In this hands-on role, you’ll learn about the complexity of operations at a global business and what it takes to make everything run seamlessly.

Being a key part of the operations team involves working with colleagues in other teams and external partners to make sure we stay on track to meet our customer demands and targets. This will involve analysing data and performance metrics with leaders in your business area, as well as discussing the operational pros and cons of technical improvements with engineers.
