• You bring projects to completion: You plan and lead the introduction and improvement of new systems – from ERP/WMS and CRM to webshops and product catalogues to interfaces – and coordinate internal stakeholders and external partners

• You strengthen your team: You lead and promote two employees in support and application responsibility, establish clear support processes and responsibilities, and actively pitch in with day-to-day business

• You simplify processes: You recognise where digital solutions and automations create real added value and support our employees through changes

What you bring with you

• A completed education or degree in computer science or a comparable qualification as well as solid IT expertise and good system understanding

• Enjoyment in leading a small team, motivating people, and developing solutions together

• Understanding of business processes and how important reliable IT is for daily logistics operations

• Clear, understandable communication and a strong customer and service orientation, initiative, sense of responsibility, and economic thinking. You set priorities, keep an eye on costs, and are keen to roll up your sleeves and make a difference in an SME environment

• Willingness to take on evening or weekend shifts in emergencies

What you can look forward to

• A key role with direct access to the CEO: You take on IT responsibility for our three companies, set priorities, and drive the further development of our IT

• Real building work with scope for design: There is much to build – from modern systems to clear processes to reliable structures. The management offers you plenty of freedom and support for this

• The chance to make a visible impact: If challenging tasks motivate you and you like taking responsibility, you can achieve a lot with us, implementing forward-looking IT solutions and actively shaping the digital future of our company

• Variety across three companies: You can expect different requirements, exciting projects, and insights into our operational processes

Then show us what drives you and what experience you bring – especially from your ERP project. We look forward to you and your application!
