Your mission
As the Head of Corporate IT, your strategic leadership will guide a global function, specifically overseeing the Tech Business Partnering program across all 1KOMMA5 markets and hubs. A key contribution will be ensuring that the Tech Business Partners are deeply integrated into market operations, serving as essential, strategic technology counterparts to local leadership and stakeholders.
