About The Position

The Director of Information Technology will serve as the senior technology leader for our growing, multi-site, multi-region organization. This is a strategic yet hands-on role for a leader who can define the direction of our technology function and personally drive execution — building and operating a lean, high-performance IT function largely through managed vendors and partners. The Director will report to the Chief Financial Officer and will be a key contributor to our growth strategy, particularly as we continue to acquire and integrate new operating locations, automate KPI and data workflows, and mature our cybersecurity posture. We are not building a large IT department; we need a leader who rolls up their sleeves.
