About Us
You know Next, but did you know we’re a FTSE-100 retail company employing over 35,000 people across the UK and Ireland. We’re the UK’s 2nd largest fashion retailer and for Kidswear we’re the market leader. At the last count we have over 500 stores, plus the Next Online and it’s now possible to buy on-line from over 70 countries around the world! So we’ve gone global!
Your role
While you’ll have heard our name, there’s a lot you probably don’t know about NEXT. Like how we facilitate eCommerce for numerous other brands that don’t have the scale and know-how we do. And that after over 40 years, we’re growing faster than ever.
Technology drives what we do. Plain and simple. As we’re going through a huge change as a business, we need a solid team with us who are committed to driving our systems forward.
In this 12-month placement, you’ll help us keep our systems safe by actively monitoring and responding to potential threats. You\'ll gain hands-on experience in a fast-growing field, working across the wider Information Security department. This is a unique opportunity to learn from experienced professionals, investigating security incidents and helping our company recover quickly.
You’ll be a key part of our team, contributing to multiple areas of our work. You’ll assist our Engineering team in maintaining our security controls and help the Vulnerability & Threat Management team by investigating vulnerabilities and threats. You will also help our GRC team with important tasks like creating and updating documents and reports, which helps us understand the security landscape and make informed decisions.
You'll help us stay on top of new threats and discover ways to improve our security tools. This role offers the chance to work directly with different teams to test our defenses and find opportunities for growth. If you’re a problem-solver with a passion for technology, we want to hear from you.
You'll be doing all this from our Leicestershire Head Office. A fast-paced, encouraging, and supportive environment in which everyone brings an energy and a commitment to delivering for our customers and their own careers.
Bring your energy. Play to your strengths. Make things bigger and better than before. Be Brave Be You Be NEXT.
