About us
Maginus have been offering solutions to our customers for nearly 50 years. In 2019, an exciting chapter in in story commenced as part of being acquired and merged with Digital Foodie from Finland. The combined organisation is Naveo Commerce, and it offers solutions to support retailers in both the grocery and non-grocery markets. Naveo is an international organisation. This role will be centred around our UK operations, specifically within the Professional Services team. As such, you’ll be involved in helping to deliver projects to new clients, as well as supporting enhancements to existing customers.
In the UK, we deliver a variety of different solutions, including Adobe Magento, Episerver (Optimizely), Microsoft Dynamics and our own Maginus OMS product. Most of this role will be focused around the Magento and Episerver products, although working with other products will form part of the role. In the future, there will also be opportunity to get involved in the Grocery-centred solution. Alongside the suite of functional products we implement, there are also a number of tools we use for integrating those packages together (and with our clients’ other business systems).
The broad spectrum of products, business markets and countries Naveo work with means this role offers an exciting opportunity, with plenty of scope for gaining new skills and experience.
