If you're an Indirect Buyer who's never worked IT but wants to, we'll help you get there, including support toward MCIPS.

Hybrid working (2-3 days a week on-site), quarterly team meetings that rotate between UK, Germany, Italy and Paris, and a package that includes bonus, overtime, flexi-leave, up to 14% pension contribution and a genuinely flexible approach to how and where you work. British citizenship is required for security clearance purposes.
