IT Infrastructure and Operations Lead

We are looking for an experienced IT Infrastructure and Operations Lead to take responsibility for our European region. In this role, you will drive and coordinate IT infrastructure initiatives across Europe while collaborating closely with our global team.

About the Role

As IT Infrastructure and Operations Lead, you will take a central role in ensuring robust and efficient IT operations across Europe. In this position, you will act as the primary point of contact and product owner for key infrastructure services, which may include cloud platforms such as Azure, on-premise solutions like VMware, workplace device management, end-user computing, directory services, and productivity tools such as Microsoft 365, email, and file services.

You will lead and coordinate the European IT Infrastructure and Operations team, working closely with external suppliers to guarantee smooth daily operations, lifecycle management, project delivery, and end-user support for Cambrex sites throughout the region. At the same time, you will collaborate with our global IT team to develop and implement standardized infrastructure solutions, while also engineering tailored solutions to support application value streams.

This role requires balancing operational responsibilities with long-term strategic initiatives in technology and security. You will manage multiple projects, define scope and objectives for technology-driven improvements, and ensure effective execution even in high-pressure situations. Additionally, you will take ownership of coordinating and driving external partners within your area of responsibility, ensuring alignment with our goals and standards

You will be based in Karlskoga and work in a truly international environment. Occasional travel within Europe is required.

Your Profile

To succeed in this role, you bring a solid foundation of experience and leadership. You have spent at least three years in a leadership position and possess seven years of hands-on expertise within IT infrastructure. Managing operational and project budgets is second nature to you, and if you have worked in GxP environments or within a SAFe Agile organization, that's a strong advantage.

Your academic background includes a bachelor's degree in information systems, computer science, or a related field, or you have equivalent professional experience that demonstrates your capability. Communication is one of your strengths; you are confident in both English and Swedish, written and spoken. Finally, Swedish citizenship is required for this position.

What We Offer

A dynamic and strategic role in a global organization where you will have the opportunity to influence and develop future IT infrastructure. You will join a skilled and collaborative team committed to excellence.
