Job Description

About the Program

DO YOU LIVE AND BREATHE DIGITAL INNOVATION? Now more than ever, the success of our business is underpinned by cutting-edge technology. As a placement student you'll have an analyst mindset and be excited by the possibilities of exploring new digital directions. You'll quickly discover a wealth of technical expertise and be matched with a team that best suits your skills. You may find yourself developing bespoke software to help buyers strike deals; or devising better analytics and data visualization tools in data warehousing; or configuring the core enterprise systems that run our business.

What You'll Do

As part of our 11-month Placement program, the first few months provides an opportunity to get to know your team and understand how they work. You'll be given real hands-on experience from the beginning—solving live issues, building automated tests or developing new features. You'll be discovering loads of 'new-tech', but you'll also learn IT's important business role.

What We're Looking For

• Business / IT/ management degree, or any degree if accompanied with a demonstrable passion for IT
• A fascination for how technology drives business and enhances customer experience
• Curiosity for identifying better ways of doing things and challenging the status quo
• A truly collaborative mindset
• It doesn't matter whether your forte is Python, HTML, mobile development, ERP apps, database tech, information security or anything else. What's critical is that you have a solid understanding of software and a passion for using it to make a real difference.

What we offer

• Generous holiday allowance plus bank holidays
• Exclusive employee discounts at TK Maxx and Homesense
• Ongoing learning and development opportunities
• A collaborative, inclusive culture where your voice is valued
• Access to wellbeing support and resources
• Pension and life assurance schemes
• Opportunities to grow your career across our global business
• Hybrid working model with flexibility
• A vibrant, campus-style head office in the heart of Watford-featuring a subsidised canteen, onsite gym, free parking, and just a short walk from Watford Junction Station
