Our latest award recognised us as the “Leading Strategic/Technology Advisory Group of the Year 2023” at Commodity Trading Week.

This is a contract position.

Our Values:

Our values are Care, Quality and Leadership.

Like all great professional services organisations, our aim is to delight our clients through the delivery of excellence and adherence to the highest levels of accountability in all that we do.

We are constantly seeking to hire additional team members who, like us, celebrate continuous learning and who want to work in a high-respect environment to contribute significantly to delivering the change that our clients have come to expect of Digiterre.
