Head of IT (m/f/x)

About Skeleton Technologies Skeleton Technologies is a global leader in critical power infrastructure for AI data centers and electrical grid stability, founded in 2009. Power today is more than electricity — it's national security, digital continuity, and economic resilience. Skeleton is the Backbone of Power: equipping AI data centers, electrical grids, defense systems, and critical infrastructure with the resilience to withstand surges, instability, and failure. Our power systems protect GPU clusters from millisecond-level spikes, enable hyperscalers to run at higher rack densities without grid compromise, and make AI data centers up to 40% more energy efficient. When power fails, critical operations stop. We exist to prevent that in microseconds — powering the infrastructure that powers everything else. Our mission is to enable a completely emissions-free future through electrification, achieved by developing and manufacturing the best ultracapacitors on the market. The role We're hiring a Head of IT to run Group IT across our sites in Estonia, Germany and Finland. You'll report to the CEO. The scope covers everything from strategy and the systems the business runs on, through to security, governance, vendors and the budget. The team covers IT support and infrastructure, ERP development, and IT project management. It's a small team with a wide scope — you'll lead it and stay close to the work at the same time.

If the shape of the team is wrong for what the business needs, say so and change it. Strategy and governance. Set the direction for Group IT and explain it in language the rest of the company uses. You decide how technology gets bought, built and run here — the standards, the policies, the service processes — and keep them light enough that people actually follow them. Infrastructure. Servers, networks, identity, endpoints, backup and recovery, and the collaboration platform, spread across several countries. It has to stay up and it has to stay secure. Security and compliance. Information security for the group is yours. You've taken a company through ISO 27001 or lived under it, and your GDPR knowledge comes from doing it, not reading about it. Customers in defence, aerospace and automotive audit their suppliers, and those assessments will land on your desk. We want security built into how IT works, not bolted on afterwards. AI. Fluency, not curiosity. You've put AI tools in front of a whole company and got people to use them, and built the governance that goes with that. You can tell useful AI from impressive AI, and you say which is which. Build-or-buy is a call you've made before — and anything built in-house still has to be run afterwards, so you price that in from the start. Business systems and data.
