Who are RECCo?
We are an independent, non-profit organisation responsible for the Retail Energy Code — a key part of how the GB retail energy market is regulated.
But we don’t just manage rules. We look ahead, not just react, helping the market change in the right way. We deliver secure digital services, clear governance, and practical solutions that protect consumers, support innovation, and help the energy system move towards net zero.
What you’ll be doing
This role provides an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to start their career in security and grow within RECCo. The Security Analyst is an entry-level position that will be involved in the risk management, information security and cyber security of our organization.
Working remotely, you’ll join our growing security function and collaborate with teams across RECCo, supporting them in keeping the organization safe. You will monitor for threats to RECCo via our security tools, and review security output from our partner organisations. You will work with colleagues across the organization to help protect our systems and data.
You will receive mentorship, training and the opportunity to develop your skills while working in a supportive environment. No prior professional experience is required, but a strong interest in security, problem-solving and a willingness to learn are essential. Prior formal training and certification is desirable.
