Information Technology
IT is a truly integrated function that drives innovation in pursuit of competitive advantage.
Four areas, many roles
We offer a hugely diverse range of roles and projects. You could be part of a team exploring emerging markets and new ways to work globally. You could be partnering a major retailer to develop a web-enabled tool for promotions planning. You could be helping manage our own technology infrastructure. Broadly IT falls into four areas.
Strategy & planning
Strategy defines and manages the process of deploying and integrating IT capabilities to support business goals. Architecture and technical planning specifies systems architectures, identifying emerging technologies and techniques and assessing their value. Portfolio, programme and project management coordinates projects and personnel during the design, management and implementation of business change initiatives. Information management designs information structures, setting policies for sourcing, maintenance and analysis. Includes compliance and data protection.
Innovation
Business analysis evaluates functions and processes, identifies how to improve them and qualifies the potential business benefits. IT analysis and development manages resources in order to plan and carry out projects. Also integrates and tests components/interfaces to create operational systems.
Business partnering
Provides advice, assistance and leadership to the business to ensure maximise benefit from the products and services available. The team acts as the 'one face of IT' to the rest of the organisation and represents all areas in business engagement.
Services
Vendor partnering sources and manages external suppliers and negotiates contracts to continuously improve service delivery. Service delivery and management covers everything from risk management to network infrastructures, application support to database administration.
