/*generated inline style */
Role Summary
The SOC System Tasking (SST) project was commissioned by the Home Office in late 2018. The mandate for the project derives from the National Security Capability Review ‘whole system approach’ ambition, subsequently, re-stated by the Home Office SOC Strategy. The aim of the project is to establish a single, whole-system approach to fighting SOC, which will be done through aligning collective efforts at all levels to develop a single prioritised view of demand, task the highest-priority responses accordingly, and co-ordinate equal access to capabilities so that SOC LE best respond collectively to the increasing volume and complexity of SOC. To date, SST has delivered a Prioritisation Mechanism (P-Mech) and the Federated Tasking Team (FTT). The P-Mech gives SOC LE a view of all demand across the system, for the first time. It works by all SOC operational activity being assessed through a single prioritisation mechanism, using a consistent methodology (MoRiLE), sitting on a single IT system (APMIS). This assessed demand creates the SOC Master list, which details the highest (P1) through to the lowest (P4) operational risk. The SOC Master list allows the high-end of high-harm to be managed effectively and collaboratively across the system, and provides national and regional tasking leads with objective assessments of threat, risk and harm on which to base tasking decisions. To enable and facilitate the more effective use of capabilities and the management of risk at the right level SST has implemented the FTT. The FTT is the executive body at the centre of the SOC tasking network and has the responsibility for coordinating partner access to capabilities. It also provides a single view and analysis of prioritised SOC demand. The FTT is formed of staff from across the system with NPCC the most significant contributor to the FTT in terms of resource, reflecting the balance of operational activity across the system. FTT managers are therefore responsible for managing a multi-agency team delivering high quality information products to the UK LE network.

The FTT manager responsible for the SOC Master List is also a key individual in designing and implementing new and innovative upgrades to APMIS/SOC Master List in order to ensure a continual improvement in the system and the information and products it provides. This requires the successful individual to be highly motivated, imaginative and have a knowledge of how UK LE partners work at all levels of the SOC system.
