We love what we do and what we do is important! We believe that everyone should leave feeling better - this means not just our guests, but also our teammates. Everyone should go home feeling better because they learned something new or had fun working that day. Therefore, we hire unique individuals who work together to create amazing experiences for our guests. We recognize that every member of the team contributes to the success of the whole hotel. No-one is more important than anyone else, and unless we are in it together, we can't create that special experience for our guests.

Your mission:

Should you decide to accept it...

We’re looking for an IT Security Analyst to help protect Virgin Hotels Collection’s computer networks and systems from cyber threats. This role plays a key part in supporting our infrastructure and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and industry best practices.

You’ll work closely with teams across the business to help plan, implement, and monitor security measures. Whether you're identifying vulnerabilities, responding to incidents, or educating others on best practices, your contribution will help keep our data and systems safe.

• Assess systems for potential vulnerabilities and contribute ideas for how to strengthen them.
• Monitor networks and security logs for unusual activity or breaches.
• Help shape and maintain our security policies and procedures in line with industry standards.
