You’ll play an important role in:

• planning and negotiating renewals and additional purchases in relation to the contractual engagement with the major IT vendors

• participating in the optimisation of our collaboration across internal stakeholders and contractual engagement with our vendors

• establishing strong relations with internal and external stakeholders relevant to the realisation of our digital ambitions

• participating in negotiations of large IT agreements in relation to the hyper-scalers and other mayor IT vendors
