The role
You'll lead the delivery of security services for clients in Kuwait, with a focus on SOC planning, design, and build-out. You'll draw on Accenture's global delivery network (methods, tooling, accelerators, talent) and tailor it to Kuwaiti clients, whether that's a bank standing up a new SOC, an energy company monitoring critical infrastructure, or a government entity working toward national cyber security requirements.

• Manage and guide your team, making decisions on priorities, resourcing, and approach
• Track progress against plan and make sure delivery stays aligned with client goals and compliance requirements
• Spot risks early and put mitigation in place before they hit timelines or service quality
• Solve problems that cut across teams and workstreams, working closely with other delivery leads
• Bring fresh ideas to how we deliver, using automation, better tooling, and proven approaches from our global teams
• Run regular team check-ins and knowledge-sharing sessions so learning spreads fast
• Gather client feedback and use it to sharpen our services

What you bring

• Strong, hands-on experience planning and building SOCs, including operating models, use case development, and onboarding of log sources
• Solid working experience with Splunk SIEM operations
• Good grasp of delivery governance, including reporting, risk management, and quality control
• Experience leading and developing delivery teams
• Ability to communicate clearly with technical teams and client stakeholders alike
• Experience in the GCC market and familiarity with regional regulatory expectations

Preferred certifications
