This role will also be tasked with supporting and maintaining our SIEM tools, ensuring optimal performance, availability, and integration with other security solutions. Who we are
The UK’s fastest broadband network. The nation’s best-loved mobile brand. And, one of the UK's biggest companies too.
Diverse, hard-working teams - jam packed with serious talent. Together, we offer the UK more choice and better value, through our boundary-pushing, customer-championing values and ambitions.

In order to be considered, you must have the following experience:

  • Strong experience in SIEM content development and SIEM tool administration.

The other stuff we are looking for
We'd also love you to bring;

  • Excellent problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills.
  • Relevant certifications such as GCIA, GCIH, or other SIEM-specific certifications are a plus.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field desirable
  • but not required.

What's in it for you
Our goal is to celebrate our people, their lives and everything in-between. We aim to create a culture that empowers everyone to bring the best versions of themselves to work each and every day. We believe the most inclusive and diverse culture makes for a better business and a brighter world.
