What does a Functional Application Manager do?
As a functional application manager, you ensure that a company’s information systems run smoothly. But that’s not your only responsibility, you also play a supportive role for the users. The role is similar to that of an application manager, and the two positions can sometimes overlap.
However, a functional manager focuses specifically on providing the organization with the right information. The role includes user management, functionality management, and requirements management. It's a key position within any company.
Through us, you can find both junior and senior freelance assignments, so you can start working in a role that truly suits you.
