Job Description

As part of the Modelling & Prioritisation team, you will develop Cloud-based solutions to automate and simplify day-to-day tasks within the wider Planning function.

You will be responsible for developing and maintaining end-to-end data transformation pipelines, automating the running of various bespoke tools and processes, as well as optimising and performing data analysis jobs.

Who we are

The UK’s fastest broadband network. The nation’s best-loved mobile brand. And, one of the UK's biggest companies too. We put our customers first, making life simpler, smoother, and more joyful. With big ambitions and a brilliant team, we’re building a more connected future for everyone.

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. So, we build equity and inclusion into everything we do, from the policies we craft to the relationships we shape. We support and encourage you to be your authentic self throughout your application journey with us.

The must haves

In order to be considered, you must have the following experience;

• Proven experience in modelling and delivering scenario-based analysis.
• Proven experience in a programming language and data analysis tools such as Python or R.
• Proven experience with Google Cloud Platform, specifically for handling and processing large datasets, running simulations, and managing data storage solutions.
• Ability to work with SQL databases, with an emphasis on querying, optimizing, and joining datasets.
• Good applied mathematical & statistical skills, including knowledge of statistical tests, distributions, regression, etc.

The other stuff we are looking for

We'd also love you to bring;

• Ability to translate ‘exam style questions’ from finance/strategy teams into modelled or data solutions.
• Technical understanding of the radio access network and performance fundamentals as well as an appreciation into basic telecoms business/financial concepts e.g., Churn, MBoU, ARPU, RoI, CapEx, and OpEx.
• Ability and willingness to learn, test and use various software or analytical tools to break down, analyse, join and automate data processing.
• Analytical and critical thinker with a desire to solve problems and deliver.
• Team members are expected to make use of AI tools to accelerate task delivery, including generating boilerplate code, automating repetitive tasks and extracting insights from data. Embracing these technologies is key to improving team efficiency and focussing effort on high-value problem solving.

Our goal is to celebrate our people, their lives and everything in-between. We aim to create a culture that empowers everyone to bring the best versions of themselves to work each and every day. We believe the most inclusive and diverse culture makes for a better business and a brighter world.
