Why BT Group?

We’ve always been an organisation with purpose; we connect for good.   You can trace this back to our beginning as pioneers of the world’s first telecommunications company.  At our heart, we’re a technology company with research and innovation in our bones, and a desire to be personal, simple, and brilliant for our customers - the values we live by. Creating an inclusive working environment where people from all backgrounds can succeed.

Our pursuit of progress over the past 180 years has established BT as a strong, successful brand, with huge scale, capable of achieving great things.  From supporting emergency services, hospitals, banks and keeping economies around the world online, safe, and secure, to delivering large scale innovative technology infrastructure like the creation of BT Sport. 

Today, in this fast changing, always on, digital world, our purpose remains true. Yet the market conditions, regulation and competition we face are tougher than ever before.  So if you have the drive, optimism, and resilience to help propel us forward, we’ll offer unrivalled personal development, a wealth of opportunities to learn, experience new things, and pursue new careers.  If that’s you, and what you’re looking for. 

We’d love you to be part of our future.

Why this job matters

As more devices become connected to the internet, it is critical that we develop more addressing space for our customers and their devices.

To support this aim, BT has a strategy to move towards an IPv6 native network future – this role will own delivery of that strategy.
