Head of IT
Are you ready to set the direction for and lead the IT organisation that supports a growing international business – while making the world love liquorice?
As Head of IT at LAKRIDS BY BÜLOW, you will have overall responsibility for our IT organisation and infrastructure. You will define the long-term direction, ensure operational stability, and develop a scalable and secure IT landscape that supports the entire business. This is a role with broad responsibility, combining strategic oversight with hands-on involvement where needed.
We are looking for a Head of IT who combines leadership, structure, and strong technological insight, and who understands how solid IT foundations enable growth, efficiency, and quality across our three business pillars: Own Retail, E-commerce, and B2B.
Our IT organisation today
The IT organisation is built around three core areas:
ERP Business
Digital Operations
IT infrastructure
The department currently consists of a small number of employees and several external freelancers and consultants, including infrastructure and AD specialists. One of your tasks is to create the right mix of internal competencies and external partnerships to meet business needs. A central priority in the near future will be the upgrade to a new ERP platform, for which you will have overall responsibility.
Your role
As Head of IT, you will set the direction for our entire IT landscape and ensure that systems, infrastructure, and governance work reliably and efficiently across the business.
Your main responsibilities include:
Define and implement the IT strategy in close collaboration with senior leadership.
Lead and develop the IT team with a focus on structure, collaboration, and clear priorities.
Ensure stable, secure, and scalable IT operations across stores, e-commerce, B2B, and headquarters.
Act as the primary IT business partner, ensuring technology supports growth and innovation.
Coordinate and optimise collaboration with external IT vendors and partners.
Drive IT security, governance, and compliance initiatives.

System landscape
We operate a modern and integrated system landscape supporting all business areas, including:
ERP: Microsoft Navision (upcoming upgrade)
Retail: Sitoo
E-commerce: BigCommerce
Wholesale: Sana
DTC CRM: Voyado
You will have overall responsibility for ensuring that these – and other systems – are well integrated, reliable, and aligned with business needs, together with the IT team.

Proven experience leading IT teams and working with external vendors.
Strong understanding of ERP systems, integrations, and enterprise IT infrastructure.
Experience with IT security, governance, and compliance.
The ability to communicate clearly and create alignment across functions.
