Job Description: We are looking for a strategic and technical leader to take charge of our client Cybersecurity Operations (Cybersecurity Operations Lead/Manager). Your main objective will be to ensure the excellence of our SOC, security engineering, and incident response, guaranteeing that service levels (SLAs/KPIs) are consistently met through automation and continuous improvement.

This is not just a high-level management role, we are looking for someone with true hands-on execution capabilities who will act as the ultimate focal point (Tier 3) for complex major incidents, expertly managing both internal teams and external partners (MSSP/MDR).

Must-Have:

- Solid Experience: 7+ years in Cybersecurity Operations, with a strong background in SOC, security engineering, and vulnerability/exposure management.

- Proven Leadership: 3+ years of experience managing internal technical teams and driving the performance of external vendors and partners (MSSP/MDR governance).

- Hands-on & Tier 3 Expertise: Proven ability to execute advanced cybersecurity operations and act as the primary Tier 3 focal point for major incident resolution.

- Service Management: Experience in designing service frameworks, defining service catalogs, and measuring operational KPIs and SLAs.

- Languages: Mandatory fluency in both Portuguese and English (written and spoken).

- Location: Available to work in a Hybrid model based in Porto.

Would be great if you have:

- Strong mastery of the Identity Security ecosystem (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID, MDI, Conditional Access policies, and PIM/PAM).

- Experience with incident response automation and orchestration (SOAR playbooks, auto-containment, MIM runbooks).

- Knowledge of Cloud Security (Defender for Cloud, CSPM/CWPP) and/or OT/ICS network monitoring.

- Advanced practices in Exposure Management, going beyond traditional scanning (e.g., Attack Surface Management, BOM/SBOM, threat-informed prioritization like EPSS/KEV).

- Hands-on experience in the full lifecycle of Detection Engineering and regular Threat Hunting cadences.

- Familiarity with integrating Data Security Ops (DLP, Insider Risk) and Business Continuity plans (DR/BCP, including tabletop exercises).

What’s in it for you:

- Continuous Training and Certifications

- GRiT Prizes: GRiT Baby Gift, GRiT Birthday Prize, GRiT Recommendation Prize

- Exclusive Partnerships/Discounts: (Gym, Health, Well-being, Lifestyle, Financial, etc…)

- Unique Events
