Stelfox is partnering with a growing/scaling web/eCommerce platform provider to find a hands‑on Head of IT who can own their corporate IT and Information Security environments.
The company already has a presence in Ireland/Dublin (non-tech) as their EMEA headquarter and has doubled in size to 20+ staff with the focus on hiring their Head of IT and other tech hires in Ireland moving forward as the company extends their North American customers present into EMEA & APAC.
This is a hands‑on role as the Corporate IT team is small in size with a Director of ERP Systems, IT Solutions Architect, IT Manager, so we are looking for individuals that are not afraid of a fast‑paced growing environment as this is not a Head of IT role with a large corporate organisation with a large IT operations. However, what this role is a high impact role as you will report to CEO/co‑founder and get the chance to take on ownership of all IT & Information security across global operations (U.S, EMEA, APAC).
High level role overview:
You will be responsible for data security governance, IT Infrastructure, Cloud Ops and technology service delivery across global operations.
Own the company's information security program (Key requirement) - ISO 27001
Own IT infrastructure, tooling and operational support landscape that underpins the business.
Partner with a peer director who owns the ERP & Warehouse management systems for the business so there is collaboration to ensure enterprise systems and IT infrastructure operate as a unified, secure and scalable technology function.
Own and manage the ISO 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS) end‑to‑end - including scope definition, risk assessment methodology, Statement of Applicability (SoA), control implementation, internal audit program, and management review cycles.
Drive ISO 27001 certification readiness and maintain ongoing compliance: lead surveillance audits, recertification cycles, corrective action tracking, and continuous improvement of ISMS controls.
Own regulatory compliance posture including SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, and industry‑specific requirements; lead audit preparation and remediation.
Experience required
10+ years of progressive IT leadership experience in enterprise environments with exposure to ERP and WMS platforms (as owner, stakeholder, or infrastructure partner).
5+ years of hands‑on responsibility for data security governance, compliance programs, and risk management.
Direct experience managing an ISO 27001 ISMS program - must have led or co‑led at least one full certification cycle and managed ongoing surveillance/recertification audits and enforcement.
Experience managing IT operations across multiple geographies - international experience required.
3+ years managing and developing IT teams of 5+ direct and indirect reports.
Working fluency/exposure of enterprise ERP platforms (e.g. NetSuite, SAP Business One, Sage Intacct, Odoo, Microsoft Dynamics)
Familiarity with WMS platforms and warehouse technology (barcode systems, pick/pack/ship workflows, 3PL integrations) from an infrastructure and security perspective.
Deep operational knowledge of ISO 27001 ISMS lifecycle: risk treatment plans, Annex A controls mapping, internal audit execution, nonconformity management, and management review reporting. Fluency in complementary frameworks (NIST CSF, SOC 2, CIS Controls) required.
Experience with cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, or Azure) including networking, IAM, and security configurations.
Education & Certifications
Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field (Master's preferred).
Industry certifications preferred: ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor, CISSP, CISM, CISA, ITIL Foundation, or equivalent.
NOTE
the company use Google Workspace, Mac devices, Slack etc internally so there corporate IT is not Microsoft and they run their platform product on Google Cloud (GCP).
This is an opportunity to come in and own enterprise IT for the organisation as the company continues to grow in the future. This role will require some occasional travel, 10‑15% to other office locations however the CEO and others spend significant time periods based in Ireland as they work between Ireland and the U.S.
If you are a Senior IT Manager / Head of IT or equivalent that has directly owned and driven a data security program and ISO 27001 accreditation then this could be right up your street.
