Job description

DRIVE THE FUTURE OF DIGITAL

Our CIO Delivery Team is responsible for delivering complex projects, driving digital transformation, and ensuring seamless cross-team collaboration. Grow your potential as a Project Management Apprentice and join us at Virgin Media O2, earning a starting salary of £25,000!

Make things happen

As an apprentice, you'll be at the heart of project delivery—learning by doing and building skills for your career. You'll work closely with experienced Project Managers, Business Analysts, and Solutions Architects to understand digital transformation in a fast-paced environment. You'll develop confidence in real-world delivery, learn various project methodologies including Scrum, and see ideas turn into action through hands-on delivery. Your daily tasks may include:

1. Keeping projects on track: Managing workflows, project plans, stakeholder communication, and ensuring timely delivery.
2. Shaping the roadmap: Creating clear roadmaps, breaking projects into stages, identifying timelines, and highlighting risks.
3. Clearing the way: Identifying and resolving obstacles, raising issues early, and ensuring teams have what they need to progress.

We are committed to inclusivity and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply. The only barrier to applying is if you lack the legal right to work in the UK without our support.

What is involved with studying for an apprenticeship?

This programme combines on-the-job learning with academic study, spending about 20% of your time on coursework with our training providers. You'll receive support throughout, complete coursework, and upon completion, earn a nationally recognized qualification.

Who we are

Virgin Media O2 is the UK's fastest broadband network, a leading mobile brand, and one of the country's largest companies. We value diversity and high performance, offering the UK more choices and better value through our customer-centric approach. We look forward to seeing what you can achieve with us.

We are dedicated to building an inclusive workforce that reflects society, and welcome candidates of all backgrounds. The only restriction is if you do not have the right to work in the UK and cannot obtain it without support.

The must-haves

You need at least 5 GCSEs at grades 4-9, including Maths and English, to be eligible.

The qualities we're looking for

Bring your authentic self

We seek curious problem-solvers eager to embrace challenges and make a real impact. We value team players who are adaptable, innovative, and eager to contribute. You will be supported through a dedicated manager, a buddy system, and direct project team involvement. Additional qualities include:

• Enthusiasm and curiosity to learn
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Attention to detail

What's in it for you

Benefits include:

• A starting salary of £25,000, increasing to £28,000 after 12 months, and up to £33,500 upon completing your Level 4 apprenticeship.
• Support to pursue the Association of Project Management Qualification (APM PMQ).
• At least 23 days holiday plus your birthday off.
• Flexible benefits, including pension matching, medical plans, and holiday trading.
• Various discounts on leisure and household expenses.

Next steps

If you feel you belong here, we want to hear from you. After applying, the process may include an online test, telephone interview, coaching call, and assessment centre. Please inform us of any adjustments needed for your application. Applications are reviewed continuously, so apply early. Roles are conditional on passing background checks, including criminal and, where applicable, financial probity checks. We appreciate your interest in joining Virgin Media O2.
