"Transferred to the position of IT Director" or "transferred to the position of an IT Director"? Or even "the IT Director"? (I don't know for sure how many IT Directors are there at that company, but suppose there is only one.)

has become head of IT
"position of" is not needed in English, and I'm not sure about "director".

: "has become the head of IT department"? / Well, yes, "the" should be before the IT department. I believe your answer (without position and director) is the best here.

possibly, but the definite article is in the wrong place: has become head of the IT department (don't ask me why)! Also the trend is to shorter job titles.

: "has become head of IT" has slightly different meaning even if it is a correct wording. An IT director is responsible for the management, strategy and execution of IT infrastructure for an organization. A prsn who is jobless at that time could become head

Agreed, but we don't know what sort of transfer it is, so I'm inclined to omit it.

| For some weird reason "transferred <...> as IT director" sounded to me at first like "the person has been transferred because he/she is an IT director", not "to be an IT director". But now that I gave it a thought it makes sense. Thank you! |

was appointed the IT director
There ought to be just one such director, and appoint is general enough to avoid confusion regarding the manner of being installed in that position.

Discussion
And we can't omit anything here. Why? Because, here *должность* of that company is highlighted. What kind of position? Position as an IT director. Company has many positions. Among them which position? Position as an IT director. I agree with David, we don't really know he or she has been promoted or degraded. So I think "transfer" works in here.
