Join Dunnhumby recruiters for a hands-on activity and look into the type of work this great company does. The Receipt Activity will:

We help companies put customers at the center of every decision by using our insight to improve customers' retail and brand experience to earn their lifetime loyalty. This strategic approach to putting the customer first in business improves our clients' like-for-like sales and profit margins - or, put simply, grows measurable value. All our work starts with information. We primarily use sources that reflect behavior, such as transaction and loyalty cards but also overlay research, media and online data. We then turn this information into data insights that tell us what action to take. We personalize the experience by enabling our clients to deliver a more relevant offering to each customer, both in communications and in the retail environment, on and offline. This helps our clients demonstrate their loyalty to their customers. We believe our company offers a different way of thinking and a better way to work.
