- Implement and continuously enhance planning solutions with the o9 planning platform across finance, demand, product, and supply planning.
- Ensure stable operations of planning systems, including incident and problem management, release and change management, and performance optimization.
- Drive data integration and data quality across ERP, PLM, and our Data Platform.
- Manage IT projects and rollouts in the planning domain, from business case and design through implementation, testing, training, and hypercare.
- Collaborate with Enterprise Architecture and other IT domains (e.g. ERP, PLM, Analytics) to ensure a consistent and future-proof architecture.
