Our Ways of Working

We’re a flexible-first organisation, because we know people do their best work when they have choice and clarity. To support meaningful collaboration, we ask everyone to spend at least eight days a month connecting with each other in person.

That doesn’t just mean time in the office – it could be team meetings, offsites, volunteering days, cross-functional projects, or away days. What matters is making those moments count – so when we come together, it benefits everyone.

Accessible, Inclusive and Equitable for All

We believe a better tomorrow starts with the choices we make today. That means moving the dial on diversity, building equity into everything we do and putting inclusion at the heart of our business.

Virgin Media O₂ is an equal opportunities employer and we work hard to remove bias and barriers. We want every person who joins us – and everyone thinking about joining us – to feel seen, heard and supported.

When you work with us, you’ll have access to our award-winning employee network groups. These communities bring people together, champion allyship and create uplifting spaces where you can learn, share and feel part of something bigger. They play a big role in helping people feel connected from day one.

The Must Haves

In order to be considered for this role you must have the following experience;

• Strong understanding of Windows Server and Linux operating systems, particularly Red Hat
• Experience using network troubleshooting tools and methods to diagnose and resolve issues
• Scripting or coding experience in at least one language, such as Bash, Python or PowerShell
• Experience with a SIEM solution such as ArcSight, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel or Google Chronicle
• CompTIA Security+ certification

The Other Stuff We Are Looking For

We would also like you to bring;

• Cloud foundation or associate-level training, such as AWS Associate or Google Cloud Associate
• Hands-on exposure to endpoint or perimeter security controls
• Experience supporting policy-driven security technologies
• An interest in automation, integration and continuous improvement
• A commitment to ongoing professional development and further security certifications

What's in It for You

We know life isn’t just about work, so our benefits are built to support you in the moments that matter. You’ll get Bupa healthcare, wellbeing support, life cover, a pension and generous holiday –plus your birthday off.

And there’s more. Enjoy some extra perks on us, with optional electric vehicle lease and Cycle2Work schemes, dental insurance, neurodiversity assessments, and brilliant discounts on broadband, TV and mobile. You’ll even get access to the Virgin Family platform and the O₂ Priority app, with exclusive rewards, experiences and chances to attend events at The O₂ and beyond.

Next Steps

If this feels like a place where you can belong, we’d love to see what you can do. Once you apply, the next steps might include a call with a recruiter, a video interview, an interview with the hiring manager and a task or assessment.

We’ll also ask about any adjustments you might need, and we’ll do our best to make them happen.

We review applications and interview throughout the advert window, so it’s worth applying sooner rather than later. If you’re offered the role, the offer will be subject to background checks, including a criminal record check and, for some roles, a financial background check.
