SOC Manager (m/f/d)

at  Kloeckneri GmbH

YOUR MISSION

Kloeckner has one Global Security team to help bring Kloeckner to the next level while keeping them secure. This position will be working with team members and security experts from all over the world to build one robust security framework for Kloeckner.
The SOC Manager will serve as the primary point of contact between the organization and its Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP), overseeing the consumption and delivery of Security Operations Center (SOC) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) services. The SOC Manager ensures that cybersecurity incidents are handled effectively, reports on SOC operations, and collaborates with internal stakeholders to maintain a strong security posture. This role is critical in managing the relationship with the MSSP to ensure compliance, timely incident responses, and service level performance that aligns with business objectives.
This is a strategic role that does not involve direct management of an internal SOC team but requires oversight and governance of the MSSP-provided SOC services.

• Expertise in cybersecurity best practices and incident response frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, MITRE ATT&CK)
• Strong understanding of threat intelligence, risk management, and regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR, ISO 27001)
• Excellent English communication skills, both written and verbal. German language skills are a strong advantage
• Ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks, ensuring that security services are delivered effectively and incidents are responded to promptly
