You will be responsible for supporting and delivering go-to-market execution with strategic devices, services, technology and ecosystem partners.

Our ways of working: We're a flexible-first organisation, because we know people do their best work when they have choice and clarity. To support meaningful collaboration we ask everyone to spend at least eight days each month connecting in person. That doesn't just mean time in the office – it could be team meetings, offsites, volunteering days, cross-functional projects or away days, anywhere meaningful collaboration happens. What matters is making those moments purposeful, so when we come together it really counts.

Accessible, inclusive and equitable for all: Virgin Media O₂ is an equal opportunities employer and we're working hard to remove bias and barriers for our people and candidates.
