The Role
Sofina Foods is looking for an ambitious, forward-thinking Applications Manager to take ownership of our evolving technology landscape and help lead the next chapter of our IT journey.
This role offers more than just oversight of systems – it’s an opportunity to influence how technology supports and drives our business. You’ll lead a team responsible for critical applications across ERP, factory systems, and corporate platforms, while bringing structure, governance, and a continuous improvement mindset to everything we do.
We're looking for someone who’s ready to step into a bigger leadership role over time – someone who sees this as a platform for growth, with a clear runway ahead.

As Applications Manager, you will:
* Own and lead a wide-ranging application portfolio including ERP, shop floor, and other key business systems
* Ensure all development and enhancement activity is delivered through structured, well-governed processes
* Support the growth and evolution of the Applications function, with opportunities to shape its structure and expand capability
* Act as a key bridge between technology and the wider business, ensuring systems support user needs and long-term goals
* Play a critical role in developing the team’s capabilities and ways of working – helping build a future-ready IT function
* Work closely with the IT Director and senior stakeholders, with exposure to high-level decision-making and strategy
The Ideal Candidate
This is a role for someone who’s not just looking for their next job, but their next chapter:
* A natural people leader – confident in building, shaping, and inspiring a team
* Technically fluent – able to understand how systems integrate and support business process
* Ambitious and future-focused – ready to grow into broader IT leadership responsibilities
* Organised, structured, and improvement-led – always looking for smarter, better ways of working
* Strong on communication and collaboration, with credibility across all levels of the business
We’re open on background. What matters most is your potential to grow, your mindset, and your ability to lead through influence and initiative.
Why Sofina Foods?
* A senior role with real impact – and clear potential for long-term progression
* A chance to shape a critical IT function at the heart of a complex, dynamic business
* Exposure to a broad portfolio of systems and technologies
* A values-driven culture where ambition, initiative, and people leadership are genuinely recognised
* A leadership team committed to developing future talent and succession from within
