A great opportunity to use your experience and talent as a Frontend Developer and an advocate of fabulous consumer interfaces and become part of a ground-breaking team that is looking to shake up how consumer lifestyle technology products are sold.
Launched in 2021 Situ Live has ambitions to become a first-choice destination to discover and choose the latest and best innovation products designed to make life better.
We will be showcasing the ultra-cool new brands shoppers don't know alongside the big brands they do. A blend of online and physical retailing: Our live experiential showroom in Westfield London brings some of the magic of theatre to how we shop for lifestyle technology products.
Our presenters bring products to life with live storytelling and live streamed content whilst our knowledgeable advisors help shoppers understand the products better and guide them to the best places to buy online.
Our digital platform manages and presents product information across our catalogue of entertainment, home, work, communications, wellness, sport, travel and more. Our easy-to-use digital shopping content and tools take the stress out of choosing what’s right for shoppers. We then connect shoppers to their favourite places they can buy the product.
