Group CFO

DNK-Randers, Danish Crown Vej

Senior Business Consultant - Production IT 

Do you see yourself in a key role where you connect people, processes, and IT to drive business-critical change? If so, you might be our next Senior Business Consultant.

Production IT is part of Danish Crown’s Global IT department, headquartered in Randers. Global IT operates as a global IT competence center for both new and existing solutions, with more than 270 colleagues located in Denmark, Poland, Sweden, and Germany – approximately 150 of whom are based at our Randers HQ.

Success starts with a team

You will join a team of consultants and developers working on systems that keep production running efficiently and provide critical data and traceability - turning operational complexity into actionable insight. We are on a journey to simplify and standardise our production IT landscape, and we are looking for someone who wants to help shape that future.

At Danish Crown, we prioritize our employees, adapting roles and tasks to fit individual strengths and career aspirations. You will be part of an informal yet highly professional environment that values mutual trust, respect, responsibility, and good manners.

A strong advisor with great interpersonal skills

You’ll act as a trusted advisor, creating strong relationships across our global organization. You’ll work closely with business stakeholders and developers to shape solutions that make smarter ways of working on the shop floor, while creating transparency through data.

With sustainability, digitization, and operational excellence at the core, Danish Crown is undergoing an ambitious business transformation. Our department is the go-to partner when we innovate in one of our 50+ production sites - whether it's introducing new processes or technologies, increasing automation, replacing legacy systems, enhancing traceability with data, or tackling other complex challenges. We take ownership from start to finish - analyzing needs, proposing solutions, creating functional descriptions, and delivering full-scale development and implementation.

Your key responsibilities

• Lead or take part in business-critical projects and major/minor changes
• Facilitate workshops, lead dialogue, and challenge assumptions to reach the best outcomes
• Translate business challenges into clear functional specifications and communicate them to developers
• Conduct on-site factory analysis, train key users, and drive change management
• Plan and take part in testing with developers and end-users, including verification of deliverables
• Document deliverables clearly and effectively
• Facilitate handover of solutions to operations (support functions)
• Continuously improving our ways of working, making us smarter every day

Who are we looking for?

The ideal candidate is someone who demonstrates strong interpersonal and empathetic skills, enabling you to understand diverse needs, build trust, and foster engagement across specialists, developers, production personnel, and top management. You are equally confident navigating both strategic and hands-on tasks within a production IT environment and possess the ability to translate business needs into IT solutions that deliver genuine value.

You thrive in cross-functional teams and collaborative settings, maintaining focus and commitment even when change demands patience and alignment across multiple stakeholders. With a proactive mindset, you take ownership and drive progress - even in situations where not everything is clearly defined.

Experience in process analysis, IT development processes, or production IT (MES) is a clear advantage. You might also have a keen interest in exploring technical solutions, including IT/MES and OT systems such as PLC and SCADA.

We require you to be fluent in both English and Danish, while German language skills are considered a plus, though not mandatory.

You can expect approx. 10-30 travel days as projects require on-site presence.

What do we offer?

We offer flexibility in work hours and place, autonomy, and the chance to work in a team with great ambitions to digitalize and improve the shop floor. We care about your growth and career goals, and we’ll have an active focus on supporting your development.

We value a flat and informal culture where all voices matter and contributions are expected and appreciated – because the best solutions are created together. You’ll have the opportunity to influence and shape our production processes and how they are supported by IT.

Our modern HQ in Randers offers excellent facilities, including a fitness center, two padel courts, a food shop, and a great canteen with high-quality food (unsurprisingly!).

We look forward to hearing from you!
