| Job Description: |
At Microsoft, we`re working toward a future where everyone`s potential can be fulfilled. What about yours? We offer opportunities around the world to make an impact with the next generation of technology we`re building today. We invite you to explore, dream big and learn more about what we can offer you.
The E&D division is one of the fastest growing within Microsoft and consists of such well known franchises as Xbox360,Halo, Zune, Age of Empires and many, many more. It sits in a strategic position within Microsoft where the Digital Lifestyle concept comes together and is marketed.
The Entertainment & Devices (E&D) Systems group in EMEA is looking for a dynamic and creative individual to join the team. Somebody who likes to roll their sleeves up, get stuck in and solve real world business problems.
The primary focus for the Systems team is to partner with Supply Chain to deliver innovative business solutions to prepare for the next wave of growth in the years ahead. This encompasses our internal ecosystem comprised of many vendors and partners and also our broader environment spanning our retail and end user channels across EMEA.
As a Solution Manager you will be the main point of contact, or liaison, between the E&D business and the E&D Systems group. You will act as a Lean Trusted Partner to the business and provide thought leadership in defining tool investment options and driving business collaboration across regions & streams. Translate business requirements for specific regions and/or business streams into functional requirements and related tools changes, facilitating their prioritization across E&D. Drive the implementation of multiple changes to cross-stream applications and SAP R/3, from requirements definition all the way through to go-live, serving as the business contact for all issues and coordinating the technical requirements with E&D Systems.
You will leverage technology when appropriate but will also work with Supply Chain stakeholders to drive process excellence across the end to end supply chain.
Of course one of the great advantages of working with Microsoft is the opportunities that present themselves to work on significant and, in many cases, paradigm shifting initiatives. You will be given the opportunity to collaborate extensively with colleagues in other regions on both regional and global initiatives.
