What percentage of Security Operations Center (SOC) Lead roles in New Zealand offer remote work?
Around 24% of active New Zealand listings advertise some remote or hybrid flexibility, though a meaningful share of monitoring and engineering work can run from anywhere in the country, though New Zealand's thin local specialist pool means Datacom and the banks often hire remote-first to widen the candidate net.
