Job Description


At DK Technology, we are looking for a Digital Workspace Assistant to support the day-to-day running of our core digital tools and help deliver a seamless employee experience. This is an opportunity for someone to build their career in technology, gain exposure across DK UK and our global teams, and develop a strong understanding of how digital systems support publishing.

 

Working closely with the Senior Digital Workspace Manager, you will help support key workplace platforms, assist with digital projects, and contribute to the ongoing improvement of the tools and processes that colleagues rely on every day. From troubleshooting user queries to supporting system updates and user adoption, this role is central to helping DK Technology deliver practical, reliable solutions that keep the business moving.

 

In This Role

You will also be a strong communicator, able to explain technical information clearly, manage your workload carefully, and build positive relationships with colleagues and suppliers.
