WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

Information Management & Technology (IM&T) underpins business operations and is embedded in the activities of every Function. Delivering efficient and effective IM&T requires all parts of our organisation to work together.

• Data – empowering every employee by providing access to trusted data and insight to perform their role effectively and efficiently.
• Cyber – ensuring all of our systems and products are safe, compliant, protected and assured. This enables the business to have secure digital transformation initiatives, mitigate cyber risks and move the company at the speed of the market through key cyber activities.

Across the disciplines, we have specialists working in product development, application support, testing, data and business analysis, business relationship management, architecture, project management, information security, security architecture, compliance, governance and people capability. This is not an exhaustive list.
