Salary: £70,000 - £95,000

Security Clearance Requirements
Due to working with a number of government bodies, SC clearance is required for our customer facing teams. You do not need active SC clearance as we will undertake checks upon you joining, but you must be eligible to pass SC clearance. In future, DV clearance may be required, so the ability/willingness to pass DV clearance is advantageous but not essential.

Due to the nature of this project we are only able to accept UK based applicants for this role.
