Head of Cyber Security Operations (Arabic Speaker) - Up to 40,000 QAR

Direct message the job poster from Edison Smart®

The organisation is building a unified cyber-defence function that can withstand high-pressure environments, protect sensitive infrastructures, and operate seamlessly across traditional IT and industrial systems. You will be the person who turns this ambition into reality – shaping strategy, guiding operations, and ensuring threats are contained before they become crises.

Success in This Role Looks Like

• Threats are identified early, contained quickly, and escalated only when necessary.
• The detection ecosystem (tools, telemetry, automation) is cohesive, fast and continuously improving.
• Both business technology and industrial systems operate securely without disruption.
• Senior leadership receives clear visibility on risks, trends, and incidents.
• The team operates as a coordinated, confident, high-performance unit.

Strategic Domains You Will Own

A. Defensive Readiness & Live Response

You will be accountable for real-time monitoring, tactical response, and the resilience of the organisation during security events. This includes leading investigations, ensuring follow‑through, and steering the response whenever a major incident occurs.

B. Building the Security Nerve Centre

Instead of simply “running a SOC,” you will design how intelligence flows, how incidents move through the organisation, what the operating model looks like, and how the defence landscape scales. You will determine the tools, the architecture, the roles, and the automation pathways.

C. Protecting Industrial & Critical Environments

You will ensure industrial, operational and control systems are monitored, segmented, and protected in ways suitable for their sensitivity, including I CS / SCADA and connected operational technologies.

D. Governance, Assurance & Executive Communication

You’ll oversee internal standards, compliance checks, audit readiness, and security policy evolution. You will present insights, risk positions, and post‑incident reviews to senior leaders and external stakeholders.

From selecting platforms to evaluating partners, you will decide which technologies stay, which evolve, and which integrations matter. You will lead procurement cycles, performance reviews, and capability evaluations.

You will construct a security operations team that understands its purpose, knows its responsibilities, and is prepared for high‑stakes environments. Coaching, mentoring, role clarity and capability uplift all sit with you.
