Security Analyst Placement Programme

Bristol, UK Motability Operations Ltd Ready to start your career in cyber security and discover where it could take you? 

There’s a lot more to cyber security than one role. Over 12 months, you’ll get to experience different roles across our Security team and discover the areas that interest you most.

You’ll work alongside experienced security professionals, build new skills and see different types of security work in action. And you do not need to know where you want your career to go before you start.

This is your opportunity to explore, learn and start discovering the career path that could be right for you.

Here are some of the areas you could work in:

• Application Security: Learn how we build security into applications, including vulnerability management, penetration testing, threat modelling and security reviews. 
• Cloud Security: Gain experience of how we protect cloud environments, identify security weaknesses and help teams apply appropriate security controls. 
• Identity & Access Management: Learn how we manage identities and access to systems, including access reviews, privileged access and the principles of giving people the right access at the right time. 
  Security Operations: See how we identify, investigate and respond to security threats and incidents, working alongside our Security Operations team and security partners. 
• IT Continuity: Learn how we prepare for major technology incidents, including business continuity, disaster recovery and exercises that test how effectively we can recover. 
• Vulnerability Management: Help identify and track security vulnerabilities, understand the risks they present and work with teams as they are addressed. 
• Threat Modelling & Security Testing: Support security specialists in understanding what could go wrong with new systems and services and how those risks can be reduced. 
  
• Risk & Governance: Learn how security risks are identified, recorded and communicated, and how policies and standards help us manage security consistently. 
  
• Projects & Improvement: Contribute to security projects and improvement activities, bringing your own ideas and learning how security changes are delivered in a large organisation. 

Our 12-month placement programme is built on three key pillars: 

Making an Impact, Personal Development and the Project. 

Making an Impact – get involved in meaningful work that adds real value from day one. You’ll support your team’s goals and help deliver work that makes a difference – for your team, and for the people we do it all for: our customers. 

Personal Development – build your confidence and skills through mentoring, learning sessions and events – all designed to support your growth and goals. 

The Project – work with other students to lead a project that creates real, positive impact. 
Our programmes go above and beyond just the day job. You’ll gain valuable experience in your chosen business area while also having the space and opportunity to challenge yourself and develop your skills.
