Team Leader Business Applications 80-100%

For our ICT and Infrastructure department, we are looking for a Team Leader Business Applications 80 - 100 %.

Do you want IT that not only runs smoothly but also noticeably advances the business – and do you enjoy taking on responsibility? Then this role could be perfect for you.

In this position, you lead a small, motivated team and are the central hub between IT, service areas, as well as internal and external partners. Together, you ensure high-quality maintenance of our business applications and consistently develop them further. At the same time, you actively drive automation and digitalization and take on the management of important IT projects – from the initial idea to successful completion. You work closely with the central group ICT and ensure that local requirements are optimally aligned with group-wide standards and services.

You think customer-oriented, communicate clearly and understandably – even to non-IT people – and keep an overview even when things get hectic. With your analytical, structured, and at the same time pragmatic approach, you actively contribute operationally, gladly take on responsibility, and shape a modern team culture where collaboration, openness, and willingness to change are lived.

• Organization of training sessions as well as creation and maintenance of IT documentation
