Sarah James, People & Operations Manager
I am the People and Operations Manager at Savient Limited, since joining the team in November 2020 I support our dedicated and professional team of software consultants, engineers, testers, and operational staff on their employee journey. Operating in the cyber tech community in Cheltenham we help businesses to solve problems and transform software delivery in some of the world’s leading science, technology, and engineering organisations. I passionately shared the importance of my role to continually improve employee engagement and champion a positive culture while focusing on excellent customer service and recruiting new members to the team.
I have a desire to deliver a successful corporate social responsibility and wellbeing strategy for the company. I have helped Savient to achieve our silver CSR accreditation, as well as International CSR status and environmental green awards. The accreditation has shown how we have integrated social responsibility initiatives through our business operations and investing in social values as an essential part of our organisation culture. I have a passion to support our future generation and often attending outreach events in local educational providers and volunteer as a STEM ambassador and School Enterprise Advisor. We currently have three T level students from Cirencester college completing their industry placement work experience each Thursday and have employed our first two apprentice software engineers in recent months so trying to encourage more into an IT and STEM career and the opportunities Savient Limited can provide to keen and enthusiastic people.
