Director of IT

Gymreapers • Nampa, ID

6d • Onsite

About The Position

This is a builder's role. Gymreapers is scaling fast, and we need someone who wants to create the systems, controls, and processes that will carry this company through its next phase of growth, not just maintain what's already there. You'll have real ownership over how technology gets built and run here, with the latitude to shape it from the ground up. The Director of IT leads technology operations at a senior level, managing infrastructure, systems, vendors, and security for the entire company. You'll define where IT needs to go, set the policies and controls that don't exist yet, and own the budget and roadmap that gets us there. You'll also partner closely with some genuinely excellent people across the business, Product, eCommerce, Operations, Finance, and more, who move fast and expect the same from the people they work with. This is both a strategic and hands-on role. You'll think in roadmaps and long-term architecture, but you'll also be close enough to the systems and the team to execute when it matters. If you're energized by building something from a lean foundation, and by partnering with sharp, high-ownership people to get it right, this role was built for you.
