Job description

Our client is a global specialist in electric power conversion, supplying customers in 47 countries from offices, production sites, R&D centres and service hubs across Europe, the Americas and Asia. Central group functions sit in Germany and Kraków; the OEM business units operate from Bulgaria, the USA, Brazil and Japan. Fifty years of engineering history, and a renewable energy business that is still growing.

About the Role

You will lead IT for the group from Kraków, reporting to the Group CFO. This is a hands‑on management role with two halves: running a small IT team and the systems they support, and acting as the bridge between the business and its technology.

The core of the job is the group's business applications — Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central above all — plus the modern workplace built around Microsoft 365. You will own how those systems evolve: gathering what the business actually needs, prioritising it, managing the external partners who build it, and making sure people use what gets delivered.

This is delivery and adoption work, not architecture from an ivory tower. You will run workshops with Finance, Operations, Sales and HR, negotiate with vendors, and travel to other group locations when it matters.

What You Will Do

• Lead and develop a small IT team — set priorities, support their growth, keep day‑to‑day delivery moving.
• Own Dynamics 365 Business Central: monitor it, improve it continuously, and prioritise change requests across the group.
• Develop and run the group's digital workplace on Microsoft 365 — SharePoint, Power BI, and the rollout of AI tooling such as Copilot.
• Translate business into IT and IT into business: run requirement workshops with departments, turn what you hear into something buildable.
• Manage external IT providers for applications, infrastructure and services — scope, performance and contract negotiation.
• Deliver IT projects across group locations, from concept through rollout, training and adoption.
• Prepare and manage the IT budget, and identify where cost can come out without capability going with it.
• Improve process transparency through reporting and business‑relevant KPIs.
• Coordinate IT compliance - information security and data protection with the group's providers and specialist functions.
• Support the governance of AI and automation initiatives, including the data maturity needed to make them work.

What We Are Looking For - Essential

• 7+ years in IT project management, product management or business applications management in international environment.
• Experience leading a small team— formally as a manager, or as the senior person others reported to in practice. Tell us how many people and for how long.
• Hands‑on experience with an ERP system through implementation, rollout or continuous improvement. Dynamics 365 Business Central is ideal; comparable modern ERP experience will be considered.
• Working knowledge of the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
• Proven ability to gather business requirements, run workshops, and turn stakeholder needs into working solutions people actually adopt.
• Experience managing external IT vendors, including commercial and contract discussions.
• Strong analytical and organisational skills, and the confidence to present technology decisions to senior stakeholders.
• Fluent English that it is the group's working language..

What We Are Looking For - Advantageous

• Experience in manufacturing and or energy domain.
• LucaNet or another financial consolidation platform.
• Exposure to IT infrastructure, information security or data protection.
• Change management experience, or project/product certification (PMP, Scrum, Prince2).

What We Offer

• Annual bonus up to 20%.
• Company car.
• Hybrid working from Kraków
• Ownership of the IT function for an international group — flat hierarchies, English as the working language, and genuine room to shape how things are done.
• Individual development planning, training, and a structured onboarding.
