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 *****:**** certification (target: April ****), 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
Oversee day-to-day security operations, including SOC activities and threat monitoring
Ensure effective detection, alert triage, escalation, and response to security incidents
Coordinate incident response efforts across IT teams and external partners
Take part in post-incident reviews and forensic analyses to strengthen organizational resilience
Vulnerability & Remediation Management




Organize and support internal and external penetration testing engagements
Track remediation plans and ensure proper follow-up through to closure
Run and continuously refine vulnerability management processes and supporting tools
Security Tooling & Monitoring
Deploy, operate, and fine-tune security solutions (e.g. SIEM, vulnerability scanners, EDR-related tooling)
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 *****)
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
Spot opportunities for improvement and quick wins




Help shape the cybersecurity roadmap from an execution-focused perspective

Solid grasp of incident response, threat detection, and vulnerability management
