Our focus is all about unlocking that potential, driving value for our consumers,customers, employees, and shareholders.

JOB PURPOSE:

Together with your colleagues from the Make Tech branch of the DSC team, you will be responsible for project management, and in some cases also execution, of all digital developments in Make (Manufacturing, Engineering, SSHE). SC business will contact you with development requests, and you will assess, based on your deep knowledge of both SC Make and IT (available data, data lake structure, solution integration, current project pipeline, D&A capabilities, etc.) whether a request is feasible at this moment. Together with your direct colleagues from Make Tech, your SC business colleagues, and colleagues from IT (enterprise architecture, enterprise solutions, data & analytics) you make business cases for suitable projects.

• Based on your end-to-end overview of SC Make technology, and based on strong knowledge of both IT systems and industry state-of-the-art, you will collaborate with SC Make business teams and Excellence teams to continuously bring improvements to the Ice Cream Company's SC Make capabilities.
• You will be the face towards the business for all SC Make Tech requests.
• You will help give the DSC Make Tech team a strong identity and make it top-of-mind for all in SC (both global and regional/local) as the team to contact for all Make technology requests.
