IT Consultant – Future Specialist Cadet ERP

Full-time | on-site Kladno | Czech required

Who we are (ProXIV)

We are a small company established in 2003. We develop software for manufacturing companies, mainly in the cable industry, and our goal is to deliver a professional, quality, and user-friendly product that customers truly use and appreciate.

We have been helping manufacturing companies manage their processes smartly and simply (planning, production, materials, warehouses) for a long time. We understand what customers really need and develop our product accordingly.

Our goal is to have the best solution for cable manufacturers.

How we work

We are not a corporation.

• Things do not pile up at approval levels, they just get done.
• No unnecessary bureaucracy, no endless processes.
• We communicate quickly and openly, and anyone can come up with a suggestion or say “this doesn't make sense”.
• Fairness, agreement, trust. When there's a problem, we address it directly and solve it.
• We are a team that helps each other and stands by each other.
• We appreciate work that has meaning and a visible impact on customers.
• We work together in the office – collaboration and sharing know-how is an advantage, not a limitation. We offer home office only exceptionally.
• This is not “I sit for eight hours and go home”. We are looking for someone who cares about the outcome.

What you will do

• Consultation and optimization of manufacturing processes
• You will look at how the company operates (materials, warehouse, production planning, dispatch…) and help them set up or improve these processes.
• Finding and proposing solutions, their implementation
• The customer has a need/problem → you will understand it, analyze it, and propose a specific solution in our system. You will help put it into practice.
• Communication with clients, training, and user support
• You will explain to people how the new feature works, how to use it, and why it saves them time. You will be a partner for them, not a “call center”.
• Testing processes and application quality control
• You will verify that the newly delivered or modified solution works as it should – not only technically but mainly process-wise.
• Collaboration with development
• You will convey clear requirements to the team: what the customer needs and why. You help make sense of what needs to be developed.

💡 Important: This position has a clear growth path. You can start as a process and user consultant and gradually move more towards the technical side:

• working with data in MS SQL Server (data control, query reading, basic T-SQL),
• creating and modifying reports/outputs,
• understanding our product “from the inside”,
• gradually getting involved in defining modifications for development, possibly even minor technical adjustments.

If you are interested in more technical aspects over time (data analysis, working with SQL, basic programming), you have that opportunity with us.

What a typical day looks like

• We operate on-site in the office in Kladno, usually around 8–16.
• In the morning, we go over what needs to be addressed in the team, if there is anything urgent with the customer, and who needs what.
• Part of the day, you communicate with the customer (clarifying requirements, training, explaining features, preparing deployment).
• Part of the day, you deal with process logic: how it should all work to really help people in operation.
• If an application adjustment is needed, you sit directly with the developers next to you (no three floors of approvals).
• Before handing over the new solution to the customer, you verify that “it makes sense even in a real scenario”.
• Lunch often together (voluntarily).
• Once a week, we do a larger project overview: what is being deployed, what is being prepared, where the priorities are.

We consider home office more as an exception because this work is a lot about team collaboration and quick communication.

Who we are looking for

This position is great for someone who:

• understands that the reality of production/warehouse/planning is not a PowerPoint table, but a living chaos,
• enjoys untangling and simplifying problems,
• wants to be in contact with people and at the same time deal with functional processes.

You fit in with us if:

• you can talk to people normally (calmly, understandably, not condescendingly),
• you can ask questions until you understand the real problem,
• you think in context (“if we change A, it will affect B and C”),
• you have a responsible approach to work (what I deliver, I stand by),
• you don't just want to sit for eight hours, but want to see results.

Plus variant B (also great):

You have experience in production/logistics/purchasing/quality and say “IT and systems interest me more than the actual operation”. This is exactly the profile that often fits in perfectly.

Requirements (must-have)

• Czech at native speaker level (C2).
• You will talk to customers, train users, explain procedures.
• English min. B1.
• You need to understand documentation, communicate simply, write a problem description.
• Very good computer skills in Windows environment and Office tools (especially Excel – filtering, searching, working with data).
• Willingness to learn new things (production processes, our product, working with data, MS SQL, basic technical terms).
• Willingness to work every working day in the office in Kladno full-time.
• This is not an isolated “remote” role – we solve things together on-site.
• Ability to deal with people professionally, calmly, and fairly.

Advantages (not a requirement)

• German/Polish (most clients are outside the Czech Republic).
• Experience from a manufacturing company (production planning, material purchasing, warehouse management, dispatch, quality…). Cable industry is an extra plus.
• Basic data work:
• Microsoft SQL Server
• T-SQL
• reporting tools
• You don't have to know this at the start, but if you've ever looked into a database or extracted data, it's a big advantage.
• Experience with communication with customers or internal users (training, coordination, system implementation in operation).

What we offer

• Appropriate financial compensation.
• Possibility of long-term cooperation – we are looking for a team member, not “project help”.
• Direct impact: your work is not theory, the customer sees and uses it.
• Fair and open communication. No unnecessary bureaucracy, no corporate loop through three managers.
• A team that helps each other and communicates normally.
• Room to grow:
• into process/consultant seniority (analysis, solution proposal, customer leadership),
• or more into the technical area (MS SQL Server, data work, basic programming thinking, collaboration on application modification proposals).
• Opportunity to improve in a foreign language when working with foreign customers.

Interested?

Please send us a few sentences:

• What experience you have (production/planning/purchasing/warehouse/system support/training people…).
• If you have ever worked with data (Excel, reports, SQL…).
• In which languages you can communicate with the customer (CZ, EN, possibly DE, PL, ...).
• Where you commute from (due to Kladno).

We will contact you and arrange a personal meeting directly at our office in Kladno.
