Head of IT – lead our digital trans­form­a­tion

Are you ready to lead IT with purpose?

Join Impact Fund Denmark and lead our newly unified IT function - merging IT operations with application and data management into a collaborative, high-performing team that delivers secure, scalable, and business-aligned solutions.

Here, you will contribute to IT solutions that support impactful projects – from forestry in Paraguay to solar energy in Brazil and health clinics in Bangladesh.

By joining us, you will also get:

• the chance to execute the new IT vision for a leading impact investor
• responsibility for a growing IT department of 11 skilled colleagues
• a meaningful job where your work supports global development

A workplace where global impact meets ambitious IT goals

Impact Fund Denmark is the Danish development finance institution, investing in sustainable growth and high-impact solutions across the globe. With a mission to make a real difference, we fund transformative projects from renewable energy to health clinics.

You will be heading a growing IT department with 11 employees. In 2026, five new colleagues will be added to the team, and you will help shape the structure and lead the department in a new direction.

You lead the digital transformation from the front

This is your opportunity to take charge of a complex IT transformation. You will, for example, be responsible for:

• Leading the integration of IT operations and development
• Leading the recruitment of new IT team members
• Overseeing continuous infrastructure modernization
• Implementing ITIL-based service management practices
• Execute the new strategy in close collaboration with the T&O management team
• Building strong structures and a robust operating model
• Leading user adoption and change management

A flexible, friendly, and purposeful place to work

At Impact Fund Denmark, you will step into a culture defined by trust, collaboration, and shared purpose. Your new colleagues are helpful, engaged, and driven by the impact we create together. We support a healthy work-life balance – including one day of remote work per week – because we believe people thrive when they feel both empowered and supported.

Our new office on Østbanegade houses 170 employees from 24 different nationalities, making it a highly international and inclusive workplace.

You will be part of the Technology & Operations management team, which also consists of the SVP T&O, Head of Operations, Senior solution architect and Senior information security manager. You will report to the SVP of Technology & Operations.

Experienced leader with strong technical insight

You bring over five years of experience in leading both IT operations and development teams, and with a strong technical foundation you understand what it takes to lead IT professionals without being hands-on.

With your solid understanding of Microsoft enterprise tools and ability to lead complex projects, you will be well-positioned to guide the transformation.

Additionally, we imagine that you:

• have a strong background in Microsoft enterprise technologies (e.g. Azure and M365)
• are proficient in managing networks, servers, databases, and operating systems
• have experience overseeing continuous infrastructure modernization to ensure a scalable and secure infrastructure
• hold a relevant degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field
• are comfortable speaking and writing English professionally
• are an emphatic, grounded and experienced leader
• ideally have a background in the financial sector
