About PortSwigger
PortSwigger is a company built around a simple belief: security should empower people, not slow them down. We create world-class tooling that helps security teams and developers uncover and fix real vulnerabilities, the kind that actually matter. Our products are crafted with care, backed by deep research, and shaped by a relentless drive to make the web safer for everyone.
We’re a successful, engineering-led organisation where small squads are empowered to take forward work in a suitable way, high-leverage work. Curiosity fuels us, craftsmanship defines us, and mutual support keeps us growing together. Here, you’ll have real agency, clear direction, and the freedom to push boundaries, supported by thoughtful coaching and a culture that values learning as much as delivery.
Support Function
The Support function provides the specialist expertise and operational backbone that helps PortSwigger run effectively and scale well. It brings together teams across Culture, Finance, Technology and broader business support roles.
These teams create the conditions for others to do their best work by keeping the business well-supported, well-informed and running smoothly. Whether enabling better decisions, improving day-to-day experiences, or maintaining the systems and foundations we rely on, the Support function plays a vital role in helping PortSwigger operate with clarity, care and resilience.

The Role
We are looking for a strategically minded analytical partner who can operate at the intersection of data, commercial insight, and AI-enabled problem solving.

You will work across multiple business domains, partnering closely with stakeholders to understand problems deeply, challenge assumptions constructively, and generate insight that influences direction and action.
You will also help shape how analytical work evolves in an AI-first environment — combining human judgement with AI-enabled workflows to improve the quality, speed, and effectiveness of decision-making across the business.

Strong analytical and strategic reasoning capability

Experience solving commercially meaningful problems in ambiguous environments
-
Ability to communicate complex concepts clearly to non-technical audiences

Experience working with AI-enabled analytical workflows or strong curiosity to develop in this space
-
Comfortable operating autonomously while collaborating effectively across teams

Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building capability
-
High intellectual curiosity and growth mindset
-
Evidence of influencing strategic decisions through analysis and insight
Desirable
-
Experience operating in scaling or transforming businesses
-
SQL and/or Python capability
-
Experience evaluating AI-generated analytical outputs critically
-
Experience improving analytical capability or decision-making systems within organisations
-
Exposure to commercial strategy, operations, product, or finance environments
How We Work
