Pros
I have been at ZeroFox since December 2020 and my career here has moved faster and more meaningfully than I ever expected when I walked in the door.
Started as a Platform Operations Specialist. Within eight months, I was promoted to Tier 2 - not through politics, not through tenure, but because the results earned it. That early signal told me everything about how this company operates. Results are actually seen here, not just promised to be.
By April 2022, I was leading the Platform Operations Specialist team. The transition from individual contributor to Team Lead is something a lot of companies talk about supporting but very few actually scaffold properly. ZeroFox gave me room to grow into the role, make mistakes, course-correct, and build a team that functioned well. I had support from leadership without being micromanaged - a balance that is harder to find than people think.
April 2024, an Internal Job Posting gave me the chance to step into a new challenge - Team Lead for the Platform Data Specialist team. This is where the work got genuinely complex. Operating across data analysis, operational reporting, workflow optimisation, cross-functional collaboration with engineering, and managing stakeholder expectations across global time zones. It stretched me in every direction and I came out significantly better for it.
December 2025 brought something I had not anticipated. ZeroFox approached me with a newly created role - Principal Disruption Operations Lead. Not a standard promotion. A role shaped around what I actually bring, sitting at the senior edge of disruption operations, AI-driven automation, provider enforcement policy, and operational strategy. That kind of investment in a person says more than any policy document ever could.
The work itself is genuinely interesting. If you care about how threats get discovered, validated, and disrupted at scale - provider policies, enforcement workflows, automation, machine learning, operational data -this is one of the few places where you work across all of it.
Cons
The pace is demanding and the environment is not designed to be slow or stable. Working across global teams means flexibility outside standard hours is occasionally required, particularly during high-stakes operational periods. Resourcing during growth phases can sometimes lag behind scope.
