• Automation using N8N and agentic AI: supporting process automation initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

• Structure and refine functional requirements and acceptance criteria; produce clear specifications and user stories.
• Map current and target processes and information flows; identify impacts on systems, interfaces, and data.
• Coordinate governance steps: prepare inputs for legal/compliance and architecture board, complete mandatory templates, and follow up on approvals.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, QA, operations, and stakeholders to balance value, quality and speed.
• Provide second-line incident support: perform root-cause analysis, prioritize, coordinate with teams, and document corrective/preventive actions.
• Contribute to agile ceremonies and continuous improvement of ways of working.
• For automation use cases: help assess feasibility, dependencies, risks, and integration patterns (e.g., API use).

Required Experience

• Basic understanding of integrations and APIs (REST/SOAP) and data flows; able to ask the right questions about interfaces and dependencies.
• Familiar with basics of SDLC and Agile/DevOps ways of working.
• Practical experience with Confluence and Jira (or other relevant software) for documentation and backlog management.
• Strong affinity with IT and troubleshooting for second-line incidents; root-cause mindset and solution orientation.
• Interest in workflow automation (e.g., N8N) and how AI/agentic AI can integrate into processes. ITIL knowledge is a plus.
• Good communication skills.
• Languages: Dutch and English, spoken and written.

Nice to Have

• Basic knowledge of version control (Git) and CI/CD concepts is a plus.
• Understanding of data modeling, logging/monitoring, and non-functional requirements.
