Successful individuals will rotate around a number of different departments to broaden their understanding of our business and commercial acumen. Your future growth will be dependent on delivery of outstanding results.

    Key Responsibilities

    The talent programme builds on a very successful previous intakes that have collectively delivered an enormous impact on the business and have been rewarded with material pay and career progression. The scale of the opportunity cannot be underestimated and as such we are seeking exceptional people for these roles.

    A summary of the role dimensions is as follows:

    • Drive the plan / manage projects

  • You need to take responsibility for devising and executing a winning plan.
  • In that plan you crisply define the target, the "what" (as opposed to the how) and manage the delivery of the "what."

  • You are disciplined and report weekly, and on time, about the performance, issues, and opportunities of your area of responsibility.

    • Be precise

  • You communicate extremely clearly in writing and verbally. You err on the side of clarity vs. explaining the obvious.
  • You create collateral, training, FAQs, presentations, white papers that are simple, complete, precise, and accessible to anyone that needs them.
