  • Proactively identify risks and opportunities for improvement, recommending changes to maintain security, resilience, and alignment with best practice.
  • Ensure compliance with established change management practices when implementing changes.
  • Provide technical leadership to ensure the effective, secure, reliable delivery of network security services.
  • Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation, ensuring rapid response and service delivery during critical incidents.

You’ll bring…

  • Comprehensive knowledge of networking and network security principals, with the ability to apply this knowledge to complex customer environments.
  • Experience in incident response, troubleshooting and fault resolution.
  • Experience in network operations and support, with the ability to provide technical leadership and guidance.
  • A collaborative mindset with a passion for teamwork, mentoring, and contributing to the development of team capability.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
