The Cyber Defence Manager is responsible for leading the bank’s operational cybersecurity defence functions including threat detection, incident response, threat intelligence, and security monitoring. This role plays a critical part in protecting the bank’s digital infrastructure, customer data, and systems from internal and external cyber threats.

  • Threat Monitoring & Detection : Oversee 24 / 7 SOC operations, ensuring threats are identified, triaged, and escalated appropriately across endpoints, network, cloud, and mobile.
  • Cyber Incident Response Management : Lead and coordinate the full incident response lifecycle – including preparation, detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned.
  • Manage intake and operationalization of threat intelligence from multiple sources including GSOC, FinTIP, regulators, and industry peers.
  • Ensure threat advisories are assessed, acted upon when relevant, and documented.
  • Provide timely, contextualized threat reporting to stakeholders, including near-miss analysis.
  • Threat Landscape Reporting :

Regularly report on threat trends, top threats to the bank, and actions taken (e.g., IOC blocking, network rule updates).

  • Summarize threat exposure in a business-relevant format for executive and committee presentations.
  • Vulnerability Coordination :
  • Collaborate with Infrastructure and Application teams to ensure vulnerabilities discovered through threat intel or incident investigations are addressed.

  • Work closely with the Vulnerability Management team on exploit intelligence and prioritization.
  • Tooling & Optimization : Manage and tune tools such as SIEM (e.g., Sentinel), SOAR, EDR, and TIP to improve detection fidelity, response speed, and reduce false positives.
  • Automation & Playbooks : Develop and maintain incident response playbooks and automate where feasible (via SOAR or scripts) to ensure consistent response actions.
  • Threat Hunting : Coordinate proactive threat hunts based on emerging TTPs and internal threat scenarios. Ensure findings are documented and lessons are applied.
  • Cyber Resilience Testing : Conduct or support cyber simulation exercises (e.g., Red Team, Purple Team, or tabletop drills) to evaluate readiness and response maturity.
  • Collaboration : Act as the point of contact during active incidents and collaborate with stakeholders including Infra, Apps, Legal, Risk, and Comms.
  • Regulatory & Audit Support : Support requests from regulators, internal audit, and external assessments by providing evidence of threat monitoring and incident response controls.
  • Job Requirements & Criteria :

    Qualifications & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related field. Master’s or certifications (e.g., CISSP, GIAC, GCIH, GCIA) are advantageous.
  • Certifications in cybersecurity technical domains is a plus.
  • 5 years of relevant experience in cybersecurity operations
  • Strong experience managing SOC operations and incident response processes.
  • Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF, or ISO 27001.

  • Familiarity with threat intel platforms (TIPs) and integration of threat data.

  • Team leadership experience, including coaching and performance management.
  • A proactive mindset and drive for operational excellence.
  • Able to work independently on projects driving closure towards objectives.
