• Team lunches
• Seasonal celebrations (Halloween, Diwali, Christmas)

• Meals out to celebrate project achievements
• Recognition of amazing work via Employee of the Month
• Charity fundraising events (Christmas Jumper Day, Children in Need)

• Academic achievement – preferably you’ll have a STEM-related degree, however, if you have a strong academic record, are passionate about pursuing a career in test and are willing to learn then we want to hear from you.
• Interests outside of University – what makes you stand out from the crowd and why are you remarkable?
• Work experience – you’ll ideally have gained some level of work experience with retail sector exposure advantageous.
• Flexibility and ability to travel – The opportunity is based in either Warwick or London however travel is fundamental to the role (post-COVID); you’ll view this as an invaluable opportunity to develop your experience, increase your commerciality and exposure to different working environments.
