We have a fantastic opportunity for a Project Manager to join our dynamic, down-to-earth and collaborative itim team!

Our vision is to continually use technology intelligently and creatively; to continue transforming the way retail businesses and their supply chains operate, and to continue adding value for our customers through thought and technology leadership. Therefore, we provide a suite of flexible solutions proven at adding retail value as retailers transform stores, digital capabilities and operations that can effectively compete in this digital world of modern retailing whilst helping to improve financial performance.

We are very proud to work with over 65 retailers across 10 countries, some of these include John Lewis, Office, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, The White Company, WHSmith, Harvey Nicholas, JD, Specsavers and The Entertainer.
