IT Manager

Own IT. Drive Change. Make an Impact. Ready to own IT rather than just manage it?

We’re looking for a hands-on IT Manager to become the go-to technology lead for our Dewsbury operation. This is a role for someone who enjoys variety, autonomy, and making a visible impact — not sitting behind the scenes.

You’ll take charge of ERP and reporting, lead a new Microsoft CRM implementation, and act as the bridge between systems and operations. It’s a true business-facing role in a manufacturing and wholesale environment where technology directly drives performance.

We need a practical, commercially aware generalist — someone comfortable wearing multiple hats and taking real ownership. Business Central experience is a bonus, but mindset and capability matter more.

If you want a role where you can shape systems, influence decisions, and see the results of your work — this is it.

  • IT Manager
  • Dewsbury (2–3 days per week onsite)
  • £55,000 – £70,000

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Act as the IT lead and trusted business partner for the Dewsbury site
  • Take ownership of IT systems, processes and continuous improvement
  • Support and optimise ERP systems (ideally Microsoft Business Central)
  • Build and enhance reporting to support operational and commercial decisions
  • Lead the implementation of a new Microsoft CRM system
  • Oversee core IT projects and coordinate with group IT and external partners
  • Support operational systems across stock, purchasing, works orders, warehouse and related functions
  • Maintain a strong weekly on-site presence to support stakeholders
This is a broad, hands-on role — ideal for someone who enjoys being embedded in the business rather than operating at arm’s length.

What We’re Looking For:
  • Experience as an IT Manager, IT Business Partner, or senior IT lead
  • A background in manufacturing, supply chain, wholesale or B2B environments
  • ERP system experience (Ideally Business Central)
  • Strong reporting capability (Power BI, SQL, ERP reporting etc.)
  • Confidence managing stakeholders across operations and leadership
This is a high-ownership, high-impact role within a growing group structure — perfect for an IT generalist who wants more influence, more autonomy, and a broader remit.
