Shaping our digital future
We’ve been doing right by people since 1844. Our Digital technology and data team makes sure we carry on doing it in today’s fast-paced digital world.
Digital technology and data
Our Digital technology and data team helps to drive co-operation across Co-op – whether it’s through systems that connect our colleagues, insights that underpin our strategy, or platforms where we engage with our customers and member-owners. This team has a vital role to play in delivering our vision of co-operating to build more value for our member-owners every day.
Digital product and design
Our Digital product and design team is made up of small, self-directed product teams. They typically include User Researchers, Designers, Delivery Managers, and Product Managers, who collaborate with colleagues across our wider Digital Technology and Data team to create user-friendly digital products, services, and platforms.
Technology
Our technology teams build the digital products, services, and platforms that meet users’ needs and provide value to our customers, colleagues, and member-owners. This involves a lot of hard work and collaboration across teams like Information Security & Risk, Digital Engineering, Enterprise Architecture & Design, and Business Platforms. No matter where you join, you’ll be part of a community that regularly shares knowledge and experiences.
Data
Our data teams are made up of colleagues with a wide variety of skills and expertise. The data enablement team includes roles like Data Engineers, Data Scientists, and BI Developers, while our Advanced Analytics and Insight team includes roles like Data Analysts and Insight Managers. Together, they make sure we can put data at the heart of our decisions, helping us provide more value to our customers, colleagues, and member-owners.
