Protodigy

Forget the Caretaker Roles. Step Into the Crucible of a €1.2 Billion Trajectory.

Let us dispense with the usual corporate pleasantries. If your idea of leadership is merely keeping the lights on whilst merging pull requests in your pyjamas five days a week, look away now.

We at Protodigy are acting on behalf of a privately held, family‑owned Lower Bavarian behemoth. They are the undisputed market leader in their consumer goods segment, currently turning over €1.2 billion, with their crosshairs firmly locked on the €2 billion mark. They do not need a middle manager to maintain the status quo. They need a visionary Team Lead Development for Microsoft Dynamics BC / NAV.

This is not a role for the faint‑hearted; it is a mandate to engineer the digital nervous system of an enterprise spanning 49 international subsidiaries.

The Reality of the Tapestry We Are Weaving

You will not be hidden behind layers of bureaucracy. Here, the hierarchy is fiercely flat, the culture is decisively informal (a staunch Du-culture), and your direct line of sight includes the Head of ERP and the IT Board.

You will inherit and sculpt a distributed, cross‑site team of 18 developers and administrators. Your canvas? Green‑field international Business Central rollouts, bespoke Core Apps (Purchasing, Logistics, Sales, Service, Finance), and a sprawling architecture that demands absolute stability, security, and uncompromising data integrity.

Let’s address the elephant in the room: This role is anchored in Landau an der Isar, Germany. You will have the flexibility of up to two days of remote work per week, but true leadership demands a presence. You cannot build a high‑performance, family‑spirited engineering culture exclusively through a webcam. We want a decisive, conflict‑resilient strategist who thrives in the room where it happens.

The Arsenal You Must Possess

We are not interested in hypothetical expertise. To command this room, your pedigree must be undeniable:

• A minimum of 5 years of hands‑on, trench‑tested development and administration within Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC / NAV.
• Absolute fluency in AL, C/AL, Extensions, Visual Studio Code, MS‑SQL, Azure DevOps / Git, and PowerShell.
• You must command both German and English at a B2 level or higher. Negotiation, coaching, and board‑level alignment demand nothing less.
• Proven project experience within sprawling ERP environments, with a bonus if you bring Azure Services, Power Platform, and Agile (Scrum/Kanban) battle scars.
• You are communicative, deeply collaborative, yet entirely unafraid to make the hard, fast decisions required to scale.

The Spoils of the Victor

In exchange for your stewardship of their global BC landscape, our client offers a package designed to secure elite talent:

• Financial Command: A base salary of up to €100,000 gross p.a., heavily bolstered by a 15-20% annual bonus, bringing your Target OTE to highly competitive heights.
• Autonomy & Rest: Trust‑based, flexible working hours (40‑hour week) and 30 days of annual holiday.
• Continuous Evolution: Access to a bespoke, extensive in‑house Academy for your professional mastery.
• The Environment: Subsidised culinary offerings, an in‑house fitness studio, commuting allowances, and a culture that celebrates its victories together.

The Crucible: How You Will Be Evaluated

We do not believe in dragging elite candidates through gruelling, endless interview loops. We respect your time.

• Phase I: The Chemistry Check. A sharp, 30-minute virtual Microsoft Teams introduction with the Hiring Manager to establish cultural alignment and mutual intent.
• Phase II: The Deep Dive. An on‑site summit in Landau an der Isar. This is where you will demonstrate your technical depth, leadership philosophy, and strategic foresight.
• Phase III: The Offer. Swift, decisive, and final.
