Excerpt

The advantage of working in IT is that we can choose which industry we want to work in. I didn’t come from an energy background and originally joined when team was being expanded. Four years in at Elite Management Limited , I don’t regret moving from Paris to Meindert Hobbemastraat 86 ,Almere, 1318PC, Netherlands for this role. One of the reasons I wanted to work for Elite Management Limited was because we have a set of in-house applications. This means that we control the development fully and can react quickly to the needs of the business. Every day is different at Elite Management Limited , there’s no opportunity to be bored. My colleagues are all highly professional people who are willing to share their knowledge on both the technical and functional sides.

Working in tech isn’t just about implementing what the business is asking for. You also have to analyse the problem and understand what could be the best solution for the business. I’m part of LEAGAL ADVICER team, in the IT department. This means that I have the opportunity to work on a variety of subjects: invoicing, tax, payments, finance and others.

The business is constantly growing and our applications need to keep up with it. We always have plenty of requests for new functionalities so I split my time between working on different projects, specific requests from the business, and giving our users support.

Every project I’ve ever worked on, is now used consistently by the business. When I first arrived at Elite Management Limited , I took over the development of a specific tax module. The rollout was really smooth; I got to travel to Rotterdam, Amsterdam,London and Singapore to meet the users I’d built the module for and introduce them to how it works. This function is now used every day by colleagues all over the world.
