clear passion for IT, processes and data.

functional analyst and implementer, and to keep a clear focus.

What our client offers
We provide intensive training for about a year in Wielsbeke (Belgium).
You get to know our ERP (type of SAP) package and related applications inside out.
You go through the entire implementation flow, from detailed functional analysis, backlog,
testing to release to end users. In addition, we expand your scope in terms of business
requirements by introducing you step-by-step to the processes, systems and data, before
you leave for Reidsville, North Carolina.
America, here I come!
Once you arrive in the United States, you integrate into the local IT team as a kind of
connecting officer to Belgium. You already know the user needs quite well, have processed a
series of tickets and know how to place change requests in a larger context. With this baggage, you start working in a people- and result-oriented way. Your desk chair may literally be the link between the software and the business processes, but very often your
chair is also empty in order to verify in production how people, machines and software are
synchronised. Occasionally, you will find yourself in need of training and coaching of the
users; other times, an issue requires system adjustments or interventions in data
CONDITIONS:
Belgium:

management.
For international travel, a credit card will be provided and all related costs (transport,
hotel, measures, ...) will be borne by the company
? Housing - Everything has to be considered within the candidate's own situation
(travelling alone or with family) and is always in consultation, but we can provide a
solution via air B&B for that year.
USA:
? Monthly salary: Gross to be converted into dollars. This is converted to an annual
salary.
? Inflation and currency adjustments are taken into account on an annual basis with
the start date in America as reference.
? Policy for reimbursement of all medical expenses, including repatriation if necessary.
? Two round trip tickets per year to home country to spend the holidays.
? Living is budgeted at $1,200.00 per month for a type 2-bedroom flat. For that price,
one can stay where another colleague also lived during his stay in America
(Greensboro): https://www.bridfordlakeapartments.com/ .
? For the furnishing of the flat a budget of $ 7,000.00 is foreseen. Perhaps there are
also some nice prototype chairs and beds available in the firm that can be used. The
intention is to buy what is needed, to live comfortably and to really come home.
? Car with fuel card at the company (to be seen on the spot).
The overseas social security can be used for a maximum of 5 years. After that a choice has to
be made between transferring to the American system according to all modalities applicable
in GTA USA or returning to Belgium. In case you choose for GTA USA, your salary will
probably be higher, but you will have to apply for social security according to American
standards and you will have to provide yourself with a place to live and a car. When
returning to Belgium, an equivalent job will be provided and the salary package will be
determined on the basis of a benchmark with the labour market at that time.
