Lead the next phase of a SOC that's already earning trust.

SIS runs a 24x7 OT-SOC trusted by critical infrastructure and industrial clients across Asia Pacific and the Middle East. Client demand is growing, and this role leads the SOC's next phase, growing the team, improving detection and response, and shaping the standards it runs on as it takes on more clients and complexity.

This SOC is a strategic priority for the business, not a maintenance role. Our reputation is built on technical depth and outcomes that hold up under engineering, operational and executive scrutiny, and you'd be leading its next stage of growth.

The Role

You'll lead the SOC's operations, technology and detection engineering, and support pre-sales for managed services deals. You'll manage in-house analysts and outsourced SOC partners, and be the technical voice clients trust when something goes wrong in their OT workplace. This is a leadership role for someone who still wants their hands on the technical detail, not just oversight from a distance.

What You'll Be Doing

- Scale SOC operations, detection use cases and playbooks as client demand grows
- Own 24x7 monitoring and detection across OT/IT client environments, leading response for confirmed, high-consequence incidents
- Direct the SOC's technology stack and detection engineering roadmap (SIEM, SOAR, OT/ICS intrusion detection)
- Coach,



mentor and develop a blended team of in-house analysts and outsourced partners
- Support pre-sales and solution design for new managed services clients
- Represent the SOC's capability and credibility to clients, at engineering and executive level

What We're Looking For

- Deep, hands-on technical depth in OT/ICS cyber security: this is not a generic IT security background stretched to cover OT
- Proven SOC experience, whether leading a SOC, as a senior technical member of one, or on the client side managing an outsourced SOC
- Comfortable operating at both the technical coalface and the commercial/pre-sales table
- Strong stakeholder management: trusted by clients' engineering and executive teams alike
- Experience across SIEM, EDR, NDR and OT monitoring platforms (SCADA, industrial networks, energy systems)
- Energised by scaling a capability that already works, not just maintaining it

Why SIS

- A proven specialist: 100% dedicated to OT / industrial cyber security, trusted in critical infrastructure delivery
- Real influence: shape the SOC's culture, standards and approach as it scales
- Credibility that matters: work is valued because it stands up to engineering, operational and executive scrutiny
- Regional scale with focus: delivery across Asia Pacific and the Middle East without losing specialist depth
- Sustainable excellence: success built on quality and accountability, not volume or hype
