidents handled, documented, and escalated in line with established procedures.
Key Responsibilities
Team Leadership & People Management

• Lead a team of SOC analysts as their direct manager, including coaching, performance management, and career development.
• Own shift coverage, scheduling, and escalation readiness so the SOC maintains consistent quality across the shift's hours.
• Develop analysts through mentorship and reinforcement of structured, evidence-based investigation practices.

SOC Operations Leadership (Execution, Quality & Continuous Improvement)

• Own day-to-day SOC execution: queue health, triage consistency, escalation discipline, and documentation quality.
• Set and reinforce expectations for how alerts, investigations, and incidents are handled across the team.
• Identify and resolve workflow inefficiencies that slow response or create friction for analysts.
• Turn recurring pain points into measurable process, automation, or documentation improvements.

Detection Engineering Direction & Threat-Informed Defense

• Set detection engineering priorities based on threat intelligence, control gaps, incident learnings, and monitoring weaknesses.
• Oversee tuning across SIEM, SOAR, EDR, NDR, and log analytics platforms to improve fidelity and reduce noise.
• Ensure new detections, use cases, behavioral analytics, and ATT&CK-aligned content are actionable and fit SOC workflows.
• Partner with platform owners and engineering teams to improve telemetry quality and close detection gaps.
• Feed hunt findings, incident patterns, and control observations back into the detection pipeline.

Incident Response Governance

• Ensure incidents are identified, tracked, escalated, and reported per established incident management procedures.
• Reinforce severity-based response expectations, communications requirements, and required response artifacts across the incident lifecycle.
• Ensure investigation timelines, decisions, evidence, and outcomes are documented clearly and defensibly.
• Coordinate with leadership and partner teams during higher-severity incidents and retrospectives.
• Operationalize audit log review, logging-failure escalation, and incident reporting obligations.

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Coordinate with GRC, IAM, Infrastructure, Cloud, AppSec, Vulnerability Management, and other partner teams during investigations, follow-up, and control improvement.
• Clarify ownership boundaries and keep handoffs timely and documented.
• Translate SOC findings into remediation guidance and actionable follow-up for partner teams.
• Support policy, audit, and leadership discussions with accurate operational context.
