IT Manager

Your Role

As IT Manager, you oversee the development, performance, and security of our IT landscape. You are responsible for the in-house custom-built Back Office application (ERP/transactional), our trading platform The SWEX, and key business systems including Microsoft 365, Business Central, and our CRM.

You lead a compact international team (3 internal and external colleagues across the Netherlands, Scotland, and Turkey) and coordinate with external partners for office automation and infrastructure support. This is a hands-on leadership role that requires both strategic thinking and operational involvement.

You ensure compliance with regulations and IT security standards, including the recurring EDP/IT audit. As solution and enterprise architect, you translate business needs into a scalable technology roadmap, directly contributing to the organization’s growth goals.

Close collaboration with departments such as Finance, HR, Procurement & Logistics, Portfolio Management, Sales, Hospitality, and Marketing is key. With ongoing expansion — including a future Scottish office — and constant refinement of our strategies based on client feedback and market developments, we seek a proactive leader who anticipates and builds for the future.
