Digital Product Manager - Bupa Global

Job Description:

All internal applicants must have successfully completed their probation period (length of probation period is region dependant) before being able to apply for another role within the Bupa business.  The expectation is that all internal applicants complete their induction, any extended training programme and have been in role for a minimum of 6-12 months (post probation period), before applying for another role internally.  This allows time, post-probation, for employees to have made a contribution to the area of the business that originally recruited them.  Any exceptions to these guidelines will be made according to business need and will be approved by the Head of Department.   Internal applicants must inform their manager of their intention to apply for another role within Bupa.

Guidelines for applying for further internal roles, thereafter, will be dependent on business need and a conversation for the future between employee and manager. Standard practice will be for employees to be in any further role for a minimum of 12 months, in order to develop skills and experience, before applying for their next position within Bupa Global or the wider Bupa business.

About The Company

Bupa’s purpose is longer, healthier, happier lives.

As a leading global health and care company, we offer health insurance, medical subscription and other health and care funding products; we run care homes, retirement and care villages, primary care, diagnostic and wellness centres, hospitals and dental clinics. We also provide workplace health services, home healthcare, health assessments and long-term condition management services. We have 32M customers globally. With no shareholders, we invest our profits to provide more and better healthcare and fulfil our purpose. We employ 86,000 people, principally in the UK, Australia, Spain, Poland, New Zealand and Chile, as well as Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, India, and the USA.

We have grown significantly, particularly through 2013 to 2015, when we accelerated execution of our strategic vision. We are similar in revenue and profit to Marks & Spencer, and larger than Heinz in revenue. Because Bupa does not have shareholders it does not have a listing, but if it did it would be in the FTSE 100. Bupa is not a mutual or a charity but a company limited by guarantee that seeks to maximise its profits in order to fulfil its purpose. With customers in virtually every country in the world and 70% of its revenues now generated outside the UK, Bupa is a truly international organisation.
 

Bupa's Strategic Framework

Our strategy has three pillars: Customers, People, Performance. It puts our customers front and centre in the context of today’s digital age. As a service organisation, everything we do for our customers relies on our people and partners, so being a place where people love to work is critical to our success. This, combined with disciplined risk and capital management, is how we will deliver strong and sustainable performance.  We are looking for individuals who share in our values and this strategy, and are capable of delivering outstanding results for the business.
