• Track record of improving reliability, delivery discipline, and scale in a small or mid-sized organization.
• Experience leading internal staff as well as external vendors, contractors, or managed service partners.

Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day technology operations across infrastructure, business systems, internal IT, and application delivery.
• Oversee both infrastructure and applications, ensuring stability, scalability, security, and business alignment.
• Manage technology budgets across operating expenses and capital expenditures, including software, cloud, infrastructure, telecom, and technical services.
• Drive vendor management, renewal planning, cost optimization, and accountability for third-party partners and contractors.
• Build practical operating discipline for service delivery, change management, escalation, documentation, and release coordination.
• Partner with operations, finance, and executive leadership to prioritize initiatives that improve visibility, efficiency, and growth.
