Let’s talk numbers. When it comes to UK retail, it’s hard to find a bigger name. We sell thousands of items an hour and are expanding our e-commerce business by the second. For anyone in Tech, this is the place to learn. To grow. And to thrive.

You’ll work closely with the functional team, development teams and key business users to keep everyone up to date and head off any issues that might be on the horizon.
In addition, you’ll also create and enhance our in-house technologies. This will involve a range of tech, such as:

2. SQL for database interrogation
3. Web based and mobile testing (Android)
4. Azure DevOps, ADO, Leapwork, Selenium, Browserstack
