Demand Manager Technology in Amsterdam

Can you make the best affordable technology plan for your Technology Domains?

This is what you do for our customer
The Demand Management Team – professionals from diverse international backgrounds and ages – needs a Demand Manager with experience and technical background, ideally in IP & Transport, to replace a colleague who moves into a new role at VodafoneZiggo. You will be part of the Technology Demand management team creating the Technology 5 year plan and budget for your domains in numbers, and explaining the components we plan to deploy. This plan is what the Technology organization designs, deploys, and runs for our customers.

This is how you do it

• You interact with business stakeholders and technology experts in several domains to understand, and challenge, the demand to be fulfilled in this area.
• You balance business and technology demand with available budgets, to optimise the quality that we deliver to our customers, while keeping budget restrictions into account.
• Your initial area of expertise ideally would be IP & Transport for Mobile & Fixed, IP services and/or Common Infrastructure & Cloud, or potentially you are eager to develop in these domains.
• You help set the vision and roadmap to prioritise our investments and develop the company and its technology towards the future – we typically plan five years ahead in numbers, more in vision.
• You create the Technology Evolution Plan and LRP in strong interaction with many experts and stakeholders.
• The first year of the plan becomes the budget for the next year, together with the lead engineer/architect and deploy manager you start up these projects and follow them through completion. This way you ensure the plan gets implemented.

The team works in close relation with the other Technology units and Finance/Business Control. Demand Managers support in making the plans in the various Technology units and create the multi-year Technology Evolution Plan (TEP) with related investments - which should also lead to reduce OPEX. The yearly updates of the TEP result from collaboration of Technology Managers and Demand managers, who involve from the units the responsible team managers, architects, engineers, and whoever needs to contribute.

You strengthen…

…the Technology Planning & Demand Management team - we explore future technology trends, analyse customer satisfaction and performance data, and drive the creation of the Technology LRP and Technology Evolution Plan (TEP). We look at the business needs and growth trends, and at present and future technologies. We work with architects and engineers in Fixed and Mobile networks and IT to create the best possible technology plans, which must fit in the financial reality of VodafoneZiggo. The team is based in Amsterdam, Maastricht and frequently meet at Central Office in Utrecht. You will be based in Maastricht or Amsterdam. You will work closely with (and report to) the Manager Demand Management Daan Alberga.
