Online is big business for the John Lewis Partnership. We’re innovating. We’re growing. Therefore, it’s a key focus for us. We need digital specialists who can ensure we keep ahead of the digital curve.
We’re at the forefront of developing new ways to allow our customers to shop. Whether it’s ordering groceries online, browsing the latest fashion accessories on their tablet, or looking up the best travel insurance for their holiday on their phone.
More and more of us have ‘clicked’ with digital. So our business has changed. Now we’re omni-channel, which means that the internet, mobile app, call centres and home delivery are as much a part of John Lewis & Partners and Waitrose & Partners as our stores are.

Key projects we’re working on: Customer and Partner App Development, Content & Commerce, Loyalty and Personalisation. We’re looking for Digital Designers and Digital Content Creators to bring a creative flair to these projects, and the many more that we have in the pipeline.
Technology we use: GCP, AWS, Adobe AEM, React, Elasticsearch, Web services, SOA, REST API, Micro services, Cloud Technologies, React/Flux, Node.js, AngularJS and Java.
