Clemens Food Group is looking for a Vice President of IT & Information Systems to shape the future of our technology landscape, driving innovation, scalability, and business alignment across the enterprise. This is a high-impact leadership role with visibility at the executive level and a clear path to the Senior Leadership Team.

You won’t just run IT—you’ll transform it.

About Clemens Food Group

For more than 125 years, Clemens Food Group has been guided by a simple principle: do the right thing. As a family-owned, fully integrated food company, we operate across the entire supply chain—from raising livestock to delivering finished products.

  • Set and execute the enterprise IT strategy and roadmap aligned to business growth
  • Define and lead the organization’s AI implementation strategy, including identifying use cases, prioritizing investments, and driving adoption across business functions

  • Oversee infrastructure, enterprise systems (SAP), vendor relationships, and governance
  • Identify gaps, simplify complexity, and elevate systems toward best-in-class performance
  • Represent IT in executive discussions, customer engagements, and strategic planning

What Success Looks Like

  • You quickly assess the current state and identify opportunities to elevate IT maturity
  • You bring clarity to complexity—making systems and strategy accessible to the business
  • You deliver major initiatives on time, on budget, and with strong adoption
  • You build trust across the organization through transparency, partnership, and results

What You Bring

  • Proven executive leadership experience in IT / IS (CIO, CTO, or VP-level)
  • Strong track record of enterprise transformation and strategic execution
  • Experience with SAP and modern enterprise systems (JDA, AI exposure a plus)
  • Ability to lead through influence, develop talent, and drive accountability
  • Business acumen with a mindset of continuous improvement and ownership

Why This Role

  • High ownership & autonomy with direct executive visibility
  • Opportunity to modernize and scale IT in a growing organization
