Do you want to take the overall responsibility for Palsgaard’s global IT organisation and digital agenda? Reporting to the Group CFO, you will play a key role in shaping the future technology landscape, digital capabilities and operating model across an international organisation with operations around the world.

Head of Global IT & Digitalization with Global Responsibility and Significant Influence
At Palsgaard, we are entering an exciting phase of growth and digital transformation. The foundations are already in place. A strong IT organisation, a mature cybersecurity platform and an ongoing global Microsoft Dynamics 365 rollout provide a solid platform for the future.

As Head of Global IT & Digitalization, you will lead an international IT organisation of approximately 25 colleagues and work closely with Executive Management, regional stakeholders and business leaders across our organisation. You will be responsible for shaping the strategy, setting priorities and ensuring that technology continues to support Palsgaard’s ambitious growth plans.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Defining and executing Palsgaard’s global IT and digitalization strategy
• Translating strategic ambitions into clear roadmaps across digitalization, AI, automation and data
• Leading and developing the global IT organisation
• Driving digital transformation and strengthening IT’s role as a strategic business partner

• Ensuring secure, stable and efficient global IT operations
• Prioritising technology investments and identifying new opportunities to support future growth and competitiveness

Business-Oriented IT Leader with International Experience
You are an experienced IT leader with a strong business orientation and a passion for creating value through technology. You have worked in an international environment and understand the complexity of supporting a global organisation across countries, cultures and business functions.

You combine strategic thinking with a hands-on approach and thrive in organisations characterised by short decision-making paths, high responsibility and a pragmatic approach to execution. Experience from manufacturing or other operationally complex environments will be advantageous.

As a leader, you are visible, approachable and able to create followership across all levels of the organisation. You build trust quickly, foster collaboration and know how to create commitment around change and transformation initiatives.

Join a Company with a Strong DNA and Core Values
This role offers the opportunity to join a financially strong, foundation-owned company with a unique combination of global complexity and organisational agility. Palsgaard operates internationally while maintaining short decision-making paths, a collaborative culture and a strong focus on long-term value creation.

You will work closely with the Group CFO and Executive Management and enjoy a high degree of autonomy, influence and freedom to shape the future direction of IT and digitalization. At the same time, you will become part of a company characterised by loyalty, responsibility, commitment and the “Heart Working People” culture that defines Palsgaard.
