Why this job matters
Network Services are fundamental to how we live as employees and customers. The network we provide needs to be operational 24x7x365 to deliver a quality service to our customers across the consumer and business sectors. Cyber security is paramount in ensuring our critical services are always available and resilient. That is why the Government has set forth new legislation to establish a robust security framework for 5G, full fibre networks and our public electronic communications networks and services to ensure we design, build, and operate secure and resilient networks and manage their supply chains accordingly.
We have a central Security Transformation programme within the Network Services unit that will deliver common capability projects across the BT Group, including deliveries for our key networks such as the IPP (Internet & Peering platform) on which ~40% of the UK’s broadband traffic traverses.
