  • Propose initiatives for the IT portfolio to maintain a state-of-the-art IT architecture.

The role requires a broad understanding of modern technologies and the ability to imagine these technologies in a business context. Therefore, it is imperative that you stay up to date on the latest technologies and trends and demonstrate a passion for business efficiency.
