Senior Cyber Security Operations Lead

We are seeking a Senior SOC Analyst to join our team in Spain. As a key member of our growing Cyber Security Operations Centre (SOC) team, you will play a senior leadership role within one of our regional sub-teams.

In this position, you will be based in either Málaga or Seville and act as the technical and operational go-to for escalations, mentoring junior and mid-level analysts while also conducting high-level investigations and threat hunts.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape the SOC function as we build a future-focused, regionally distributed team.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor a small SOC team (Junior & Mid Analysts) within your regional sub-team.
• Act as Shift Lead, taking ownership of escalations and critical decision-making across major incidents.
• Perform advanced incident analysis, threat hunting, and incident response.
• Guide and support less experienced team members; help define best practices and standard operating procedures.
• Work closely with the SOC Lead and report key developments, incident outcomes, and trends.
• Help shape the operational future of the SOC, including planning for an upcoming shift model rollout.
• Support the Head of Cyber Ops in embedding functional leadership and developing scalable sub-team structures.

About You

You're not just technically strong – you lead from the front. You're confident making high-pressure decisions, guiding analysts through complex threat scenarios, and stepping into a command role when needed.

Requirements

We're looking for someone with a strong background in Security Operations, ideally within an enterprise SOC. You should have proven experience with incident response and threat hunting, adept at advanced incident analysis and security monitoring.

Able to lead and mentor junior analysts effectively, familiar with SIEM tools, EDR platforms, and threat intelligence feeds. Calm under pressure and capable of making fast, informed decisions.

Benefits

Be part of a fast-growing and technically excellent cyber operations function. Influence the direction of a new team – not just follow playbooks. Take a senior seat in shaping our regional security leadership.

Team Structure & Growth Path

• You\'ll join a team of 5 currently – with ambitions to scale to 8 per region.
• Each region will have two sub-teams, and you will be the most senior figure in one of them.
• There is a clearly defined progression path and room for you to grow into a larger leadership role as we scale the SOC operations across Europe.

Shift Model & Working Hours

• Initial hours : Standard 40-hour week (8 / 9am–5 / 6pm)
• Within 6 months : Transition to 4 on / 4 off model (10-hour shifts) – a typical SOC shift rotation
• Flexibility is key – and shift readiness will be an advantage.

We\'re Looking For

Someone who thrives in a technical and dynamic SOC environment, with a passion for leading from the front.
