Head of IT Enterprise Applications

This is a newly created role within our global OneIT structure, giving you the chance to build something from the ground up. Historically, IT enterprise applications have been managed at a divisional level – now, we’re bringing them together under a single, unified vision.

You’ll take ownership of our entire enterprise application landscape, defining and executing a strategy that ensures our systems are efficient, secure, and aligned with business needs. A major focus will be on creating a harmonised ERP strategy (built around IFS ERP+), establishing a clear IT demand and project management process, and driving continuous improvement.

• Leading the Enterprise Applications Strategy – Developing a roadmap for our IT enterprise application landscape, ensuring it’s fit for purpose and delivering maximum business value.

• Building & Leading a High-Performing Team – Assembling a skilled team to support and enhance enterprise applications across our global operations.

• Developing an IFS ERP Template – Creating a standardised ERP framework that ensures consistency across all sites, with clear rollout and update processes.

• Optimising IT Governance – Establishing a demand management process that ensures IT investments align with business priorities.

• Driving Business Process Improvements – Partnering with stakeholders to ensure our applications are enabling efficiency, not just maintaining the status quo.

• Ensuring Security & Compliance – Embedding robust IT security standards across our enterprise application ecosystem.

You’re a strategic thinker with a strong background in enterprise applications and ERP (ideally IFS ERP). You thrive in fast-paced, complex environments, balancing big-picture vision with hands-on execution. You’re an influential leader, a skilled collaborator, and someone who can navigate a multi-stakeholder, international business with ease.

• Proven expertise in IT enterprise applications, ERP solutions, and business process optimisation.

• A track record of delivering full lifecycle ERP implementations and creating standardised templates.

• Strong knowledge of IT project management and best-practice application governance.

• Experience building and leading high-performing teams across multiple locations.

• The ability to drive business value through IT, not just manage technology.

• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset – comfortable in a private equity-backed, fast-moving environment.

We’re a fast-growing, international business with ambitious plans. Our IT transformation is a key enabler of that growth, and this role offers a rare opportunity to shape a critical function from the ground up. If you’re excited by the challenge of building a best-in-class enterprise applications strategy and making a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.
