Cyber Security Student Placement 2022

A little bit about the role

When you work for us, you’re more than a placement student – you join our rapidly expanding Gymshark family. We give people the tools they need to reach further, go faster and be the best version of themselves. We work hard, sure, but we have fun while we do it. Sound like you?

The Cyber Security Placement will be responsible for assisting the Cyber Security Team across a range of areas to protect our family, information and assets. This role will cover a full range of disciplines from physical cabling to alert response, awareness campaigns to compliance... and everything else in between!

Cyber Security is a fundamental part of how we keep our family safe; we are passionate about that, so we need you to be too. Whilst technical skill is highly valued, being approachable and having a positive attitude is paramount as you will ultimately be interacting with a lot of people across the business. Clear communication is essential.

  • Relevant compliance standards such as PCI DSS and ISO 27001

Awareness Specific
Culminating in delivering a mini campaign of your own, you will work with the Cyber Security Team alongside Copy, Artwork, Video, Brand and Internal Comms to gain knowledge and experience in:

  • Understanding a target audience, including how to grab attention
  • Using psychological levers to generate positive behavioural change
  • Adobe Creative Cloud

Incident & Threat Specific
As one of the team, you will work collaboratively to ensure the Gymshark family can operate effectively in a safe and secure environment. Along your journey, you will gain knowledge and experience in:

  • Monitoring security tool alerts to identify possible cyber incidents
  • Intelligence triage to assess company impact
  • Understanding of vulnerability management and the importance of patching
  • Incident response and incident management
  • Identification of threats through proactive threat hunting and user behaviour.
  • Security tool knowledge on SIEM, EDR/MDR, email protection & network protection

What you’ll need

We’re not about box-ticking, but if this profile speaks to you all the better:

  • Have successfully completed the penultimate year of your chosen degree
  • Ability to plan and manage time effectively
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Effective communication skills
  • Ability to work independently and in team environment
  • A demonstrable level of Industry awareness
