About nexfibre
nexfibre is a next-generation fibre broadband company, formed in December 2022 as a joint venture between InfraVia Capital Partners, Liberty Global and Telefónica. We are on a mission to deliver high-speed broadband across the UK on a wholesale-basis that can be used by all retail Internet Service Providers – our network current passes over 2.6M homes. We are backed by a £4.5 billion investment by our investors and banks.
Working closely with our commercial & strategic partner Virgin Media O2, we will create the only national scale fibre to the home network to compete with BT Openreach. We are supporting the Government’s ambition to tackle digital exclusion, deliver nationwide ultrafast broadband rollout by 2030 and level up disconnected communities by investing in the areas we’re building in and acting as a net-contributor. nexfibre is a small, growing and dynamic organization.
We look to attract high performing, energetic, analytical and entrepreneurial team members with an engaged, low-ego culture and growth mindset.
Job Purpose
The role holder will work with senior management in nexfibre as well as with nexfibre’s board of directors and investors across a variety of areas to help define the strategic priorities and direction of the business.
This role will have responsibility for creating and managing a range of projects across all aspects of the business. The role will lead our assessment of the highly dynamic market landscape and will be a key member of the team analysing and executing inorganic M&A and joint venture opportunities.
The role will work very closely with the strategy and investment teams at our investors as well as at Virgin Media O2.
