As New Look continues to modernise parts of its technology estate, you'll also support applications and integrations delivered through cloud platforms and enterprise data services, working with technologies such as Microsoft Azure, enterprise APIs and modern data platforms where relevant. You'll work closely with the Service Desk, business stakeholders, Project Delivery, Infrastructure, Cyber Security, Data & BI teams and third-party suppliers, ensuring services are transitioned effectively into Business-as-Usual, supplier performance is actively managed, and continual service improvements are delivered to support New Look's technology strategy. Standard hours are 37.5 per week. Additional hours and participation in an out-of-hours support rota may be required to fulfil business needs WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

Provide Application Services support for Retail, Corporate and Trading applications, investigating incidents and service requests escalated by the Service Desk.

Support the transition of new applications, enhancements and projects into Business-as-Usual, ensuring operational readiness, knowledge transfer and support documentation are completed. Triage and escalate complex issues to internal technology teams and third-party suppliers where appropriate, ensuring timely resolution and communication throughout the incident lifecycle. Monitor application health, integrations, interfaces, scheduled processing and reporting feeds, proactively identifying issues before they impact business operations. Investigate application, integration, reporting feed and performance issues, working collaboratively with internal teams and suppliers to identify root cause and implement permanent fixes. Support Incident, Problem, Change using the agreed IT Service Management platform (e.g. ServiceNow, Jira). Build effective relationships with third-party suppliers, monitoring service performance, coordinating investigations and contributing to regular service review meetings to ensure agreed service levels are achieved. Support cloud-hosted and SaaS applications, working with suppliers to maintain service availability, resilience and performance. Maintain application support documentation, operational procedures, knowledge articles and service ownership information. Identify opportunities to improve application stability, automate repetitive operational activities, strengthen monitoring and observability, and enhance overall service resilience. Support business-critical trading events, seasonal activities and new store readiness to ensure technology services remain available during key trading periods.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
