• Plan and execute consolidation into shared platforms and tenants
• Contribute to selection, implementation, and rollout of groupwide systems
• Develop and standardize IT processes, policies, and documentation
• Support acquisitions with IT onboarding and integration
• Advise management on IT strategy, risks, and improvement initiatives

Qualifications:
• Higher education within IT or related fields
• Minimum five years of experience with responsibility for IT operations or infrastructure
• Solid understanding of identity, security, networks, and endpoint management
• Experience working on system changes and implementation
• Background from group structures or post-acquisition integration is an advantage
• Knowledge of Microsoft-based cloud environments is an advantage

Personal profile:
• Structured and reliable
• Clear and direct communicator
• Comfortable with responsibility and expectations

What we offer:
• A key role in a growing European group

This role suits you if you want to build and standardize, not only maintain.
