Your role in the team

  • You assume overall technical responsibility for domain-specific, mission-critical applications (e.g., Procurement, Legal and Compliance, Reporting, Collaboration) throughout their entire lifecycle - from selection and implementation/transition to operation.
  • You assess requirements together with the specialist departments and derive the target architecture based on 'SaaS-first' or MSP options.
  • You plan and manage the implementation, cutover, and hypercare phases, ensuring a clear handover to operations (roles, processes, support channels).
  • You ensure the integration into the existing IT landscape (e.g., SSO/IAM, interfaces, data flows, role and permission concepts, as well as technical documentation) — in compliance with technical and security-related guidelines and in accordance with the Cloud-First strategy.
  • You implement Security and Compliance by Design and embed these sustainably (e.g., GDPR-compliant processing, audit trails, logging, recertifications) in close collaboration with Information Security.
  • You manage external providers and internal stakeholders, take charge of SLA/KPI management, and drive continuous improvement of the services (stability, performance, user experience).
  • You establish and operate ITSM-based processes (Incident, Problem, Change), including escalation management and sustainable root cause analysis.
  • You are responsible for release management and further development in coordination with the specialist departments (backlog/prioritization) as well as the coordination of testing and approvals.

Our expectations of you

Education

  • You have a completed degree in (Business) Informatics, IT-related Business Administration, or a comparable qualification with relevant practical experience.

Qualifications

  • You have excellent knowledge in Identity and Access Management as well as SSO (preferably OIDC, and SAML depending on the SaaS) including integration with central Identity Providers - ideally Microsoft Entra ID.
  • You work confidently with specialist departments and external service providers - from management through clear communication to structured documentation - and handle tools like ServiceNow, Jira, and Confluence or comparable solutions effectively.
  • You demonstrate a high level of initiative and execution strength, working constructively, team-oriented, with humor and joy in your work.
  • You have very good English skills.

Experience

  • You have several years of experience in the technical support of business applications in SaaS and/or MSP environments, from implementation/transition to operations.
  • You have experience with integration topics (APIs, interfaces, data flows) as well as with operational fundamentals such as monitoring/alerting and traceable logging.
  • You implement security and compliance requirements pragmatically, ideally with experience in regulated environments (e.g., GDPR, GoBD).
