Technical Application Manager

You will be responsible for websites, digital portals, pricing and calculation solutions, SaaS platforms, APIs, integrations and middleware components.

Acting as the link between business stakeholders, Product Owners, Solution Architects, internal IT teams and external partners, you will ensure that the applications meet business needs and remain stable, secure, compliant and future-ready.

This is a technical coordination and steering role. You will not develop applications yourself, but you will need a solid IT background to understand technical topics, assess risks, challenge suppliers and translate business requirements into sustainable solutions.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing the full lifecycle of the applications in your portfolio.
• Defining and maintaining the technical roadmap in line with business priorities and enterprise architecture.
• Ensuring application stability, availability, performance, security and compliance.
• Overseeing APIs, integrations and middleware services.
• Assessing the technical impact, risks and dependencies of new initiatives.
• Coordinating projects, testing, releases and application changes.
• Steering SaaS providers, implementation partners and other external suppliers.
• Monitoring service levels, incidents, KPIs and supplier performance.
• Supporting IAM, PAM and third-party risk-management processes.
• Maintaining clear and up-to-date application documentation.
• Identifying opportunities to improve performance, simplify processes and optimise costs.

• You have at least five years of relevant experience in application management, technical project management, service delivery or technical product management.
• You have worked with digital platforms, customer portals, SaaS solutions or other business-critical applications.
• You have a solid understanding of APIs, integrations, middleware and cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure.
• You can translate business needs into sustainable technical solutions and confidently challenge external service providers.
• You understand application lifecycle management, IT service management, security and compliance requirements.
• You are proactive, structured and highly organised, with a strong sense of ownership and the ability to work independently.

Experience in automotive finance, leasing, fleet management, banking, insurance or another regulated environment is an advantage. You are fluent in English and have a professional level of Dutch or French; knowledge of all three languages is a plus.

• A role with a high level of autonomy and visible business impact.
• The opportunity to shape the future of important digital platforms.
• An attractive salary package with additional benefits.
• A company car and fuel or charging card.
• A hybrid working model with three days at the Kortenberg headquarters and two days working from home.
• Development opportunities within a leading Belgian automotive and mobility group.
