Context

Alcohol online continues to accelerate, growing ten times faster than traditional channels. Over 80% of all purchasing decisions are currently influenced by digital today. The Digital Commerce team in Europe are responsible for driving and influencing every online & omnichannel sale of our brands both on sites we own and partner’s sites (trade and consumer facing). Our purpose as a team is to embed Digital Commerce into the DNA of the business, delivering accelerated growth. This field has massive strategic importance, not only to Diageo but also to our customers who see a considerable cost benefit in moving their business online. There is no other part of our business that is disrupting at that level of scale and pace. In today’s connected world, digital is no longer ‘optional’.

A fair chance

Celebrating our inclusive and diverse culture is core to Diageo’s purpose of “celebrating life every day everywhere”. This purpose is, in itself, inclusive in nature, as it values everybody irrespective of background, disability, religion, gender identity, sexuality or ethnicity.

We know that for our business to thrive and for Diageo to realize its ambition, we depend on having diverse talent with a range of backgrounds, skills and capabilities in each of the 180 countries in which we operate and to reflect our broad consumer base. We view diversity as one of the key enablers that helps our business to grow and our values, purpose and standards set the conditions for us to respect the unique contribution each person brings.

Flexibility is key to success in our business and many of our staff work flexibly in many different ways, including part-time, compressed hours, flexible location. Please talk to us about what flexibility means to you and don’t let anything stop you from applying.
