Job Purpose
The Systems Manager is responsible for the end-to-end management, governance, and continuous evolution of the company’s business application ecosystem.
Unlike infrastructure-focused roles, this position focuses on the software layer—managing custom portals, BPM tools (such as Kissflow), and specialized departmental applications.
The goal is to ensure that all systems are utilized to their maximum potential, access rights are strictly governed, and manual processes are continuously digitized.
1. Application Governance & Authority Management
- **Access Control:**
- Define and manage user authorities (permissions) across all internal applications to ensure data security and proper departmental segregation.
- **Policy Creation:**
- Develop and enforce standard operating procedures (SOPs) for application usage.
- **Audit & Compliance:**
- Regularly review user logs and permission matrices to ensure alignment with the company’s Delegation of Authority (DoA).
2. Continuous Improvement (Optimization)
- **System Evolution:**
- Take ownership of existing tools such as Kissflow, the Staff Portal, and Incident Reporting applications, ensuring they evolve with changing business needs.
- **Lifecycle Management:**
- Monitor application performance and implement quality-of-life improvements based on user feedback.
- **Integration:**
- Ensure that different applications (e.g., portals and reporting tools) are integrated and share data seamlessly where required.
3. Custom Solution Development
- **Needs Analysis:**
- Engage with business units to identify gaps where new applications or automated workflows can improve efficiency.
- **Application Development:**
- Build and deploy internal applications using low-code/no-code platforms or custom scripting where needed.
- **Prototyping:**
- Develop proof-of-concept (POC) solutions for management approval prior to full-scale implementation.
4. User Advocacy & Training
- **System Awareness:**
- Educate internal stakeholders on the purpose and value of each system, not just how to use it.
- **Documentation:**
- Maintain a comprehensive library of user manuals and easy-to-follow “how-to” guides for non-technical users.
- **Change Management:**
- Lead the transition from manual processes to digital systems to ensure high adoption rates.
Bpm & Workflow Tools
- Expert-level knowledge of Kissflow or similar Business Process Management (BPM) tools.
Portal Management
- Experience managing and customizing intranets or staff portals.
Logic & Scripting
- Strong understanding of business logic, conditional workflows, and basic API connectivity.
Business Analysis
- Ability to document manual business processes and translate them into technical workflows.
Soft Skills
- **Customer-Centric Mindset:**
- Treat internal staff as customers, ensuring a smooth and user-friendly digital experience.
- **Communication:**
- Ability to explain technical concepts (e.g., permissions, systems) in a clear and simple way for non-technical stakeholders such as HR or Finance teams.
- **Strategic Thinking:**
- Ability to look beyond immediate fixes and identify long-term system improvements.
Key Performance Indicators (Kpis)
- **User Adoption:**
- Percentage of employees actively using the Staff Portal and automated workflows.
- **Process Efficiency:**
- Reduction in time required for manual processes after digitization (e.g., faster incident reporting).
- **Authority Accuracy:**
- Zero unauthorized access incidents due to improper permission management.
