Director of Information Technology

A High-Impact IT Leadership Role in a Commercial, Fast-Paced Retail & Manufacturing Business

Krispy Kreme UK & Ireland is seeking a commercially sharp, hands‑on IT Director to lead technology across retail, manufacturing, supply chain, e-commerce and corporate systems.

This is a visible and influential leadership role within a well-loved consumer brand – ideal for someone who thrives in lean environments and enjoys real ownership, accountability and commercial exposure.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Head of Supply Chain, you will:

• Lead the UK&I technology agenda
• Stabilise and strengthen a mixed legacy landscape
• Own SOX ITGC compliance end‑to‑end
• Drive disciplined, ROI‑focused investment decisions
• Lead a hybrid model of in‑house capability and outsourced partners

This role suits someone comfortable operating in environments where:

• Investment is carefully prioritised
• Legacy systems need practical improvement
• Controls and governance matter
• IT must deliver commercial value, not just technical change

What You’ll Do

• Develop a pragmatic technology roadmap focused on strengthening foundations
• Improve reliability and performance across retail, production and online platforms
• Strengthen integrations and data quality
• Own and enhance SOX ITGC controls
• Reduce key‑person dependency and knowledge risk
• Lead and develop a small specialist team
• Manage outsourced partners and drive accountability
• Support digital and e‑commerce initiatives (Magento platform)

What We’re Looking For

• Proven IT leadership in lean, commercially driven environments
• Retail and/or manufacturing exposure preferred
• Strong vendor and outsourced partner management
• Commercial mindset with disciplined investment thinking
• Hands‑on, pragmatic leadership style

This may particularly suit someone who has operated in a smaller, less structured business and is looking to step into a recognised brand with broader exposure and influence.

Secure Your Future
