Job Description

We are looking for a seasoned IT Applications Director to join our team. Reporting directly to the group CIO, your mission will be to bring our IS landscape to new heights !

Here Is What To Expect In This Role

In your first 6 months, you will establish foundations for internal Applications activity: reinforce teams, collaborate with HR and Finance to understand business & existing operating models, streamline end-to-end processes (hire-to-retire, Procure-to-Pay, Lead-to-Cash), clean data, and simplify our workflows in Netsuite & SAP SuccessFactors. Revamping our foundations will also be the right time to re-challenge the status quo and deploy POC to find new ways of implementing core processes. This phase will be considered a success if meaningful KPIs are defined, implemented and monitored for each key functional domain.
During your next 6-18 months, you will drive the framing, strategy and execution of our newly designed IS landscape. Your objective? Setup futureproof integrated capabilities that maximize internal efficiency and let our engineering workforce focus on business-specific matters. This will be a unique opportunity to rebalance in-house development vs off-the shelves components, rethink our overall architecture and structure a platform approach.
After 18 months, the next phase will focus on scaling and optimizing the IS landscape through key application integrations, improved user experience, and continuous innovation. The goal is to achieve seamless data flow, improve responsiveness to business needs, and empower functional teams with optimal systems and features.

Qualifications

If you are a strategic thinker, with a passion for details and a proven track record in IT applications management, we invite you to join our dynamic team.

To Be Successful In This Role, You Should Have

At least 8 years of experience in IT Applications, with a minimum of 3 years in a management role.
Proven experience in managing large-scale application projects, with at least a successful deployment of a global ERP (Core Model)
Strong understanding of business processes and how applications can enhance business performance.
Proficiency in IT, including ERPs (SAP, Netsuite, Workday) but also API and JSON.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot complex issues.
