You understand different perspectives, recognize what really matters and have the confidence to challenge decisions when necessary. You don't need a formal reporting line to lead. People listen to you because you bring clarity, demonstrate good judgment and create an environment where others want to contribute. You're comfortable navigating complexity without making things unnecessarily complicated. You know when to push, when to listen and when to give people the space to find their own solutions. You combine a strong sense of ownership with empathy and understand that successful delivery depends just as much on people and relationships as it does on plans, budgets and milestones., * Bachelor or Master working and thinking level, combined with approximately 10 years of experience in senior IT delivery, transformation, portfolio or program leadership roles. * Demonstrated experience leading complex, cross-domain IT initiatives, preferably within Cloud & Infrastructure, Network or similarly demanding technology environments. * Strong understanding of delivery governance, roadmap planning, dependency management and execution across multiple teams and stakeholders. * Proven experience managing significant budgets, business cases, financial performance and benefits realization. * The ability to influence senior leadership, including executive stakeholders, and build alignment across business, technology and external partners. * Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex delivery challenges into clear insights, priorities and recommendations. * Experience providing functional leadership to multidisciplinary teams, developing delivery capabilities and driving results in a matrix organization. You will be our ideal candidate when… * You've worked in a complex technology environment where multiple teams, priorities and dependencies need to come together to deliver meaningful results. * Experience in telecommunications or large-scale IT and Network organization would be valuable, particularly if you're familiar with infrastructure modernization, operational dependencies and technology-driven transformation. * You understand that governance should enable progress rather than create unnecessary bureaucracy. * You can challenge senior stakeholders without creating resistance, make difficult trade-offs without losing sight of people and recognize when a team needs direction rather than another meeting. And perhaps most importantly… * You know how to create momentum without relying on hierarchy. You must already live in the Netherlands, preferably within ~50 km of The Hague, and you'll work at least 4 days per week from our Den Haag office. Even though we have many different colleagues, we look for a few typical Odido traits in every new team member. You need to be able to handle a changing organisation. The world of communications changes every day, and we need to grow along with it. Being naturally curious and interested in the technology we work with and the industry we're in helps enormously. ## Description You'll be responsible for driving delivery across our annual IT roadmap and Network-driven demand, ensuring that investments, priorities and execution contribute to meaningful business outcomes. Working closely with senior IT and Network leadership, Product Management and delivery professionals, you'll translate strategic priorities into realistic plans, align dependencies and ensure that progress is visible and measurable. Your influence extends across a matrix organization of approximately 100 professionals, including internal teams and external technology partners. Your key responsibilities * Translate strategy into delivery. Work with senior IT and Network stakeholders to turn business ambitions into clear roadmaps, investment priorities and achievable outcomes. * Lead complex, cross-domain initiatives. Coordinate delivery across multiple technology domains, particularly Cloud & Infrastructure, ensuring teams understand priorities, dependencies and expected results. * Create alignment and make choices. Bring together stakeholders with different interests, challenge competing priorities and help establish a shared direction. * Own delivery governance and financial performance. Oversee budgets, business cases, investment decisions and benefits realization, ensuring transparency and accountability. * Drive measurable business value. Monitor delivery performance, identify risks early and use data to support decisions that improve efficiency, time to market and customer experience. * Strengthen delivery capabilities. Guide and mentor delivery professionals encourage collaboration and contribute to their development in close partnership with the Delivery Chapter Lead. * Challenge and improve how we work. Identify opportunities to simplify processes, improve execution and create a culture of continuous improvement across teams and partners. The Team You'll join our IT Delivery organization, reporting directly to the Head of IT Delivery. You'll work closely with senior leaders across IT and Network, Product Management, delivery professionals and external technology partners. Your role provides functional leadership across a matrix organization of approximately 100 professionals. Delivery Leads remain formally managed by their Chapter Lead, with whom you'll collaborate on performance, capability development and professional growth. This is a highly collaborative leadership position with significant influence on Odido's annual delivery commitments and broader technology ambitions., Your growth path at Odido isn't fixed in advance, you can go in any direction, horizontally too. I get the chance to gain new knowledge across different finance domains and keep collecting new experiences. Here you truly chart your own route., That's possible temporarily under certain conditions: a maximum of 30 working days per 12 months, only within the EU (and a few designated countries), and with prior approval from your manager. Working from abroad on a long-term basis is not permitted. Yes, Odido offers learning opportunities and a personal development budget of up to €1,000 per year (pro-rated for part-time), to spend on relevant training in consultation with your manager. At Odido we work with a modern tech stack in which programming languages such as Java and Python and cloud solutions play an important role. The exact technologies vary by team and role, but the focus is on scalable, data-driven and future-proof solutions. At Odido we work hybrid. This means that as an IT specialist you work partly from home and partly in the office, depending on your role and activities. The guideline is that you are present in the office part of the week to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing, and you can work flexibly from a distance the rest of the time. Working fully remote is not the standard. For roles within Network Operations, an on-call or standby arrangement may be part of the position. This means you are available outside regular working hours on a rota basis to resolve incidents.
