About The Role

We are in the middle of a major transformation of our supply chain and logistics businesses, adding value through technology enablement.. Underpinning this is some really exciting technology we’re delivering at pace and some older tech which we need to move away from in order to keep moving forward. 

We are developing a broad range of solutions, from the latest AI forecasting algorithms through to new android apps for our colleagues in store. We’ve invested heavily in automation, what once took months to test can now be assured in hours. And at the heart of the platform are cloud based microservices which have helped us grow and scale at speed. There is a lot going on, it’s intellectually stimulating and it’s delivering real improvement to our people and change for our customers.

Excited? We think these roles are broader than just tech and delivery.

Results are important, but we’re in this for the long haul and ‘how’ we get there really matters. We’ve got some big teams, many working remotely to deliver our changes. We see being able to nurture a happy motivated team where everyone feels valued as a core part of these new roles. Alongside that, our dream candidate will ‘get the tech’ but be able to tread the boards with the business as well. 

We need people who are ‘self starters’ for these roles, there will be plenty of support in the background but we’re looking for people who can create a buzz. These are four day a week roles and we can be flexible in terms of working patterns. As many of our teams are in different sites and countries it makes sense that this role will be home based half the time. That said, we think it’s important to spend the other half of the week in the office to network with the other teams.
