From technology and customer experience to commercial priorities, transformation and the way we operate as an organisation. That means our CIO is constantly balancing complex decisions, competing priorities and topics that cut across teams and business units.\nThat is where you come in.\nAs IT Business Manager, you work closely with our CIO and IT Leadership Team to turn complexity into clear choices, aligned priorities and action. You connect dots others may not immediately see, bring structure to ambiguous topics and make sure important decisions do not stop at the meeting room door.\nYou are not here to manage the CIO’s agenda. You help shape it.\nThis is a role for someone who understands technology and business, reads an organisation quickly and knows how to influence without needing formal authority. Someone who can move from a strategic discussion with senior leaders to preparing a sharp decision paper, and from there straight into a cross-functional initiative that needs momentum.\nWhat you’ll do\nYou act as a trusted strategic partner to the CIO and help make the IT organisation more effective.\nA large part of your role is decision support. You structure complex topics, bring together input from across IT and turn it into concise analyses, recommendations and briefings that enable strong and timely decision-making.\nYou will also represent the CIO in selected steering committees and cross-functional governance forums. You understand the context, challenge where needed, ensure decisions are translated into action and return with a clear view of what matters next.\nCommunication is another important part of the role. You help build a consistent narrative for IT by shaping Town Hall content, CIO keynotes, internal announcements and leadership communications. You understand that good communication is not about making things sound better. It is about making strategy understandable.\nAnd you connect.\nYou act as a bridge between IT and teams such as Commercial, Finance, Networks, Customer Operations and Strategy. You translate technology into business language, and business needs back into something IT can act on. You help unblock topics, align priorities and bring people together when ownership crosses organizational boundaries.\nWhen an important initiative does not naturally belong to one team, you may take the lead yourself. That can mean coordinating a strategy refresh, an organisational review, a transformation milestone or another cross-cutting priority on behalf of the CIO.\nYou also help create rhythm in the IT Leadership Team: shaping agendas, tracking commitments and making sure decisions and actions keep moving.\nAnd finally, there is a part of this role that is less visible but just as important.\nYou are a trusted sounding board to the CIO on sensitive strategic, organisational and people-related topics. That requires judgement, independence and absolute discretion.\nInfluence without hierarchy\nThis is not a traditional management role.\nYou will work with people at every level of the organisation, often bringing together colleagues who do not report to you. Your job is to create alignment, momentum and clarity, not to become the owner of everything yourself.\nYour success is visible when leaders can make better decisions, teams understand the direction and important topics move forward.\nAt Odido, we believe in people.\nWe personally review every application. No keyword filters, no automated AI decisions.\nThat’s why we ask you to briefly share why this specific role at Odido fits your experience and ambition.\nBriefly means short, and personal, start the dialogue with us, what triggered you to apply.\nWe do not hire your AI … (yet)…;-)\nSalary scale as published in this vacancy\nThis role is part of Odido’s IT Management Team, but it is not a director-level position. The published salary range reflects a manager or team lead level at Odido.\nIn addition to the published salary, the package includes a company lease car or a gross lease car allowance of €930 per month. If you choose the allowance, this amount is paid on top of your salary, including at the maximum of the published range.\nTogether we are\nWe want to become the most human-centred telecom provider in the Netherlands. That might sound odd from an IT or network role, but that's exactly where it starts. Because without stable systems, a reliable network and smart technology there's no conversation, no connection, no trust. You make sure everything runs, even when nobody notices. And that's precisely the point. Even if the customer doesn't see you, your impact is felt in every conversation, every connection and every moment it just works. Because when the technology is solid, people can work, customers can be helped, and trust is built.\nThis is what we stand for\nAt Odido we're there for each other. We see each other's talents. We listen and always look at what's possible, technically, personally and in the way we work together. Because you're at your best when you can grow, Odido gives you all the space you need for that. Together we look at where your ambition and talent lie and make sure you get the opportunities to grow in your own way, whether that's deeper technical specialisation, a broader architect role, or a step towards tech leadership.\nWhat we offer.\nAt Odido, you build and manage critical infrastructure at a national scale; ensuring reliability, performance, and security for millions of customers. You work on technology that truly matters, with a direct impact on how our network and IT services perform every day.\nIn return, we offer a competitive salary and a well-balanced total rewards package, including:\nA role-based bonus aligned with your performance;\n30 days of annual leave (full-time), plus an extra day off after Ascension Day;\nHybrid working model: 3 days in the office and 2 days from home;\nA €350 voucher to choose your own mobile phone; yours to keep;\nA personal learning budget and access to more than 200 training courses;\nA solid pension plan through Zwitserleven;\nDiscounts on your Odido Internet & TV or Klik & Klaar subscription;\nA bike lease scheme for sustainable commuting;\nEmployer contribution to your gym membership;\nAccess to a wide range of discounts on products and services.\nWe work together to deliver stable, scalable, and future-proof technology; and we celebrate the impact we make.\nIn short: you build what keeps us running, your work is visible, and you’re supported to keep growing.\nYou bring this\nSome things are difficult to capture in a job description.\nYou are curious enough to ask the question nobody has asked yet. Confident enough to speak up when you see things differently. And pragmatic enough to know that being right means very little if you cannot bring people with you.\nYou are authentic, sharp and comfortable working with senior leaders. You listen before forming an opinion, recognise organisational dynamics and understand when to challenge, when to facilitate and when simply to create clarity.\nYou don’t need a large team or formal authority to create impact. This role has no direct line-management responsibility. Your influence comes from trust, judgement and the ability to mobilise people across the organisation.\nAbove all, empathy, honesty and genuine connection come naturally to you. They are not simply skills you have developed through education or training. They are part of who you are, both personally and professionally, and shape how you listen, build relationships and work with others.\nWhat you definitely bring\nBachelor or Master, combined with more than 5 years of relevant professional experience.\nExperience working on complex strategic or transformation topics within a large organisation.\nStrong analytical skills. You can quickly structure ambiguity, separate signal from noise and translate complexity into clear choices and recommendations.\nExcellent communication skills. You can communicate with senior leaders, negotiate, challenge and influence at a high organisational level.\nStrong stakeholder management. You build relationships quickly and can align people with different interests, priorities and perspectives.\nThe ability to work independently. You are comfortable taking ownership of complex topics without waiting for detailed direction.\nBusiness and technology awareness. You understand how IT contributes to wider business priorities and can translate between both worlds.\nStrong judgement and discretion. You are comfortable working with sensitive strategic, organisational and people-related information. \nNice to have\nExperience working directly with a CIO, CTO or senior executive leadership team.\nExperience in telecom, technology or another complex digital environment.\nExperience leading cross-functional strategic initiatives without formal authority.\nExperience creating executive-level communications, strategic briefings or decision papers.\nImportant note: You must already live in the Netherlands, preferably within ~50 km of The Hague, and you’ll work in this role at least 4 days per week from our Den Haag office.\nWhen are you a good fit?\nEven though we have many different colleagues, we look for a few typical Odido traits in every new team member. You need to be able to handle a changing organisation. The world of communications changes every day, and we need to grow along with it. Being naturally curious and interested in the technology we work with and the industry we're in helps enormously.","description_format":"text","description_chars":9544,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave","Gym membership","Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Netherlands","iso":"NL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Mobile Networks","Broadband"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T13:21:26Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":64,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.858,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":15,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:6","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T19:29:36Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":97620,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/odido-it-business-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/odido-it-business-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T19:29:36Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":41056,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":54493},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=54493"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fodido-it-business-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fodido-it-business-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fodido-it-business-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/odido-it-business-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fodido-it-business-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4165453}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"odido.nl","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4165453},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
