About Everfield

Everfield acquires, develops, and scales European software companies from vertical markets and niche sectors, providing them with the tools to take the next step. Our mission: to foster ambition, drive growth, and open up opportunities for Europe's software ecosystem.

The companies within the Everfield ecosystem operate decentrally: they retain their teams, brands, and locations, focusing on what they do best – developing products and serving customers. Everfield supports them with Talent Acquisition, HR, and an expert team that advises on finance and operations. Since its founding in 2022, Everfield has presence in nine countries, and is growing.

About SoCom

SoCom Informationssysteme GmbH, with around 45 employees, develops TIKOS, the leading ERP solution for commercial laundries and textile service providers. With approximately 40% market share in the DACH region and over 30 years of experience, customers use TIKOS to manage their entire process chain, from laundry intake to RFID tracking to delivery. As of October 2026, Düchting Software & Consulting GmbH is also part of the SoCom family. SoCom is part of the Everfield ecosystem.

About the Role

You will take responsibility for our entire IT: the internal infrastructure, information security, and the SoCom Cloud, where we operate TIKOS for our customers. Many of these services have been outsourced until now. We are now bringing this expertise in-house – and you will set up the IT in such a way that it keeps pace with our growth, the integration of new company parts, and increasing regulatory requirements.

You are both a strategist and a doer: you will develop the IT strategy together with management and get hands-on in day-to-day operations.

Your Responsibilities

• IT Responsibility and Strategy: You will holistically manage SoCom's IT, develop an IT roadmap together with management, and control the IT budget for hardware, licenses, cloud, and service providers.

• Insourcing and Service Provider Management: You will gradually bring previously outsourced services – network, firewall, servers, backup, and email security – under our own responsibility. You will manage remaining service providers and contracts through clear SLAs.

• Cloud and Hosting: You will operate and further develop the SoCom Cloud, where we host TIKOS for customers. Together with Sales and Support, you will calculate hosting offers, be responsible for availability, capacity, and costs, and drive a future-proof hosting architecture.

• Infrastructure and Operations: You will be responsible for servers, network, firewall, backup, and disaster recovery – at the site and in the cloud – as well as Microsoft 365, end devices, telephony, and mobile communications. You will manage monitoring and patch management through an RMM tool.

• Information Security and Compliance: As the internal owner for IT Security, you will coordinate vulnerability and incident management, work closely with Everfield's CISO network, and implement the requirements of NIS-2, Cyber Resilience Act, and GDPR within the infrastructure.

• Integration of Düchting: You will bring the IT of Düchting Software & Consulting GmbH up to SoCom standard by 2027, consolidating systems, licenses, and processes.

• Documentation and Knowledge Management: You will build robust IT documentation – systems, access, costs, and emergency plans – to ensure knowledge is shared within the team and is available at all times.

• Leadership and Collaboration: You will work closely with our IT Administration and form a team with mutual representation. You will be the central point of contact for all IT matters for Support, R&D, DevOps, and Sales.

• AI and Digitalization: You will support the secure use of AI tools within the company according to Everfield's AI policy and automate internal IT processes.

What You Bring

Must-Haves

• Completed degree (Computer Science, Business Informatics, or similar) or vocational training as an IT specialist with relevant professional experience

• At least 5 years of experience in IT administration or IT management, with at least 2 years in a responsible role in a medium-sized company (approx. 30–250 employees)

• Solid practical experience with Windows Server, Active Directory/Entra ID, Microsoft 365, networks (VLAN, VPN), and firewalls (e.g., Sophos, Fortinet)

• Experience in operating cloud or hosting infrastructure (IaaS, e.g., IONOS, Azure, AWS) including virtualization, backup, and disaster recovery

• Strong security awareness and practical experience in vulnerability and incident management

• Experience in managing external IT service providers as well as in budget and license management

• Hands-on mentality: You take responsibility and solve problems yourself

• Native-level German and good English skills for coordination within the international Everfield network

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience in hosting business software for external customers (SLAs, tenant separation)

• Knowledge of NIS-2, ISO 27001/BSI IT-Grundschutz, or the Cyber Resilience Act

• Experience with SQL Server databases and Linux systems

• Experience with RMM tools (e.g., NinjaOne, Datto RMM) and automation with PowerShell

• Experience with IT integrations after company acquisitions

• Knowledge in the secure use of AI tools

Not everyone meets every point. If you largely meet the must-have criteria and are enthusiastic about the role, apply – we look forward to getting to know you.

Application Process

• First Interview (30 min.) with Karolina, Talent Acquisition Partner at Everfield

• Technical Interview (60 min.) with Stefan Hoffmann, Managing Director SoCom, and Everfield AI Lead

• Final Interview on-site in Krumbach (90 min.) with case study (e.g., an insourcing plan for an external IT service provider) and getting to know the team

We look forward to your application!
