  • Partner closely with cybersecurity and engineering to support secure and reliable operations
  • Plan and manage IT budgets, vendor contracts, and license renewals
  • Evaluate and implement automation tools and scalable tech solutions to support rapid headcount growth
  • 7+ years of IT experience, with at least 2-3 in leadership
  • Track record of building or significantly improving IT orgs during growth phases
  • Strong familiarity with SaaS management, identity access, endpoint security, and basic infrastructure (VPNs, networks, firewalls), inclusive of Energy Storage Systems
  • Comfortable being both strategic and hands-on
  • Experience with cloud-first, remote-friendly environments is a plus
  • Excellent communicator and cross-functional partner
  • Experience in manufacturing, energy, or hardware-software environments
