Head of B2B Digital Services Competence Delivery Center Austria

As a leading communications provider in the CEE region, A1 Group offers products and services in the areas of voice telephony, broadband Internet, mobile and home entertainment as well as smart home, data and IT solutions, wholesale, payment solutions and digital services.

A key element of our Strategy is the expansion of our B2B Digital (formerly: ICT) services. We believe that by building on our asset of having a local presence, we can support our customers in their own digitalization journey that goes beyond connectivity. We want to significantly grow this business in the coming years, and we believe that to achieve this growth, we need to combine our delivery capabilities and make them available to all markets.

This is why we will consolidate all ICT delivery teams into one combined organization, which will consist of existing teams but also will hire additional people in the future. The setup will be similar to the already existing Competence Delivery Center.

To start this transition, we are in a first step looking for a person to lead the future B2B Digital Delivery Center. This person will then work together with us on further details of the future setup.

• You run a Project Delivery Unit that delivers with market leading customer satisfaction and operates the services with high efficiency.
• You ensure that Product Development is flexible enough to meet local (customer) needs and at the same time standardized enough to enable efficient delivery that can be replicated in other projects.
• You also lead a Platform Development team that builds and operates a common Engagement Platform.
• You set up the necessary governance and operations processes for your unit, finding the right balance between needed governance and avoiding unnecessary bureaucracy.
• You shape the development of this new organization together with Group and local stakeholders and work out an initial setup as well as a roadmap and drive their implementation.

• Significant (at least 10 years) experience in the IT, ICT, or Telco industry, ideally in a Customer Delivery and/or Sales Management role
