Digital First! The core value of the IT department, and it has been for many years. What’s more, the changing market environment – such as the arrival of e-commerce and omnichannel distribution – has transformed HTG into a genuine digital first company. IT is engaged, and leads all business processes at HTG. The team is made up of various branches, each with their own specialisation. This includes the service desk, where questions from the business are answered or directed to other specialised branches, the functional management team that ensures all our applications are up to date,
the technical management team, where in-house applications are developed, and the infrastructure team that manages the network and all our servers. Every day, more than 60 passionate IT staff are actively working across various locations, implementing and maintaining new technological solutions that safeguard HTG’s development and digitisation. Are you the driven and ambitious IT person we need on our team?
IT core values
Digital first
IT works with the other business segments to ensure all processes follow a digital approach, interwoven as it is throughout the organization - from Procurement to Sales, from HR to Logistics. For example, IT created applications for viewing sales statistics that can be used to make sales predictions for the future.
Ownership
You feel responsible for your area of expertise and look after its proper functioning. You are committed to problem resolution and the development of new applications. You are given plenty of freedom to put projects forward and take projects on, and as such, you are expected to be assertive in this regard.
Result Orientation
Project durations may vary quite a lot, from a week to as long as six months. Our IT department always works towards a “dot on the horizon”, a defined endpoint. There’s always a better, faster and more efficient way in IT. You always work to achieve the desired solution, with a focus on results and often in collaboration with other departments.
Continuous learning
You are eager to learn! IT is always on the move and we expect the same from you. HTG offers the opportunity to expand your knowledge and keep your expertise current. Days such as “Innovation Friday” challenge you to keep working on your personal development. How would you feel about working with the Microsoft HoloLens? Or how about working with Google Home or Alexa? We are big on encouraging experimental projects that benefit the company.
