The energy transition requires smart, decisive professionals. In the Quality Architecture & Orchestration team, we work daily on reliable, secure, and well-managed IT services, so that the Netherlands can continue to rely on a reliable electricity grid tomorrow. Will you contribute to this as an IT Chain Specialist?

How will you keep the Netherlands connected? As an IT Chain Specialist, you are responsible for the technical overview and the technical quality of an IT Value Chain so that the Netherlands can continue to rely on reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy. Within the team, you will work in the DTT Operate DO Quality Orchestration & Architecture team, consisting of 30 colleagues. As an IT Chain Specialist, you co-fulfill the role of technical chain owner for the IT Value Chain and you ensure that changes take place with insight into impact, dependencies, and risks. You understand how systems, platforms, infrastructure, and integrations within the chain work together and you map out dependencies and risks. From this overview, you support decision-making regarding changes, incidents, and improvement initiatives. Together with the Value Chain Manager, you form the core team of the value chain. While the Value Chain Manager is responsible for performance, priorities, and business value, the IT Chain Specialist is responsible for technical insight, technical quality, and cohesion within the chain. The impact of this role lies in preventing disruptions, managing technical risks, and improving the reliability of IT services. As an ICS:

• You understand the position of the IT Value Chain within the broader business value stream and act from that context.
• You demonstrate natural leadership and know how to provide direction to teams, suppliers, and stakeholders without formal authority.
• You communicate clearly, connect interests, and translate complex technical issues into understandable choices and consequences.
• You act decisively, hold others accountable for agreements, and safeguard architecture principles, standards, and technical quality.
• You monitor technical quality indicators such as MTTR, availability, and change success rate and initiate improvement measures where necessary.
• You make dependencies, risks, and improvement measures transparent via dashboards, RCAs, and reports. The ICS periodically provides insight into the technical health of the chain to the Value Chain Manager, Business Owners, and the DTT Management Team.
