Vice President, Information Technology

DanceOne • New York, NY

1d • Remote

About The Position

Reporting directly to the CFO, the Vice President of Information Technology is DanceOne's most senior technology leader — a hands-on "mini-CTO/CIO" responsible for setting and executing technology strategy across a global, highly decentralized live-events business. You will own a broad, fast-growing technology environment that spans commercial platforms — Microsoft 365, NetSuite, Planful, Ramp, FloQast, Salesforce, ADP, Atlassian/Jira, Monday.com, Snowflake, and AWS, among others — alongside proprietary, in-house platforms for event registration, media distribution, and content production. Today, that environment includes overlapping tools, manual and spreadsheet-driven workflows, fragmented approvals and reporting, and inconsistent data quality. Your mandate is to bring strategy, structure, integration, and trustworthy data to the entire organization. You will lead one direct report — a skilled IT Operations Manager who also oversees the IT help desk — and partner closely with the CFO, executive leadership team, business-unit leaders, and outside vendors and consultants.
