About the Business
ATOM Supplies Ltd is a small but rapidly growing group of companies based in Tunbridge wells. We operate in two distinct markets - online retail through
www.masterofmalt.com and Business Intelligence Consultancy through
www.atominsight.com.
The culture here is one of hard work, hard liquor, and great fun. It’s a creative, driven, fast-paced, informal place to work - you can turn up in fancy dress for all we care, as long as you deliver results, but it must be creative fancy dress. No buying a black suit and saying you’re Vince out of Reservoir Dogs. That’s a poor effort.
With a relatively small workforce everyone is given big responsibility and trust. This means you can be a real driving force for us.
Master of Malt is an award-winning international online spirits and drinks retailer, and the brand has been in business for over 25 years and currently has a range covering thousands of single malts and other fine spirits. Now, I know what you’re thinking: ‘The Christmas party… it must be epic!” You are correct in your assertion; the Christmas party is indeed epic.
But like Bachman Turner Overdrive, we take care of business, and Atom Insight has an impressive and ever-growing list of clients including Barclays Bank, RBS, Zurich and Tesco. Atom Insight delivers technical and strategic projects for its clients to help improve business efficiency, increase return on marketing investment and to better understand their customer base. Fortunately we employ some very clever people who do that so you won’t have to.
This is what you will have to do:
