Job description

NaukriMitra is hiring an Online Network Security Operations Manager to lead our cybersecurity efforts end to end - not just monitoring for threats, but owning the strategy behind how we detect, respond to, and recover from them. Both full-time and part-time arrangements are open for the right candidate.

Scope of This Role

This position sits above the day-to-day analyst work, though you'll stay close to it. You're setting the direction for how security operations run, coordinating incident response when something goes wrong, and making sure the team under you has clear protocols to follow rather than relying on guesswork. It's a leadership role built on technical credibility, not just management skills.

Core Responsibilities

• Overseeing security protocols and operations across our online network infrastructure
• Leading incident response efforts, making fast, decisive calls when breaches occur
• Directing threat detection strategy and ensuring the team stays ahead of emerging risks
• Managing Security Operations Center (SOC) activity, including real-time monitoring and escalation paths
• Coordinating with cross-functional teams to align cybersecurity efforts with broader business priorities
• Reporting on network integrity, incident trends, and areas requiring strategic investment

What We Need From You

You should already have real experience managing or leading a security operations function, not just contributing to one. A strategic mindset toward risk mitigation matters as much as technical depth - this role involves deciding where resources go, not only executing tasks. Comfort working remotely, along with the discipline to lead a distributed team effectively, is essential. This opening will resonate with anyone searching for network security manager jobs remote or a cybersecurity operations manager vacancy near me, and it reflects a clear shift in cybersecurity hiring in 2026, where companies increasingly want dedicated leadership for security operations rather than folding it into a general IT manager's plate.

Additional Strengths

• Prior experience leading SOC teams or coordinating large-scale incident response
• A track record of building or refining threat-detection frameworks
• Familiarity with both remote and in-office security operations models
• Strong stakeholder communication, especially when explaining risk to non-technical leadership

Compensation and Flexibility

The role offers $47,000 per year, with the option of a part-time or full-time commitment depending on what fits your situation.

What the Team Looks Like

Expect a team that moves quickly when it matters and stays methodical the rest of the time. Decisions get made without unnecessary layers of sign-off, and you'll be trusted to set the tone for how your team handles pressure during an active incident. Collaboration across departments is routine here, not an exception.
