M&S has reopened its online careers website almost three months after it was forced to pause recruitment following a cyber attack in April.

The retailer’s careers page is displaying vacancies again for the first time in several weeks, The Grocer reported.

Jobs listed include a senior buyer role, an ecommerce and dispatch stock planner, and four roles in digital and tech. However, there are currently no store positions displayed on the site.

M&S held walk-in recruitment days last month to fill vacant store staff positions while its online portal was unable to take applications.



Last week, three teenage boys and a 20-year-old woman were arrested in connection to the cyber attacks which hit M&S, Co-op and Harrods.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) said the suspects were detained early Thursday morning (10 July) across the West Midlands, London and Staffordshire.

The hacks, which are believed to be linked to the cybercrime group known as Scattered Spider, forced M&S to suspend online orders for six weeks, costing the business an estimated £300m.
