Technology consulting vacancies

Technology consultant

Javelin Group has a strong technology team. The work with clients divides into advisory services (technology consulting) and application development. The consulting team advises retailers on IT and application strategy, package selection and project, programme and change management. The application development team designs, builds and delivers bespoke retail solutions, based on both Java and Microsoft platforms. Projects range from major website builds (B&Q, Woolworths, Screwfix Direct) to specific retail application implementation (bid TV, Poundland, Carphone Warehouse).

Because of continued strong demand for our services (resulting in growth of 30%+ in each of the last three years) we are now looking to recruit exceptional individuals in a number of key areas.

The technology consultant defines the optimal use of technology in support of the business and its strategy.

Principle responsibilities

Using Javelin Group's market leading tools and techniques you will understand all parts of the business and how technology is currently being used to define requirements, identify potential solutions, help the client choose the right solution and put together the programmes to deliver the change.

In this advisory role you will be expected to have had prior experience of development in order to have an appreciation of how to set-up an implementation project.

Projects are typically 1-6 months in duration with a combination of on-site and office-based work. The consultant will normally work as part of a 2-4 person team, under director leadership.

Training

Whilst a full induction to the company will be provided, it is anticipated that the successful candidate will have the requisite skills and experience to “hit the ground running”.
