About The Position

NNRMLS is seeking a confident, hands-on IT leader to own technology operations and strategy for a small, highly collaborative organization serving real estate professionals across Northern Nevada. The Director of IT sits on the executive leadership team, reports directly to the CEO, and works as a peer alongside three other directors. This is a high-visibility role with no large team to manage: the director owns the work and its results. The director advises the CEO on technology, attends technology advisory and board meetings, represents NNRMLS with industry partners, and drives technology strategy from concept through execution. The role includes leading implementations, migrations, and integrations; managing vendor performance; and overseeing cybersecurity, disaster recovery, data licensing programs, APIs, and system integrations. The successful candidate communicates confidently with executive and board audiences, surfaces risks and barriers early, and makes clear, well-supported recommendations, including about emerging technologies such as AI. During the first 90 days, the director will learn the organization, industry, systems, vendors, and operations; attend board and technology advisory meetings alongside the CEO; and begin developing a perspective on organizational priorities. NNRMLS expects the new hire to be curious, organized, and ready to demonstrate an approach to the work early. Base salary is competitive and dependent on experience and qualifications. A strong benefits package is offered, and relocation assistance is available for the right candidate, with preference for Northern Nevada.

Requirements

5 to 12 years of progressive IT experience, with a track record of leading complex initiatives end to end.

Strong working knowledge of Microsoft 365, cloud services, networks, identity and access management, and SaaS applications.
Comfort working hands-on in a lean environment rather than delegating the work.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate technical issues into clear business decisions.
Experience managing vendors, technology projects, and cross-functional initiatives.
