Application Analyst

Join the new Heidelberg Materials Digital Hub Wroclaw and help build an international team that takes care of business applications used across our countries. You are the bridge between business users and IT: you keep applications running, users supported and rollouts on track.

At one of the world’s largest building materials companies, you’ll gain insight into logistics, manufacturing and finance, work with experts worldwide and learn by taking ownership of topics end to end. You’ll help bring fragmented local application support into a shared service that is scalable, professional and cost-efficient, improving service quality and consistency while reducing duplication.

Along the way, you’ll build the skills, network and track record to pursue opportunities in application management, business process management, digital transformation or technology-enabled operations—with the scale and variety of a global company opening up different career paths. e completed by Natalia YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE Run your application portfolio.
