The Recipe for Success: Role Summary
The Head of IT, Europe leads the technology agenda for the European region and acts as the primary IT Business Partner to European business leadership. The role owns the Managing Director relationship and regional demand — the “why” — building relationships, shaping the regional roadmap, and setting priorities. It delivers through the global solution verticals (Retail, ERP, Supply Chain) and the CTO organisation, which own the functional solutions and the underlying architecture, integration, and engineering standards. The result is a single, accountable regional leader who balances local business reality against global consistency, driving delivery and adoption across the region.

- Strong delivery and portfolio management background across enterprise applications (ERP, Retail / POS, Supply Chain) and cross-functional programmes.
