GTM and Planning Manager

Job Description

Our Fixed Wholesale division is expanding — building new commercial capabilities to maximise the value of VMO2’s fixed network assets and strengthen partnerships with ISPs serving homes across the UK. With the launch of our new relationship with O2 Daisy, this is a pivotal moment for the business.

We’re looking for a commercially driven GTM & Planning Manager to join us during this exciting phase of growth. This is a genuinely high-impact role where you’ll shape our go-to-market strategy and help define the future direction of the division. The role is hybrid, with two days per week in our London, Birmingham or Reading offices.

You’ll lead the planning and coordination of GTM activity across multiple sectors, developing insight-led plans that deliver against our budget and proactively identifying risks and recovery actions ahead of trading periods.

Working closely with the wider Fixed Wholesale team, you’ll support key trading decisions, align commercial priorities, and ensure we have clear, executable plans to achieve — and exceed — our annual targets.
