You will help formulate and advance our resilience framework - utilising AI tools where appropriate - to ensure we maintain an effective, state-of-the-art response to major incidents and potential operational disruptions.
This role is UK-based with travel to our UK Fulfillment Centres (CFCs), as well as occasional international travel to support our global operational locations.
