Technical Application Manager - The Hague / Hybrid - 32-40h

As a Technical Application Administrator, you will be responsible for the technical management of a broad range of applications. That variety is exactly what appeals to you. Every application is different, and you enjoy the challenge of quickly familiarising yourself with new systems and technologies.

Some applications are fully managed by TNO Information Services, while others are partly managed in collaboration with external vendors. This means that, in addition to continuously expanding your own technical knowledge, you must also be able to act as a capable technical counterpart in discussions with suppliers and partners.

On a daily basis, you will monitor applications to proactively identify and resolve potential issues where possible. At the same time, troubleshooting will also be a regular part of your work. When technical issues or user questions arise, you will be consulted to investigate the root cause. You will analyse problems, implement quick fixes where necessary, and work towards sustainable long-term solutions. You will also communicate clearly with stakeholders such as the service desk, fellow application administrators, and external vendors.

Do you have experience in Microsoft Excel?, * Higher professional education (HBO) level of working and thinking.

• At least 3 years of experience as a Technical Application Administrator in a large and complex environment.

• A high degree of independence, particularly when it comes to acquiring new knowledge.
