We’re looking for a Platforms Executive to join our Retail Media & Product Propositions team. This role is perfect for someone who’s curious about technology, enjoys solving problems, and wants to kick-start their career in business systems and platforms.

• Helping colleagues get the best out of our tools — answering questions, fixing small issues, and showing people how things work.
• Making simple system changes (like updating fields, layouts, or workflows).
• Assisting on new projects: testing, writing guides, reporting progress, and training users.
• Spotting opportunities to improve processes and integrations.
• Acting as first-line support by responding to help desk tickets.

What we’re looking for

• A recent graduate in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Technology, or similar (or equivalent experience/interest).
• A logical, detail-focused mindset with strong communication skills.
• Someone organised, proactive, and eager to learn.
• Comfortable using MS Office (Excel in particular).
• Bonus points for:
  • Knowledge of SQL.
  • Experience with project management tools like Monday.com, Trello, or Asana.
  • Exposure to working with large data sets.
