We’re a flexible-first organisation, because we know people do their best work when they have choice and clarity. To support meaningful collaboration, we ask everyone to spend at least eight days a month connecting with each other in person. That doesn’t just mean time in the office – it could be team meetings, offsites, volunteering days, cross-functional projects, or away days. What matters is making those moments count – so when we come together, it benefits everyone. The must haves In order to be considered, you must have the following experience;

• Experience operating in complex, senior-facing environments such as a CTO, CEO or ExCo office, with accountability beyond pure delivery
• Clear ownership of outcomes, including shaping direction, influencing decisions and seeing initiatives through end to end
• Ownership of high-quality senior content such as board papers, strategy decks or decision documents, with responsibility for substance and narrative
• Strong practical capability with Excel, PowerPoint and core digital tools, including building and improving artefacts independently
• A proven track record of delivering consistently at pace in demanding environments The other stuff we are looking for We’d also love you to bring;
• Experience working across multiple functions to improve governance, decision flow and ways of working
• Exposure to large-scale transformation, change or growth environments
• Experience within a technology-led or digital organisation
• A commitment to continuous learning and self-development
• Experience within the Telco industry What’s in it for you We know life isn’t just about work, so our benefits are built to support you in the moments that matter. You’ll get Bupa healthcare, wellbeing support, life cover, a pension and generous holiday -plus your birthday off.

And there’s more. Enjoy some extra perks on us, with optional electric vehicle lease and Cycle2Work schemes, dental insurance, neurodiversity assessments, and brilliant discounts on broadband, TV and mobile. You’ll even get access to the Virgin Family platform and the O₂ Priority app, with exclusive rewards, experiences and chances to attend events at The O₂ and beyond. Next steps If this feels like a place where you can belong, we’d love to see what you can do. Once you apply, the next steps might include a call with a recruiter, a video interview, an interview with the hiring manager and a task or assessment.

We’ll also ask about any adjustments you might need, and we’ll do our best to make them happen. We review applications and interview throughout the advert window, so it’s worth applying sooner rather than later. ]]>
