Technology Graduate Scheme

ITVX is right at the heart of our More than TV strategy. After the successful launch in Q4 2022, we are now building on this. We are always improving the experience and content available to our viewers with new features, new products and innovation. 

This graduate scheme is a unique 2 year opportunity, with placements in leading technology disciplines across diverse teams. You’ll get the best training possible, on the job learning, supporting individual projects and exposure across all areas of technology to ensure that you have a rounded foundation for a career in media technology.

We enjoy what we do - innovating with technology, working with different teams, solving problems and constantly improving. If you have a passion for technology, media, and learning, then look no further!

The Role

This is one of the most diverse technology graduate schemes in the industry. 

Over 24 months, you will work closely with different ITV technology departments. From our award-winning streaming service, to our broadcast and studios areas, and key functions including cloud hosting, finance, networks and cybersecurity. 

You will get wide exposure to a number of different roles and teams throughout your time with ITV. You can read more about what a week in the life of our Technology Graduates is like.

You will gain key skills in:

• software development
• product and project management
• video engineering
• data science
• cyber security
• dev-ops and cloud

all within an exciting creative media environment!

All of our Technology Graduates have a similar structure. 

In the first year you’ll spend time working within each of the business areas, attend structured training in a development language (Scala, Java or front-end) and do an extended placement with one of our software engineering teams.  

What makes our graduate programme unique is that in your second year, we’ll put together a combination of placements, projects and learning that focus your development into a career specialism, and empower you to work towards a long term career at ITV. If you find that you have a passion for a particular area within technology, we’ll do our best to make sure you get to experience working in that area.

Video is exploding in all industries from marketing, social media and content production, to medical training in remote locations - and this makes ITV well placed to support you on your journey in this growing domain. There is no better place to get this experience than working with a vibrant industry of tech companies, media networks and agencies. So what are you waiting for?
