•Enthusiasm: You need to be passionate about digitalisation and bringing efficiency and innovation to the Siemens business

•IT knowledge: You need to understand a broad range of IT (infrastructure, applications, security, architecture). We have a global network of subject matter experts, so you don't need to be a specialist, but more a generalist
