Who we are

A new B2B venture.

  • Proven experience in handling organisational change.
  • Ability to build honest, open, and productive relationships with leaders.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Strong capability to prioritise and manage multiple tasks in a dynamic environment

The other stuff we are looking for

  • Proficiency in HR systems and Microsoft Office.
  • Ability to work autonomously and as part of a wider team.
  • CIPD qualification or equivalent HR experience.
  • Experience in coaching, mentoring, or developing others.
  • A proactive, flexible, and solution-focused mindset.

What's in it for you

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.

Working at Virgin Media O2, you receive a generous reward package filled with benefits, along with plenty of extras you can include if you wish.

Next steps

If we feel like a place where you can belong, we'd love to learn more about you and your experience. The recruitment process includes two interview stages and a Saville Assessment.

When you apply, you'll be asked about any adjustments you might need to support the recruitment process. Let us know, and we'll be sure to discuss it with you.

Please note: Applications will be reviewed, and interviews conducted throughout the duration of this advert, therefore we may bring the closing date forward. We encourage all interested applicants to apply as soon as possible. If you’re offered a job with us, it will be conditional, based on the passing of background checks.
