Who we are

Commercial and IT Enablement are the digital engine room of Virgin Media O2. We understand the needs of the business to deliver products & services into the hands of our customers by using the best people, tools & techniques. We blend technical knowledge, efficiency and innovation to deliver digital solutions with momentum, quality and robustness.

We are looking for a Front End Development Manager with passion, energy, a strong desire to learn and improve and a commitment to driving our product journey forward. You’ll have to make tough decisions, implement best practices and provide compromises when situations are not ideal. The candidate will have experience of working in Agile teams preferably in the Digital domain.

The Front End Development Manager will be helping our development teams build highly scalable products. Working under the vision of a product owner and alongside developers, UX, operational experts and our delivery team, you will be responsible for making sure that features are delivered with the highest possible quality.

The must haves

What's in it for you?

Next steps

If we feel like a place where you can belong, we'd love to learn more about you. Once you've submitted an application the next steps of the process, if successful, are likely to include a telephone conversation, a competency based interview, completion of a Saville Wave assessment and a final stage interview with a presentation.

When you apply, you'll be asked about any adjustments you might need to support the recruitment process. Let us know, and we'll be sure to discuss it with you. Thanks for your patience in the meantime and for showing an interest in joining the Virgin Media O2 family.
