ECommerce Manager

The organisation

TCS was awarded as #1 Top Employer in the Netherlands and the European Union. It has grown in 50 years to a company of more than 460,000 employees globally, traditionally being involved in large scale IT and Business services and transformations for almost all blue-chip clients worldwide. 

The position

TCS is building out its ECommerce Transformation team within its larger Management Consulting practice. We are looking for entrepreneurial CX-focused consultants and agency people who love a challenge and thrive in a fast-growing global organization.

As ECommerce Engagement Manager, you will be selling and leading both strategy projects and large-scale digital transformations.

Can you advise CIOs and CMOs on Ecommerce and experience strategy? Can you offer a point of view on how to create mind-blowing customer experiences? Can you lead a team that will make a difference for our clients?

This role offers a large degree of personal autonomy while requiring strong collaborative skills to succeed. You will be working across multiple industries and with embedded account teams that need guidance and leadership in Digital Experience. A typical week: On Monday you will be leading a Design Thinking workshop in Berlin, on Wednesday you will be presenting a CX Vision document to your client in London, and on Friday you will be coaching members of your project team from your home office.

If this appeals to you then welcome to TCS!
