• Classification of malicious websites, social media profiles, apps, emails, and phone numbers;


• Providing clear and professional feedback to customers on incidents and classifications;


• Sharing your ideas on how to improve processes and workflows.

Based at our Bath office, but with hybrid flexibility, you’ll report directly to a Technical Operations Team Lead and will work closely with colleagues across different teams.

  • Comprehensive wellness provisions
  
  
  • Regular events such as monthly board game nights, quarterly socials and a big summer party
  
  
  
  

To be successful, you’ll need:

• Attention to detail, adaptability and strong intellectual and commercial curiosity;


• A positive, helpful and solutions-focused approach;


• Interest in the internet and cybercrime prevention;


• Excellent communication skills with a high standard of written English;


• Ability to engage with people in a warm, helpful, and professional way;


• Self-motivation, ability to take initiative, and work as part of a team;


• Aptitude for analysing and using technical information;


• Competence in handling incoming phone calls;


• Determination, enthusiasm, and a solutions-focused approach;


• Some experience in cybersecurity is useful but not essential as full training will be provided.

Your standard working days will be Monday to Friday. We also have a rota system for limited weekend and evening working  - because Netcraft protects its customers 24/7, 365 days per year - which we'll discuss with you at interview.

We warmly welcome candidates from any and every walk of life. Even if you’re not sure you can tick all the boxes above, please do apply – we review every application with real interest. We’re also happy to adjust our hiring process to ensure that candidates with special needs or disabilities can participate just as fully and comfortably as anyone else.
