We are looking for a Database Management Senior Specialist

First things first: Our Brand.

We are a digital brand and a global technology company, operating in the fields of telecommunication, e-commerce, gaming, insurance, TV, tech-fin and payment systems, currently in 21 countries.   

With our expertise and passion for digitalization at Vodafone, we are a global center of excellence that sets the pace in the industry.  

We are proud to export our successful practices abroad, while transferring our global know-how to our country.

We have a global team of more than 90.000 colleagues taking part in a transformative and an exctiting journey.

Our Spirit, Our Way.

Here are the key behaviours that help us bring our Spirit and Purpose to life: 

• Earn customer loyalty: Small things do matter. 

• Experiment, learn fast: Just take the chance.

We are proud to have the most flexible #hybrid way of working in Turkey. 

Together with your team, you can decide which days to come to the office depending on your work requirements. 

Another favorite:  Meeting-free afternoons! Every Friday, arrival of the noon means we can start to take it easy: spend time working on our personal development or catching up with our team. We call this #CumaKafası (Friday mood :)).

And yes we are Agile! The world is constantly changing. And we cannot afford not to! Our journey began  by simplifying our organizational model and transforming into a more agile structure that now we use extensively, especially in our development processes.
