You will manage technical documentation, conduct regression testing, and oversee the knowledge transfer process to ensure service continuity. With a strategic eye on compliance, security, and budgeting, the role also involves monitoring license requirements, tracking deployment KPIs, and providing expertise during vendor contract renegotiations or technical auditing phases.

• Application Operability & Knowledge Governance: Maintain up-to-date documentation bases, including inter-application flows and functional test cases, while organizing cross-functional follow-up meetings to anticipate software obsolescence and legal non-compliance.
• Deployment Coordination & Vendor Relations: Lead or contribute to application rollouts, define implementation procedures, verify target platform operational readiness, and manage related procurement requests, deployment KPIs, and invoicing verification.
• Financial & Functional Expertise Contribution: Provide technical and operational insights for budget forecasting, license maintenance, project cost estimates, and vendor SLA negotiations, while handling exceptional technical requests like specialized data extractions.

Requirements

• Technical Frameworks & Tooling Proficiency: Solid expertise in ITIL processes, quality assurance methodologies, and ticketing platforms, alongside familiarity with application management, test management, document management, and DevOps environments.
• Operational & Financial Acumen: Proven knowledge of basic IT architecture, functional business applications, and budgeting/forecasting processes within an international corporate environment.
• Collaborative & Multicultural Mindset: Strong interpersonal skills with a distinct customer-service orientation, the ability to prioritize tasks across diverse departments, and a track record of working autonomously within large, multicultural teams.
• Language Skills: Mandatory proficiency in French and professional fluency in English (both written and spoken) to seamlessly interact with worldwide stakeholders.
