An overview of the role

:

The Retail Industry is massively disrupted.

New entrants, the explosion of media touchpoints, changing consumer expectations, digital innovation and access to data has changed the playing field for many retail companies.

As a global leader in strategy and transformation, Capgemini Invent provide industry-specific services and guidance to the world's leading retail companies.

Over the last 5 years, Capgemini Invent have achieved continued growth and are now seeking to recruit a Vice President to support the continued expansion in the sector.

Our retail business brings together skills and expertise from across the Capgemini Invent capability units and works closely with other service lines across the Group.

We oversee a portfolio which covers some of the biggest names in UK retail, across the apparel, grocery, GM and QSR sub-sectors.

As part of a joint sector unit with our Consumer Products business we work together where sector boundaries continue to blur with the rise of D2C and the face of traditional retail evolves.

We believe in a 'sustainable by default' mindset, working closely with Capgemini Invent's centre of excellence for sustainability to challenge our thinking and that of our clients.

This spirit of rapid innovation transcends all our retail projects, be it the use of data science to prove complex supply chain hypotheses, building agility into core ERP landscapes or seeking new ways for retailers to engage with their customers.

Why this role?

:

We help our clients to become more customer focused, to embrace the power of new technologies, data science and the digital revolution, to explore new business models, to control costs and add value for customers and to achieve their environment and sustainability commitments.

We have deep expertis
