We are Global

At Global, we think big, work hard, and never stand still. We're the proud home of media and entertainment, driven by our talented and passionate people. Our mission is to make everyone's day brighter — our Globallers, our audiences, our partners, and our communities.

We're looking for a highly skilled Data Engineer who’ll help us to build and operate large-scale data pipelines that are capable of withstanding our growth and ambitions.

The Role

As a Junior Application Support Analyst, you’ll support day-to-day operations across systems such as CRM, Planning and Fulfilment, with some exposure to Broadcasting systems. You’ll work closely with senior analysts, product teams, and end users to help resolve issues, document solutions, and ensure systems are running smoothly.

If you enjoy problem-solving, helping people, and working in a collaborative, fast-paced environment — we’d love to hear from you.

Continuous Improvement & Collaboration (20%)

• Work with Product and Engineering teams to share recurring issues and support root cause analysis.

User Support & Best Practice (5%)

• Provide clear and friendly support to system users.
• Follow established procedures to identify causes of issues and apply appropriate fixes.
  
  

What You’ll Love About This Role

• Own It: Take responsibility for resolving issues and supporting users from start to finish (with guidance).
