Head of Security Operations You will own security operations at
Sokin: build it, run it, and grow it.
That covers detection strategy, incident response and management, vulnerability management, and identity governance, with day-to-day L1/L2 triage and a chunk of Sentinel content maintenance handled by an outsourced SOC/MSSP.
The exact MSSP scope is still being finalized as part of a broader investment case, so you'll help shape the split between what the MSSP owns and what stays in-house as the function matures, rather than inheriting a fixed operating model.
This is not a queue-management role, and it's not a role where you sit above an MSSP and relay their output.
You direct the detection strategy and hold the MSSP to a quality bar on the content they build and tune, you own L3 investigation and forensics, you run vulnerability management as a program rather than a scanner subscription, and you own identity governance and incident management end to end.
Where the MSSP can't cover something - bespoke detections, payments/fraud-specific logic, judgment calls in an active incident - that's you.
