**Principal Security Advisor**

Everyone's voice matters here. We aren’t looking for passengers, we’re looking for those interested in an opportunity to develop their skills and experience in information security and make a real difference.

In short, to work here, you need to give a s** - after all, it could be your data you're protecting.

In return for your commitment, we will develop you personally and professionally in the company of competent colleagues, and you will have a professional development budget at your disposal each year for just that. We also want to recognise and reward your ongoing efforts and have a range of ways of doing that, from an annual bonus, flexible work arrangements, to cake ceremonies (we love cake) or a special night out. But best of all, we’ll give you a hoodie and are happy for you to dress casually when working in the office.
