Head of IT

Your Responsibilities

• You shape our IT future: You will further develop our IT strategy and implement suitable solutions for our group of companies. You will report directly to the Group CEO and be responsible for the IT budget, personnel, and projects.

• You bring projects to completion: You will plan and manage the introduction and improvement of new systems – from ERP/WMS and CRM to webshops and product catalogs to interfaces – and coordinate internal stakeholders and external partners.

• You strengthen your team: You will lead and promote two employees in support and application responsibility, establish clear support processes and responsibilities, and actively participate in day-to-day business.

• You keep operations running: Together with your team and external service providers, you will ensure stable and secure IT, functioning interfaces, and high data quality. In case of disruptions, you will quickly find viable solutions.

• You modernize our interfaces: You will lead the replacement of existing interfaces with Lobster Data and manage the implementation with our external partners.

• You simplify processes: You will identify where digital solutions and automation create real added value and support our employees through changes.

What You Bring With You

• Completed apprenticeship or degree in computer science or a comparable qualification, as well as in-depth IT expertise and a good system understanding.

• Experience with demanding IT projects; overall responsibility for the IT of an SME is desired. Experience in the logistics industry or in the IT integration of corporate groups and acquisitions is an advantage.

• Demonstrable experience in leading an ERP project is mandatory. You are familiar with the challenges from requirements gathering to data migration to go-live in ongoing operations.

• Enjoy leading a small team, motivating people, and developing solutions together.

• Understanding of business processes and the importance of reliable IT for daily logistics operations.

• Clear, understandable communication and a strong customer and service orientation, initiative, sense of responsibility, and economic thinking. You set priorities, keep an eye on costs, and are eager to roll up your sleeves and make a difference in an SME environment.

• Willingness to work evenings or weekends in emergencies.

What You Can Look Forward To

• A key role with a direct line to the CEO: You will take IT responsibility for our three companies, set priorities, and drive the further development of our IT.

• Genuine build-up work with scope for design: There is much to build – from modern systems and clear processes to reliable structures. The management offers you a lot of freedom and support for this.

• The chance to make a visible difference: If challenging tasks motivate you and you enjoy taking responsibility, you can achieve a lot with us, implement future-oriented IT solutions, and actively participate in shaping the digital future of our company.

• Variety across three companies: You can expect diverse requirements, exciting projects, and insights into our operational processes.
