While some employees may require further security clearance, the BPSS check is mandatory and all offers of employment are conditional upon successful completion. ### **Have you made it this far?** If you’re still reading, we think there’s a strong chance you might be our kind of person. Here’s the thing — research suggests many women and underrepresented groups don’t apply unless they meet every requirement. Even if you don’t tick every box above, we encourage you to introduce yourself. We believe a diversity of perspectives and experiences makes a team stronger — and the stronger our team, the more successful we will be. ## Apply [Apply at Phoenix Software](https://apply.workable.com/phoenix-software/j/FEF6E48C5C/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
