Job description

Summary: We are hiring a Global Configuration Lead (x-one) to bridge the gap between global IT product development and local market deployment. You will own the technical impact analysis, sandbox management, and cross-functional orchestration to ensure our global Salesforce and CMS core solutions seamlessly adapt to local market and compliance requirements.

Important Note: This is an Internal Governance, Architecture, and Configuration role. It is NOT a software engineering/hard-core coding position, nor is it a functional market-facing training role.

Working Conditions

  • Location: Netherlands or CET timezone - fulltime
  • Travel Requirements: Occasional global travel may be required to work hands-on with local market teams during early-stage rollouts.

What critical problem will this hire solve?

As Randstad consolidates its digital capabilities into the x-one ecosystem, our global functional product changes frequently collide with diverse local compliance and legislative rules. While Jose and Anna focus on functional, market-facing workshops, you will be the internal technical engine. You will perform technical impact analysis from the product side, configure dependencies on-platform, manage sandbox environments, and connect the dots horizontally across 12 separate vertical IT leads.

What will you achieve in this role?

  • Architect Configuration Safeguards: Dissect complex technical/functional documentation from Product Owners and translate them into standardized, practical configuration structures.
  • Manage Sandbox & Deployments: Own the technical blueprint and execute configurations for complex Salesforce environments and CMS-driven portals.
  • Orchestrate Cross-Functional Dots: Act as the "interpreter" between global compliance (data protection, legal, security) and vertical product teams, ensuring critical safety guardrails flow naturally down to local market peers.

Requirements

  • Salesforce or CMS Mastery: Deep experience working directly on-platform as a Salesforce Administrator (Salesforce certifications are a major plus) OR hands-on mastery of software configuration via enterprise Content Management Systems (CMS).
  • Systems Architecture & PM Balance: 7-10 years of experience in global enterprise systems architecture, configuration governance, or large-scale IT process/project management.
  • Modern Collaboration Tooling: High proficiency navigating Agile methodologies via Jira, Confluence, and Google Workspace.
  • Interpersonal Translation: Strong stakeholder management skills to confidently push back on, guide, or align senior leaders across siloed business segments.

Why should an internal Randstad colleague apply?

  • Rare Skill Visibility: Salesforce on platform experience (certified is a plus) and complex CMS governance skills .This role places your niche expertise on a global stage.
  • Direct Leadership Access: You will report directly to Global Validation Lead, joining a supportive, highly integrated team.
  • A True Talent Homebase: As part of the Talent & Expertise Group (TEG) within Global IT, your personal growth, Great Conversations, and career training are explicitly managed by a dedicated Community of Practice.
