At the IET, making our world a better place starts by creating a better place for our people. At the IET you’ll have more than just a job. Our work is exciting and challenging, connecting the people who solve the problems that matter. It means working with us has real meaning and impact, and you’ll grow – professionally and personally – in ways you never thought possible. We’re also making significant investments in our people, including providing a modern, vibrant workplace and embracing hybrid working.
What you’ll be doing
The Business Relationship function, sits within our Technology Department, acts as a vital conduit between our technology team and various business areas.

Ideally, you will have previous project experience and an understanding of Demand Shaping and Value Management.
We’d love to get to know you
