About the Role
We are in the middle of a business wide digital transformation. New software and better ways of working across the whole company. The digital team is a key department here. It sits at the centre of how the business is changing: our systems, our data and the way our people work. This is a hands on role. We need someone with the drive to improve things, the people skills to bring staff with them and the ability to juggle several projects at once. You will take ownership of our systems and the productivity of our staff. You will be given real guidance and real responsibility from day one. Your work will land on a real shop floor within weeks.
