Job description

We’re building Tomorrow’s Connections Today, bringing people together through the power of our technology. Liberty Global is a world leader in converged broadband, video and mobile communications and an active investor in cutting-edge infrastructure, content and technology ventures. With our investments in fibre-based and 5G networks we play a vital role in society, currently providing over 85 million fixed and mobile connections and rolling out the next generation of products and services, while readying our networks for 10 Gbps and beyond. We’re creating national champions, combining the best broadband and mobile networks under brands such as Virgin Media-02 in the UK, VodafoneZiggo in The Netherlands, Telenet in Belgium, Sunrise in Switzerland, Virgin Media in Ireland and UPC in Slovakia. Liberty Global Ventures, our global investment arm, has a portfolio of more than 75 companies and funds across content, technology and infrastructure, including strategic stakes in ITV, Univision, Plume, Lionsgate and the Formula E racing series. Our scale enables us to transfer knowledge and expertise across our operations and investments, creating a dynamic family of brands united in the pursuit of innovation and excellence. And we’re prioritising diversity, equity and inclusion in our workplace and communities, while reducing our impact on the environment. We are using technology as a force for good; for our people, our partners and the planet. Join us on our dedicated graduate scheme, and you’ll gain in-depth experience of our Cybersecurity operations, while developing your expertise, studying towards internationally recognised qualifications, and laying the groundwork for a future leadership career with us.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Our scheme consists of three rotations over the course of two years, including:

• Information Protection (Governance, Risk & Compliance)
• Cybersecurity Technology Strategy & Assurance
• Cybersecurity Services Delivery Management

During the programme, you will build a core understanding of our strategy and operations across different domains and markets and try different roles for accelerated growth. You could work as a Business Information Security consultant, facilitating cross-market security initiatives end to end. You could be investigating new technology concepts and articulating their relevance and impact to senior stakeholders. The roles will be varied, some strategic, others more operational, giving you a flavour of different career paths. You may also have the option in your second year for an international rotation within our Operating Companies and Ventures. As AI becomes increasingly embedded across technology and security, you may also gain exposure to AI-enabled security tooling, automation and emerging risks associated with AI systems, including how software and data can be used to strengthen security operations and engineering.

LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT

At Liberty Global we are committed to developing talented people to move onwards and upwards through our organization during their programme and beyond. You will receive an L&D Curriculum that looks at personal development as well as technical expertise running through your program. You’ll also benefit from on-the-job experience working on impactful projects

“After attending the assessment centre during my application, it was clear that whilst Liberty Global is a large organisation, the culture was more welcoming and more aligned to me than the Big 4, for example. Additionally, from a cybersecurity perspective working for an organisation that provides broadband, video and mobile communications is an excellent learning opportunity.”
