Empowering Digital Innovation: Victoria Pemberton’s Journey at Greene King

At Greene King, we believe in delivering exceptional digital experiences to our customers. This philosophy is embodied by Victoria, our Digital Test Lead whose passion and expertise ensure that our digital platforms meet the highest standards of quality.

Victoria oversees a talented team of Digital Test Analysts who meticulously test and refine multiple platforms. From ideation to launch, they work tirelessly to identify and resolve any potential issues, leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of perfection. This rigorous approach guarantees that our customers can engage with our digital offerings seamlessly and intuitively.

Making Ideas Happen

As a woman in a traditionally male-dominated field, Victoria has faced her fair share of challenges. "I think the obvious and well-documented one would be men treating me, and other women, with a lack of respect with regards to the work we complete and the ability to complete that work as well as they can," she acknowledges. 

However, her unwavering determination and belief in her team's abilities have helped her overcome these obstacles time and time again. "I have always been, and will continue to be, a firm believer that if you are determined enough and put in the work, anyone can do anything. I try to do my best to instil this ethos into my team and hope that I can lead by example."

Victoria says her greatest source of inspiration comes from her two daughters. "They truly inspire me to be the best I can be," she says. "I want to show them that they can be strong women, they can have incredible careers, and they can drive themselves to whatever they want to be in the future."

To other women starting tech careers, Victoria has this sage advice: "Be yourself. Speak out when things don't feel fair, or you feel judged when there should be no judgement." 

Life at Greene King

At Greene King, Victoria and her team play a pivotal role raising the bar for our digital platforms.

While Victoria’s entry into the tech industry may have been serendipitous, her commitment to continuous learning and growth is unwavering. "Now, 20+ years later, I am still very much enjoying the work that I do and what I can help others with too," she says. 

"Having worked in testing and quality assurance for most of my career, I feel like I am able to now start giving back things I have learned to the rest of my team, alongside them teaching me. It's a great place to be."

"Greene King has a presence about it. When I say I work for Greene King to friends and family, I am proud to do so. The people within the company are second to none, I haven’t worked somewhere before where I have felt so at home and so personally invested in doing the very best that I can."
