This role sits within our APAC SecOps Modernisation team, delivering the hands-on technical work behind our customers' Agentic SOC and AI-driven security transformation.

As the primary delivery professional between Senior Analyst and Senior Manager level, you'll own customer engagements end-to-end - running SOC maturity assessments, leading detection engineering, managing log optimisation programmes, and driving SIEM/SOAR migrations to completion.

We're looking for someone with a proven SOC engineering background, consulting maturity, and the ability to translate technical delivery into clear business outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end SOC maturity assessments - discovery workshops, benchmarking against MITRE ATT&CK/NIST CSF/CIS Controls, and prioritised remediation roadmaps for technical and executive audiences
• Own detection engineering delivery, from gap analysis and threat-informed detection design through to rule tuning and reusable content for the APAC practice
• Manage log ingestion and data quality programmes, including source audits, pipeline deployments (e.g. Bindplane), and compliance-aligned retention and cost policies
• Run SIEM/SOAR migration engagements end-to-end using Accenture's Modernisation Factory methodology, from future-state design through build and ongoing optimisation
• Act as primary delivery contact for customer engagements, managing stakeholders, escalations, and milestone reporting
• Direct and mentor Senior Analysts, quality-assuring their work and contributing to the practice's delivery methodologies and playbooks
• Lead data pipeline deployments across multiple platforms including Bindplane, and onboarding of custom parsers for non-standard log sources

Skills & Experience

• 5-8 years in SOC operations, security engineering, or detection engineering, including 2-3 years in a delivery-focused or senior practitioner role
• Hands-on experience designing and tuning detection rules in atleast one SIEM — Google SecOps / Chronicle, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, CrowdStrike Next-Gen SIEM, or QRadar
• Hands-on SOAR experience - playbook design, alert triage and enrichment, case management, and automation logic
• Proven ability to run security engagements end-to-end - from structured assessment and scoping through to findings delivery, implementation handoff, and SIEM/SOAR migration
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills - facilitating customer workshops, translating technical findings into executive-ready reports, and handling milestone tracking and escalations
• Understanding of a broad range of security telemetry, such as cloud: AWS CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, GCP Audit Logs, etc.; endpoint: Windows Event Logging and Syslog etc.
• SecOps platform certifications: Google Cloud Security, Splunk Enterprise Certified Architect, Microsoft SC-200
