About the Role

We’re looking for an IT Manager who can lead and grow a capable, motivated team, not just a great technical mind, but someone who knows how to communicate, influence, and deliver through others.

This is a hands on management role where you’ll balance technical oversight with people leadership, driving performance, collaboration, and digital innovation across the business.

You’ll work closely with departments across Prima to ensure our IT systems, Salesforce platform, and infrastructure are robust, efficient, and aligned with business goals.

Is this you?

• A confident communicator who can translate complex IT concepts into plain English.
• Experienced in leading IT teams and managing performance, workload, and development.
• Skilled in Salesforce administration, SQL, and general IT systems management.
• Comfortable working across production, office, and logistics environments.
• Passionate about continuous improvement, team development, and digital transformation.
• Not afraid to get hands on whether that’s configuring systems, supporting projects.

In this role, you will:

• Manage, mentor, and develop the IT team to ensure high performance and growth.
• Oversee Salesforce administration, reporting, and integrations.
• Manage databases and systems, ensuring stability, efficiency, and compliance (GDPR, ISO27001).
• Collaborate with managers across departments to design and improve digital processes.
• Lead on IT service management, cybersecurity, and business continuity initiatives.
• Support the IT Director with strategy delivery and technology roadmaps.
• Foster a culture of teamwork, accountability, and innovation.

What You’ll Bring

• Degree or equivalent in Information Technology, Computer Science or related field.
• Proven experience managing IT teams and systems in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong Salesforce and SQL knowledge.
• Broad technical understanding of infrastructure, networking, cloud, and cybersecurity.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with the ability to balance detail and strategy.
• Ideally, experience within food manufacturing or production environments.
