Reporting to the Director of GPS Operations, this role is needed to establish and scale reliable SOC operations across Oracle’s hyperscale data center campuses, including environments operating through active construction, commissioning, energization, and steady-state operations. The SOC Manager is responsible for signal quality, operational visibility, detection effectiveness, escalation enforcement, and incident coordination across multiple campuses and partner teams. The role is especially critical during construction-to-operations transitions, where temporary systems, evolving security postures, commissioning activities, and frequent operational handoffs create elevated risk and high alarm volume. Without centralized SOC leadership, incidents may be improperly triaged, accountability gaps may persist, escalation paths may fail, and operational visibility may become inconsistent, increasing risk to uptime, compliance, operational readiness, and customer trust.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Responsible for security in a specified facility or region. Conduct theft investigations. Provide security for sensitive exit interviews. Act as liaison between company and law enforcement agency. Implement corporate security policies and procedures. May be responsible for managing contract guard personnel.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience) in Security, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
- Minimum of 7 years of experience in security operations, control/monitoring center management, or physical security technology deployment in an enterprise environment.
- Demonstrated expertise with SOC/LAC design and physical security alarm monitoring platforms, such as Lenel, Milestone, Honeywell, Avigilon, Genetec, or equivalent.
- Experience implementing automation or orchestration for alarm handling, event triage, and response processes.
- Proven ability to create and update operational runbooks—not just theoretical or prior experience.
- Physical Security Information Management system (PSIM) experience.
- ONTIC experience is highly desirable.
- Familiarity with security operations playbooks, digital runbooks, and regulatory requirements for alarm/event documentation (SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, etc.).
- Strong skills in vendor management, project coordination, and technical troubleshooting.
- Solid understanding of physical security standards.
- Ability to develop, document, and maintain operational procedures and training resources for monitoring centers.
- Excellent communicator, able to brief technical and business stakeholders, train operations teams, and report on risk and system health.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Security Operations Manager
Translate your Australian credentials for U.S. employers
AGSVA clearances and ISO 27001 experience don't map automatically to U.S. frameworks. Document how your credentials align to NIST CSF, FedRAMP, or SOC 2 standards before outreach, hiring managers screen on these terms.
Target sectors with established E-3 hiring pipelines
Financial services, defense contractors, and healthcare networks regularly sponsor E-3 visa workers for security leadership roles. Focus your search on employers with existing international hiring infrastructure, not those doing sponsorship for the first time.
Search for roles using Migrate Mate's E-3 job board
Most general job boards don't filter by visa sponsorship type. Migrate Mate surfaces Security Operations Manager roles from employers already set up to sponsor E-3 visas, cutting out the manual vetting process.
Confirm the LCA wage level before accepting an offer
Your employer files a Labor Condition Application with the DOL certifying your salary meets the prevailing wage for your metro area and job level. Verify the wage tier matches your seniority, a Level I or II LCA for a manager-grade role can create problems at the consulate.
Get your employer's HR team aligned on E-3 mechanics early
Many U.S. employers conflate E-3 with H-1B visa and assume a lottery is involved. Clarify upfront that E-3 has no cap, no lottery, and requires only LCA certification and a consulate appointment, this prevents offer rescissions driven by misunderstanding.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the LCA and consulate prep
Security Operations Manager petitions draw consular scrutiny around specialty occupation framing. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles your LCA filing, visa paperwork, and consulate appointment preparation so your application package is built correctly from the start.
E-3 Visa Security Operations Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Security Operations Manager jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to find Security Operations Manager roles from employers already set up to sponsor E-3 visas. Standard job boards rarely filter by visa type, so you end up cold-screening dozens of roles only to find the employer won't sponsor. Migrate Mate pre-qualifies listings so you spend time on opportunities that are actually viable.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Security Operations Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided your job offer requires at minimum a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as cybersecurity, information systems, or computer science. Broad management roles that accept any bachelor's degree regardless of field can face scrutiny at the consulate. Your offer letter and the LCA should reflect a degree requirement tied directly to the technical nature of the security function.
How does the E-3 compare to H-1B for Security Operations Manager roles?
The E-3 is available only to Australian citizens but has no annual cap and no lottery, meaning you can apply any time of year and start within weeks of receiving an offer. H-1B selection is lottery-based with a roughly 25% selection rate for standard registrations, and cap-subject petitions only begin employment on October 1. For Australians, the E-3 is a faster and more predictable path.
Can I change employers or get promoted while on an E-3 visa?
Changing employers requires a new LCA and, in most cases, a new E-3 visa stamp at a consulate before starting with the new company. A promotion that changes your job title or materially alters your duties may also require an updated LCA. USCIS allows continued employment while a change of status petition is pending in some circumstances, but the safest approach is to confirm the new documentation is in order before the role change takes effect.
