Senior Pre-Contract Associate

This hybrid role offers a great balance of home and office working. You'll join your colleagues in your local office at least once a month.

As the UK's largest fibre-only network, and its only proven wholesale challenger, we're busy setting new standards for what digital infrastructure can and should be.

Designed from scratch for the internet, our network is greener, more reliable and ready for the future. The products we provide over it not only lead the market on speed, value and service, they help businesses to innovate, provide entire communities with a better foundation for their digital lives and support economic growth, locally and nationally.

What does that mean for you? The opportunity to make internet connections (and daily life) a whole lot better, for a lot of people

Joining us as a Senior Pre-Contract Associate

You'll receive a salary of up to £50,000, a performance related bonus, and a range of benefits to support you across your financial, physical and mental wellbeing.

• Strong Excel skills (Pivot Tables, VLOOKUPs, and HLOOKUPs) to manage data with ease
• Experience in contracts - a solid understanding of legal and commercial documents, even if not formally qualified
• Ability to juggle multiple tasks while keeping everything accurate and on track
