IT director to Camurus

Are you ready to take on a strategic IT Director role in a science-led, international biopharmaceutical company? Camurus is entering an exciting phase of growth, global expansion, and future acquisitions. As IT Director, you will shape a scalable, secure, and compliant IT landscape that actively enables the business - today and long term. This is not a role barely focused on keeping the lights on. This is a role where you will set direction, challenge the business when needed, and build an IT organization that can support rapid growth in a highly regulated environment. Combining strategic leadership with operational understanding, you will act as a trusted partner to both business and finance.

What will you do as IT Director? As IT Director at Camurus, you take overall ownership of the company’s IT strategy, architecture, and delivery, ensuring alignment with business goals and future growth ambitions. The role is strategic at its core, while requiring enough technical depth to make informed decisions and guide the organization effectively. Your responsibilities include, among others:

Defining and driving the global IT strategy and roadmap together with the CFO

Ensuring a secure, scalable, and fully cloud-based IT environment

Overall accountability for IT security, cybersecurity, and IT policies

Ensuring compliance with relevant regulations (GxP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EMA, GDPR, NIS2)

Leading and developing the IT organization, including internal teams and external partners

Managing key vendors, MSPs, SaaS providers, and enterprise applications

Owning the IT and AI budget, including investments, costs, and ROI

Enabling scalability for acquisitions, new products, and international expansion

Defining how AI is used safely, compliantly, and with clear business value across the organization

Who are we looking for? We are looking for an experienced and intellectually strong IT Director who can make complex environments understandable and actionable. You combine strategic perspective with hands-on understanding and thrive in organizations characterized by growth, change, and high expectations. We believe that you:

Have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in IT or a related field

Bring solid senior experience from IT operations, IT security, and IT strategy

Have experience from regulated, compliance-driven environments and understand how to balance innovation with regulatory requirements

Are used to scaling systems and processes in growing organizations

Have a strong understanding of Microsoft-based environments

Are a confident leader with a business-oriented and proactive mindset

Have a genuine interest in emerging technologies within infrastructure, security, automation, and AI

Experience from life science is meriting but not required. Backgrounds from other highly regulated industries such as medtech, food, defense, or similar are highly relevant.
