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
Who You Are
- Hands-on experience in SOC operations, incident response leadership, or cybersecurity operations
- Deep understanding of detection engineering, response workflows, and the full incident lifecycle
- Strong analytical writing skills — you can translate complex findings into structured, actionable documentation
- A sharp instinct for spotting what's broken, missing, or underperforming in a security operation
Nice To Have
- Familiarity with SIEM platforms, EDR tools, and cloud-native detection systems
- Experience conducting SOC maturity assessments or red/purple team engagements
- Background in building or auditing response playbooks at scale
Why Join Us
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Apply your expertise to meaningful, high-stakes security work
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of clearly defined, impactful tasks
- Ongoing contract potential as assessments expand across new engagements
- Work that directly strengthens the security posture of real organizations
