- Full time
In a world with limited natural resources and a growing population, the demand for food is constantly rising. Our purpose of Feeding the Future poses an incredibly complex challenge, which could not be overcome without the help of powerful software, including our ERP solution, M3. As Business Application Specialist, you can actively contribute to our purpose of Feeding the Future by maintaining and improving the digital infrastructure of our organisation.
If you are an expert in Business Application development, management, and configuration and have significant experience with the M3 cloud solution, this is the job for you!
Our well-established Nutreco Competence Centre is currently 70 members strong and spread out all over the world, with Specialists located in North- and South America, Asia, Europe, and Australia.

As Business Application Specialist, you will often be included in projects (usually 3-9 months) to offer guidance and support to the project team. While you will be in contact with the other Business Application Specialists at least once a week, you will generally work even more closely with the project teams, answering configuration-, and process-related questions on a daily basis.
Additionally, project related work often entails international travel to a specific site (e.g., in case of a new factory set-up), which provides a great opportunity to visit a variety of countries and locations. During your participation in a project, you will be reporting to both the Process Information Manager Sales and the Project Manager.

- Staff projects and manage / steer project management
