Role Summary

Drive Complex IT Solutions as a Solution & Process Designer

IT Solution & Process Design is the key enabler for complex, cross-product IT solutions. In this role, you’ll drive the team transforming big-picture requirements—often called Epics—into clear concepts and actionable designs. You’ll define how processes run across multiple IT products, ensuring seamless integration and execution providing expertise in the Order Management Solutions (OMS) area.

Your mission? Break down complexity, define requirements, and guide IT Product Management to configure or build the capabilities needed.

As Manager you are part of the team that delivers a complete, working solution to the Order Management Teams.
