• The SOC Shift Lead will ensure that personnel on shift execute operations as prescribed in SOPs, Work Instructions, and to include clarifying verbal direction from leadership. The shift lead should continuously validate that tickets and tasks are fully completed and, if necessary, turn over outstanding tickets to the next shift for the purpose of completing the individual task as quickly as possible.
