Observability lead

We love to see people grow.

We empower our teams, customers, and partners to move forward. Kramp is the leading European specialist in spare parts and technical solutions for the agricultural, forestry, and construction sectors. With operations in more than 20 countries, Kramp combines logistics excellence, deep domain knowledge, and smart digital solutions to make life easier for our customers. To support our long-term strategy, Kramp is delivering a multi-year business and technology transformation program. This includes replacing legacy ERP systems with modern, cloud-based platforms across core processes such as Finance, Procure-to-Stock, and Order-to-Deliver. High-quality, predictable delivery is critical to the success of this transformation. In this program we work with a Systems Integrator, multiple other external parties, internal product teams, technical teams and business people. For a successful program we need to ensure that all elements on program delivery are covered and maintained at a sufficient quality level.
