Keeping Business Applications Running and Constantly Improving

We are looking for an Application Specialist to join our Business Applications team and take ownership of the day-to-day support and operation of key business systems. With a primary focus on Product Information Management (Akeneo) and Digital Asset Management (Bynder), you will ensure stable operations, effective second-level support, and continuous improvement across our application landscape. Acting as a central link between business users, IT, and external vendors, you will help translate business needs into practical, well-functioning application solutions.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Provide second‑level support and day‑to‑day operation of key business applications, primarily Akeneo PIM and Bynder DAM
• Analyze and resolve incidents and service requests, coordinating with IT teams and external vendors when needed
• Monitor application performance, availability, and data quality to ensure stable operations
• Manage configuration, user access, releases, updates, and patches in collaboration with vendors and IT
• Act as a functional expert, supporting users with best practices, training, and onboarding
• Contribute to continuous improvement through optimization, automation, documentation, and project participation

What we hope you bring

• Experience in application support or operations within an enterprise environment
• Hands‑on experience with PIM (Akeneo) and/or DAM (Bynder) solutions (preferred)
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot functional and technical issues
• Experience working with external vendors and diverse internal stakeholders
• A service‑oriented, structured, and proactive mindset with strong documentation skills
• Clear communication skills and a collaborative approach, combined with a high sense of responsibility

Your Team, Our Culture and Values

You will join our Business Applications team with 11 colleagues, responsible for our Salesforce CRM solution, Akeneo PIM solution and Bynder DAM solution, among other smaller platforms. Our everyday life is busy, but we also have an informal atmosphere where there is always room for laughter. We offer a position where teamwork is highly valued, and responsibility and attention to detail are appreciated competencies.

Our headquarters are in Aabenraa, but we also have offices in Kolding where you can work from when it is convenient. Traveling to subsidiaries related to launches and implementation is possible but optional.

Your leader at ABENA will be Senior Manager, Maria Nedersee Torp, who describes her leadership style as follows:

“I lead with openness and trust while setting a strong focus on high delivery, inspiring teams to take ownership and make things happen, and in return you can expect great freedom and flexibility. I value working with multi-country, multicultural teams and the diverse perspectives they bring.”

At ABENA, you join a global company with a strong purpose: to make a real difference in the everyday lives of people around the world. We combine professionalism with a warm, people-first culture where collaboration, curiosity, and continuous improvement are necessary parts of everyday life. We take pride in delivering high-quality work with integrity, guided by our core values of trust, fairness, and cooperation. These values shape how we lead, support one another, and create meaningful impact for our customers and communities.
