Motive provides an integrated platform to help improve the safety, productivity, and profitability of fleet operations for the physical economy. Backed by Index, Insight and IVP.
About the role
We are hiring a Senior Manager, Security Operations to build, lead and grow Motive's SOC. This is a founding leadership role — you will shape the team, the tooling, the detection strategy and the operating model rather than inheriting a mature organization and maintaining it. Reporting to the CISO, you will own the full detection and response lifecycle: detection engineering, 24/7 incident response, threat hunting, threat intelligence, security analytics, and endpoint and workload security.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years in security operations, incident response, detection engineering or threat intelligence, with 3+ years leading teams
- Experience building or substantially rebuilding a SOC function, rather than only operating within an established one
- Credible across both estates — production and cloud security monitoring as well as corporate and enterprise security operations. Candidates strong in only one should be ready to show how they would build the other
- Strong background in cloud and container security monitoring, with AWS and Kubernetes strongly preferred, including the practical reality that production monitoring must be introduced without destabilizing production
- Solid grounding in identity-centric attack paths — SSO, OAuth, session compromise, MFA bypass and privilege escalation across SaaS and cloud
- Proven incident command experience on significant incidents, including executive communication under pressure, and the judgment to escalate appropriately without crying wolf or sitting on something serious
