From Support to Strategy

Our functional teams are the architects of our success. In HR, you aren't just 'administering'; you are building the workforce of the future. In Finance, you aren't just 'counting'; you are enabling the investment that keeps us at the cutting edge of security technology. We empower our desk-based teams to act as strategic consultants to our operational leaders.

We see a number of ways to develop your career whether that's moving from a Specialist to a Manager, Head of Department, or Director, broadening your skills for example an HR professional moving into Operations, or a Finance analyst moving into Commercial Bidding or gaining specialist in-depth knowledge, for example, a generalist IT manager becoming a Cyber Security Architect or a Procurement officer becoming a Global Category Lead.

This business-wide knowledge is highly valued for future C-suite roles; We don't just want you to do your job; we want you to be the best in your field.

I started the Level 5 Management Apprenticeship when I was 54. But my age wasn’t a barrier at all. Even when imposter syndrome kicks in, I have been supported by people who have pointed out my skills and really encouraged me.
