About De Heus

De Heus is one of the largest family businesses in the Netherlands, active in the animal feed industry, with a down-to-earth, pragmatic culture. No meeting culture, but short lines of communication. No complicated hierarchies, but trust in your expertise. Got a good idea? Show it. Convinced? Go ahead and execute it.

You will work in an international IT team of about 40 colleagues. The Cloud & Infra team consists of 16 members, including 4 engineers. Both English and Dutch are spoken on the work floor. You’ll be part of a team that values collaboration, personal contribution, development, and craftsmanship.

What we expect from you

This role is not for someone looking to only perform operational tasks. You will be challenged strategically, technically, and organizationally. Whether it’s about acquisitions, migrations, guiding local IT teams, or realizing hybrid cloud scenarios — you bring structure and oversight where others get lost in complexity.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has at least 5 years of experience with (hybrid) cloud and infrastructure environments, including Microsoft Azure and Windows Server.
• Is familiar with network technologies like SD-WAN (Fortinet), virtualization (Hyper-V), and scripting with PowerShell. Experience with IaC (DevOps/Infrastructure as Code) is a plus.
• Can independently and systematically execute projects, guide local IT teams, and analyze complex situations.
• Is willing to travel internationally when the work requires it.
• Communicates fluently in both Dutch and English, both verbally and in writing.
