About The R&D Operations Department

Our R&D organization, spanning both Product and Technology functions, plays a vital role in RELEX's success. The newly established R&D Operations department enables and enhances R&D's efficiency, data-driven decision-making, and ways of working by driving process, reporting and tooling related development.

  • Drive improvements to data quality and accessibility to enhance operational and strategic decision-making.
  • Collaborate with key stakeholders to maintain a holistic understanding of data insights, ensuring they drive actionable improvements and meaningful outcomes.
  • Lead initiatives related to reporting and analytics tools development, starting with the evaluation and potential implementation of a software development analytics tool to improve visibility into engineering efficiency and outcomes.

Driving Process & Organizational Improvements

  • Work closely with R&D Operations colleagues, QA Managers, and R&D Department Leads to continuously improve ways of working across the R&D organization.
  • Lead internal process development initiatives according to R&D priorities and your own interests, act as owner for selected processes.
  • Actively collaborate with different stakeholders across the organization to identify new development opportunities that will help R&D to reach the set goals.
  • Advocate for data-driven decision-making across R&D.

What We're Looking For:

  • Experience in engineering or R&D function with deep understanding of software development processes, metrics, and operational challenges.

  • Proven ability to drive organizational changes, improve processes and develop reporting in software development context.
  • Experience in implementing or using software development analytics tools is considered as an advantage.
  • Proficiency in tools like Power BI and Jira, or the ability to learn them quickly.
  • Proactive mindset – ability to take initiative, drive progress independently, and move projects forward without strict top-down guidance.
  • Fluency in both written and spoken English.
