Job Description

We're looking for IT Director - a leader who is as comfortable in a business steering meeting as in an architecture review. You will lead DXE in Gdańsk and Hamburg and be accountable for both sides of the digital channel: what we build for customers and how well we build it.

Digital Customer Experience & Engineering (DXE) is part of Hapag-Lloyd’s Commercial IT organisation. We build and run the company’s digital customer channel: the Online Business Suite (quotation, booking, documentation and eBL, tracking, invoicing and others), the hapag-lloyd.com website and the mobile apps. For more than 300000 customers worldwide, this is the main way they do business with Hapag-Lloyd.

DXE has about 100 people in Gdańsk and Hamburg and works closely with colleagues in India. That includes 9+ cross-functional product teams, each led jointly by a product manager and a team leader so that business and engineering decisions are made together, an in-house UX team (product design, research, design system) and platform and developer-experience specialists. We own around 40 products, build on Scala, Vue and AWS, and use AI in daily work across the whole delivery process.

Responsibilities

Product and business

  • Set DXE’s strategy and roadmap together with business product-line owners and Commercial IT leadership
  • Run the product portfolio: priorities, investment decisions and value tracking
  • Turn commercial goals (more digital bookings, fewer service cases, higher NPS) into product KPIs and OKRs
  • Represent the digital channel in business forums, and challenge requests with data when needed

Engineering and delivery

  • Own the DXE technology stack and architecture, working with Enterprise Architecture and the FIS3 core-system teams
  • Shorten time-to-market and improve predictability, measured with DORA and product KPIs
  • Keep high standards for security and reliability across around 40 products
  • Scale AI-native work from assisted coding to AI across the whole lifecycle, from discovery to monitoring

People

  • Lead about 100 engineers, designers and product people through a team of leaders across sites
  • Develop leaders who combine business understanding with engineering depth

You’ll be reporting to Senior IT Director – Head of Tech Center in Gdańsk and Managing Director – Commercial IT in Hamburg.

Qualifications

  • 12+ years in software product development including:8+ years of leading others, 5+ years leading leaders (managers of employees) in an organisation of 30-100 people
  • A strong engineering foundation: you have engineering experience, can challenge architectural decisions, act as a credible discussion partner for engineers and technical stakeholders, and have a solid understanding of different systems and architectures.
  • Hands-on experience leading AI adoption across an engineering organisation, with an understanding that the gains come from changing the process, not only from rolling out tools
  • A track record of running a product operating model: empowered cross-functional teams, product managers who own outcomes, and portfolio decisions made with the business
  • Experience with customer-facing digital products at scale, ideally B2B platforms, e-commerce or self-service portals, with results you can show in business metrics
  • Management by data: OKRs, DORA metrics, NPS and value tracking used to make decisions, not only to report
  • Experience influencing senior stakeholders in a matrix organisation that spans several sites and cultures
  • Fluent English
  • Nice to have: experience in logistics, shipping, banking or another transaction-heavy B2B domain

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
