Business Development Executive - #2166817

The Company

Every single day in the UK, there are 65,000 attempted cyber-attacks on small businesses—4,500 of which succeed. That’s where this Leeds-based cyber security scale-up comes in.

Since launching in 2014, this company has created a cutting-edge platform that helps SMEs defend themselves against the kind of threats that can shut a business down in seconds. With demand for cyber protection skyrocketing, they’re growing fast—looking to double in size in the next 12 months.

If you’re a graduate with ambition, drive, and a curious mind, this is your chance to break into one of the world’s fastest-growing tech sectors, with a company that truly invests in its people.
