How do you matter?

What does your day look like?

No day is the same, but here is an example of how things could go.

At the start of the day you will contact the delivery manager to discuss the current contract negotiations. This results in actions that you must take this week with the internal organization and contract partners. You will then have a meeting with colleagues to jointly shape the further development of the management organization. Here you make a proposal for how we, as a management organization, deal with contracts from the IT partners. You will then have an appointment with an IT partner to discuss and comment on the proposal. After lunch you drive home to quietly review a number of contracts and provide comments.

What do we do for you?
