AND-E was shortlisted in the Best Insurance Employer category at the 2022 British Insurance Awards, earning a 5* rating!
You will enjoy improving IT environments rather than simply maintaining them and be comfortable working across a broad range of responsibilities, from hands-on end-user support and device management through to Microsoft 365 administration, user access, automation and IT operations.
You will thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment where you can work independently, take ownership of your responsibilities and build strong relationships across the business. You will be proactive, solutions-focused and committed to delivering a reliable, secure and user-focused IT service.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Aioi R&D Lab during a period of growth and organisational change. As the Lab moves towards operating as an independent entity, you will support the development of our IT environment by helping implement new systems, improve existing processes and contribute to building an efficient, secure and scalable technology function.
If you’re looking to go further, faster join us and enjoy every opportunity.
