Employment

(Fulltime, 38u)

“To join our IT department within the Team Business Applications, we are hiring a junior-medior application specialist, to help us manage and develop a specific application related to life cycle of products. The Applications Analyst PLM reports to the Manager Business Applications and has a full time position at our International Head office. Our Application Analyst understands more than just the functional aspects of the PLM application, but also knows how it fits in the business processes of Action.”

Responsibilities

The Application Analyst is a member of the Team Business Applications. In this role you will design and implement functionality in the PLM application to support the business processes of Action, while overseeing the impact on other systems.

The main focus of this job lies within Functional Application Management (FAM) and the translation of business requirements into application requirements. This means analysing the impact of changes in business processes and seeing what it means for system functionalities. When managing the resulting change requests, it is important to make sure that these changes are realized successfully, either via colleagues or by your own action. Therefore, defining what a solution would look like and formulating implementation strategies is also key. Sometimes this also means acting as a test coordinator after delivery, so as to ensure smooth implementation.

Furthermore, the Application Analyst is responsible for the alignment of business needs and priorities with team members. You will ensure that all necessary documentation is in place, by aligning with business users regarding test- and training requirements. You understand business priorities and you are able to translate these to functional enhancements. The Analyst will sometimes have to act as a Project Manager as well, communicating on conflicting priorities and organizing alternatives if necessary. This also entails the ability of determining whether or not implementation through standard software is feasible. You know exactly how to minimize the impact, if deviation from the standard is required. You also understand the limit, in terms of not deploying a new functionality to production if the functionality turns out not be fit for purpose.

Who are you?

An Application Analyst with Action has knowledge of Retail and all the business processes within the functional area, in addition to extensive experience with relevant PLM applications and FAM. You are self-confident and show leadership by motivating application specialists and business process owners. This also means strong communication skills on a business level. Throughout your work you are organized, sticking to agreed deadlines and guidelines is no problem for you. You are result-driven and demonstrate a high level of pragmatism. Time pressure doesn’t bother you, and you work effectively on your own as well as in a team.

Furthermore you have:

  • Master’s degree
  • 3+ years’ experience in similar roles
  • 5+ years’ experience in IT
  • Excellent command of English (knowledge of French/German is a plus)

Action’s value proposition is to offer more than expected, which isn’t limited to surprising customers, but employees as well. Action is one of the most rapidly growing retailers and such expansion brings all kinds of unique challenges to our unique and dynamic environment, as well as opportunities for career growth.
