Information Services

What we do

Information Services (IS) is integral to the success of all other business functions - helping give us our competitive edge by ensuring secure, global, robust information systems are always in place. Overall, we’re charged with creating a technical landscape agile enough to cope with change and capable of improving business effectiveness.

Our input is fundamental in order to develop innovative solutions that make strategic business initiatives possible. This requires us to build strong internal partnerships. Equally important is our focus on assessing, identifying and moving forward only those solutions that truly add value. It’s because we are so selective and astute in our recommendations we are able to deliver world class solutions.

Building a career here involves exposure to different areas of the business but there are no set routes to obtain the skills and knowledge you’ll need. This means you can enjoy a highly flexible career path.

How we do it

We focus our business on two key areas, to help us respond to change quickly and to proactively improve the business. Our Systems Solutions team deliver global solutions that support our business initiatives. Working hand-in-hand with the project team, they are able to deal in depth with strategic initiatives and evolve these by providing ground-breaking technical solutions.

Our production teams focus on the core need to deliver and maintain our global systems. With a thorough understanding of capabilities and technology, they are able to implement localised ideas that make our business as effective as possible.

Challenges we face

Our key global challenge is to make sure we’re always aligned with the business and key stakeholders. That means understanding their goals and formulating viable project plans - wherever we go we need to have the business with us 100%.

Locally, IS needs to work closely with the business to provide daily support, whilst continuing to stay very much aligned with global strategy. More generally we need to keep up with a business that is constantly evolving. This means proactively providing solutions to keep our competitive edge whatever internal or market-driven changes arise.

What you’ll need

To be a success in IS takes the kind of person who not only makes a strong impact on others, but has the potential to keep building on it. Our people don’t hide in back rooms - they quickly get themselves known in every corner of the business.

Confident and innovative, you’ll thrive on challenges, gain support for solutions, and always follow through to delivery. Analytical ability is crucial - you’ll always be able to balance the technical challenge against the business benefits it will deliver. With this impressive combination, you’ll not only fit straight in, but your hard work, consistency and commitment will pay off with international travel and global exposure.
