About the assignment:

Thales is currently revamping their mobility policy, which includes their lease policy and commuting allowances. Over half of their employees still commute by car, even though most live within 12 kilometres of their workplace. Thales is committed to significantly reducing its CO2 emissions, a large portion of which comes from commuting. Encouraging employees to bike or use public transport can make a substantial impact on meeting their sustainability goals.

Currently, Thales has various ways to track how employees commute to work, but they lack a system to register bicycle commutes and integrate them into their payroll. Your task will be to research and implement a system for registering and processing bicycle commutes. The aim is to have this system operational by January 1, 2025.

This is a hands-on assignment with immediate impact on the organisation. You will interact with a diverse range of stakeholders, including IS/IT for system integration, their labor lawyer to ensure privacy compliance, the Works Council for internal communication, and potentially external vendors for purchasing tools.

Affinity: Thales is looking for someone who can think in processes, is not afraid to reach out to various departments or external parties, and can effectively manage deadlines.
