Scope We are looking for a Cyber Security Operations Manager to join the IT Security team within the IT Corporate department, responsible for the operational execution and coordination of cybersecurity activities across the organization. This hands-on role acts as the primary link between IT operational teams (Infrastructure, Support, Applications) and governance/compliance (CISO Advisor), focusing on security operations, incident response, detection, vulnerability management, and remediation. The manager translates cybersecurity policies into concrete day-to-day processes, tools, and operational behaviors, working closely with all IT teams, though this is not a governance or policy-driven role, nor does it include direct administration of infrastructure components (firewalls, switches, servers), which remain with the Infrastructure & Digital Platforms teams. The Cyber Security Operations Manager also has direct managerial responsibility over Cyber Security Analysts, overseeing their development, performance, and alignment with operational security objectives, while promoting a Shift Left approach that delegates low-complexity or repetitive tasks (e.g. basic alerts, endpoint maintenance, access requests) to first-level support where appropriate. As EVS is an NIS2 Essential Entity under Belgian law currently pursuing ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification (target: April 2027), this role contributes directly to operational compliance, control implementation, and audit readiness.Job Description As part of the IT Security team, the Cyber Security Operations Manager will contribute to the following activities: Security Operations & Incident Response

• Ensure these solutions are properly calibrated, monitored, and aligned with operational needs
• Work with the SOC and service providers to enhance detection quality and cut down on false positives

Operational Governance & Compliance

• Translate cybersecurity policies into practice by embedding requirements into IT workflows
• Maintain compliance with applicable regulations and frameworks (e.g. NIS2, CRA, ISO/IEC 27001)
• Keep security procedures and documentation clear, usable, and up to date

Coordination & Collaboration

• Serve as the operational link between IT teams (Infrastructure, Support, Applications) and governance functions
• Partner closely with Infrastructure (TST) and Support (SST) teams to define secure configuration baselines
• Liaise with external providers (SOC, MSSP, penetration testers)

People & Resource Management

• Manage Cyber Security Analysts, including onboarding, task prioritization, coaching, and performance follow-up
• Supervise internal and external security resources based at headquarters or remote sites
• Support security awareness initiatives and technical training for IT staff

Reporting & Continuous Improvement

• Maintain dashboards, KPIs, and indicators tracking operational security performance

• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously, take ownership, and drive initiatives forward

• Working alongside a SOC or managed security service provider (MSSP), including incident handling, escalation, and service oversightOffer
