Job description

People 2.0 is an international organisation where people, technology and services come together to make the world of flexible work a little better every day.

Do you enjoy figuring out how systems and processes work? Does solving complex problems energise you, and do you often see ways to make things smarter, simpler or more efficient?

People20 is looking for an AFAS Application Manager to help manage, optimise and further develop our AFAS environment.

Whether you already have AFAS experience or want to develop in this area, we are mainly looking for someone with analytical ability, curiosity, initiative and a drive to improve.

In this role you work at the intersection of IT, business processes and people. You translate the organisation's needs into practical solutions, improve processes and make sure AFAS fits what the organisation needs.

Depending on your knowledge and experience, the role can be filled at Junior, Medior or Senior level.

What will you do?

As an AFAS Application Manager, depending on your level, you will, among other things:

• Manage, maintain and continuously improve our AFAS environment.
• Analyse the organisation's needs and translate them into effective solutions within AFAS.
• Spot opportunities to simplify, automate and optimise processes.
• Analyse problems, find root causes and deliver lasting solutions.
• Support users and colleagues with functional questions and system-related challenges.
• Work with various departments to understand their processes, wishes and needs.
• Contribute to the quality, reliability and efficiency of our systems and processes.
• Identify improvements yourself and take responsibility for delivering them.

At Medior and Senior level you take on more responsibility for complex improvements, advise stakeholders and contribute to the further development of our AFAS landscape.

Who are we looking for?

You don't need to tick every box. Above all, we value your analytical mindset, curiosity and motivation to learn.

You:

• Have strong analytical and numerical skills.
• Think logically and enjoy solving complex problems.
• Are proactive and work well independently.
• Have an affinity with IT, software systems and business processes.
• Work accurately, in a structured way and with a focus on solutions.
• Find it interesting to discover connections between different processes and spot opportunities for improvement.
• Have good communication skills and know how to connect people and departments.
• Have a good command of English, both spoken and written.
• Have a relevant education or comparable experience. Your specific level of education matters less to us than your skills, potential and motivation.
• Preferably have experience with AFAS, but this is not a strict requirement.
• Have experience with or knowledge of payroll administration, HR and/or financial processes.

What do we offer?

• A position of 32–40 hours per week.
• Hybrid working, combining working from home with working from our office in Amsterdam.
• A modern workplace on Arena Boulevard in Amsterdam.
• Plenty of room to contribute your own ideas and actually put them into practice.
• The opportunity to further develop your AFAS knowledge and grow within the role.
• A role in which you directly influence how smart and efficient our business processes are.

Interested?

Does the combination of technology, analytical thinking and business processes energise you? And are you looking for a role where you can see the results of your improvements in the organisation?

Then we would love to meet you.
