We work closely with our Development Domains and Business users to ensure they have the right tools to get our Products to the market as quickly and efficiently as possible, allowing the business growth NEXT has seen over the last few years.

We never standstill, we are constantly looking to evolve our technology, our applications and the services we offer our stakeholders. We really are a group of people who love technology, pushing boundaries and answering the what-ifs!

Working with us would mean exposure to new technologies and ways of working, getting involved in forcing through change and ultimately providing our customers with a better service.

We can promise an environment that is never dull with the freedom and support to express yourself to come up with new initiatives. If you want to suggest a new way of working, an improvement to an application or try a new technology…go for it!

We expect the right individual to have excellent communication skills, being able to work in a team, be involved in open discussion, communicate ideas, inclusion and diversity. Having strong analytical and problem-solving skills will be advantageous especially as the person in this role will be driving forward the new technologies and approach in Next Technology.
