About the role

We wouldn’t be able to positively impact the way the world shops without our passionate team members - who keep our business running, our vans delivering, our customers' products picked and packed, and our proprietary technology operating at optimum levels.

In the interview, we would like you to:

• Clearly explain the ‘why’ behind the data and its impact on decision-making.
