We're the team that shows up in hard hats and leaves with game-changing spaces, because ordinary buildings are for ordinary companies, and we're definitely not ordinary. Our Company Values: “We are Edge” Entrepreneurship; We take initiative, think creatively, and embrace smart risk-taking to create lasting value and drive innovation. Drive; We are ambitious, focused, and resilient, always pushing forward with energy and determination to achieve meaningful results and bring the extra 20% that nobody expects but everyone remembers.

You will join the IT team at our Amsterdam headquarters, a small team that runs a fully cloud-native Microsoft environment for all Edge offices across Europe. Edge is putting AI to work across the organisation, from Microsoft Copilot and Claude for every colleague to purpose-built AI tools for specific teams. Colleagues come to us with more ideas than we can build. Your job is to turn those ideas into well-founded projects. A colleague tells you they want tool X to be able to do Y; you find out what they really need, work out how a solution would function and turn it into a first project document and business case that decides whether we go ahead.

Get from “I want tool X to do Y” to the actual problem worth solving. Project document and business case: turn each request into an initial project document: scope, users, expected benefits, effort, cost and risks, ending in a clear go or no-go proposal to the Head of IT. Solution logic: describe how a solution should work: the screens a user sees, the steps behind them and the data and rules that drive them, so the build team can pick it up without starting over. Testing and feedback: test the solutions we build against the original request, together with the people who will use them. AI adoption: help prepare AI workshops, showcases and short user guides so colleagues get the most out of the tools we provide. Overall support: help the IT team with day-to-day questions from colleagues, including basic troubleshooting.
