Your role in the team
- As Head of IT (m/f/d), you will be responsible for the internal IT of the Windhoff Group and work directly with the management team.
- You lead a team that works independently, develops solutions collaboratively, and takes responsibility for the trainees.
- You operate in a hybrid IT environment consisting of on-premises systems, Microsoft 365, Azure, and various business applications.
- Your daily routine is a mix of strategic decisions, projects, and operational topics.
- Sometimes you plan the next steps for our IT, and sometimes you support your team with a tricky challenge.

- You are the point of contact for the departments, assess requirements, and find solutions that work in everyday practice.
- You manage our IT budget, licenses, and external service providers, and decide which solutions are suitable for Windhoff.
- Together with the management team, you will further develop the IT and AI agenda and implement projects related to infrastructure, information security, and data protection.
- You will further develop our internal data and reporting platform based on Microsoft SQL with SAP BO, Power BI, and Fabric.
