Yet another time we search for extraordinary specialists to join our nerdy crew! :)
Project for a big retail corporation in Norway (12k employees) with stores across entire Europe.
You’ll be working closely with business people (including ex-McKinsey partner with 20 years of business experience; Harvard graduate), IT specialists (SE architects, DevOps, UI/UX people), marketing/sales department, Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence professionals, QA, logistics department and product manager to design, prioritize, and build new IT products in fashion, retail/e-commerce sectors related to a digital transformation that is happening in the organization.
One of the most important products that will need to be built is a new e-commerce platform (think: Zalando competitor) as well as information/data exchange platform for physical stores and IT tools for supply chain optimization.
The role is a fast-paced environment that involves an above-average degree of tech & business conceptual thinking, swiftness, communication & people skills and e-commerce/retail understanding. Ideal candidate can present a work history for well-known brands, some startup world experience (we’re lean and move quickly), min 2 years of similar commercial experience on a similar position.
