About the role

Our IT is growing with the company fast, internationally, and across many sites. That is why we are expanding our IT organization and creating a new leadership level. As Head of IT Infrastructure, you own the technical backbone of our company worldwide: networks, data centers and cloud, compute and storage, identity and platform services, and the infrastructure at our production, test and laboratory sites.

You lead regionally based teams – existing ones that you integrate and develop, and new ones that you build. You turn locally grown solutions into a globally governed infrastructure with clear standards, dependable operations and the scalability our growth demands. This role is about shaping, not administering.

• Develop the global infrastructure strategy and roadmap and set binding standards and architectures for all sites
• Own the secure, stable and cost-effective operation of our infrastructure worldwide – including availability, capacity, monitoring, backup and recovery capability
• Lead and develop the regional infrastructure teams, build new teams and establish a shared operating and leadership culture across time zones
• Steer the infrastructure project portfolio – from network and cloud modernization to connecting new sites and integrating acquisitions
• Own budget, vendors and contracts in your area and ensure a sound balance of performance and cost
• Implement the requirements of our Head of Information Security technically and ensure audit readiness
• Work closely with Helpdesk & Service Support so that solid technology translates into a good service for our colleagues
• Act as the point of contact for site leadership, Production and R&D on all infrastructure requirements
