Job description

Guarantee the very best quality of the Planon software for our customers! You do this by advising, guiding and helping your clients with the management of their Planon application both on site and remotely.

 

In this position you will be an Application Manager helping our clients with the functional management of the Planon software. You will be part of an international team that helps a very diverse set of clients, mainly in The UK, but also Sweden and the Netherlands. You will build relationships with your clients and help them solve incidents, implement changes and provide support for new releases. You will also guide your clients in the use of the application, give them advice and try to spot opportunities to help them further in the use of Planon. 

 

Questions you may receive as Application Manager range from "How can I create a reservation system for my staff?" to, for example, "How can we best gain insight into the occupancy of our office buildings?".

 

We promise to challenge you every step of the way: you'll work with leading customers and interact with a fun, hard-working team.

 

You successfully fulfill your role by:

  • Maintaining, managing and optimizing the existing setup based on new insights, maintaining authorizations and archiving activities and data in the Planon application;
  • Spotting and suggesting opportunities that the software and new releases bring, which may lead to new implementation projects or smaller changes;
  • Creating and maintaining documentation and writing user instructions;
  • Guiding the customer in the use of the Planon application through on-the-job training.

 

Planon is growing! Within our EMEA West (Nordics, Netherlands and the UK) organization we are looking for an Application Manager who will be located in our Brighton (UK) office. In this role you will report to the Head of Services and be part of an international operating team. Your focus will be on our customer base within the UK. With approximately 40 colleagues in the UK, you work with a diverse team where there is a good atmosphere, enabling mutual learning and where regular social events are organized—think of drinks in our bar, summer party on our terrace, or a friendly competition on our shuffleboard table! The UK Services team consists of 16 colleagues with various roles such as project managers, (lead) consultants, or TMS consultants. Here, colleagues work hybrid, but your presence in the office is certainly appreciated.
