IT Manager (m/f/d)

What awaits you with us

This position ensures that IT systems function reliably, are operated efficiently and are developed in a targeted way – always in line with the company's priorities. Alongside strategic direction, it also includes hands-on implementation – from resolving critical incidents to delivering technical improvements.

The person in this role takes on an active part in day-to-day operations (approx. 50–70% hands-on) and combines operational excellence with structured leadership.

Tasks and responsibilities

• Ensuring stable and secure IT operations (on-premises / cloud)
• Further development of IT infrastructure, ERP and business applications
• Managing and optimising external IT service providers
• Implementing pragmatic IT security measures
• Initiating and supporting digitalisation and automation projects
• Translating business requirements into practical, cost-effective IT solutions
• Continuous improvement of stability, efficiency and cost structure

What this role stands for

• End-to-end responsibility for a lean, high-performing IT
• Active involvement in day-to-day operations – not purely management
• High level of personal accountability and room to shape
• Direct influence on efficiency, stability and cost-effectiveness
• Short decision-making paths and high visibility within the company

Your skills

A pragmatic leader with a clear focus on implementation, stability and measurable results.

The IT Manager is responsible for the entire IT landscape of a medium-sized company – from infrastructure through applications to support – and leads a team of four employees.

• Leader with a genuine hands-on mindset
• Broad IT understanding (infrastructure, applications, support, security)
• Experience in medium-sized companies or comparable structures
• Structured, solution-oriented working style with a sense of pragmatism
• Confident, professional presence towards management and departments
• Enjoys taking on operational responsibility and improving things sustainably

Core message

This role is for people who want to take responsibility, get their hands dirty and create tangible value – not through overengineering, but through consistently implementing simple, robust and cost-effective IT solutions.

What we offer

We are a medium-sized company with an international working environment, multinational teams and varied tasks. Besides short decision-making paths, our open-door policy and flat hierarchies, we also stand out through:

• 38-hour working week
• Innovative time model that gives us a 4-day week on a two-week cycle
• Permanent employment with performance-based and fair pay
• EGYM Wellpass
• ZIM employee referral programme
• Individual support for your professional development, e.g. through training and workshops
• Collegial atmosphere, reinforced by employee reviews, generous social spaces and company events (e.g. summer party, Christmas party or after-work events)
• Support for your work-life balance through mobile working and time off for special occasions
• Further benefits, such as 30 days of holiday, subsidies for company pension schemes, capital-forming benefits, free parking on the company premises and good transport links
