Demonstrated success in a product-engineering partnership model in an agile delivery environment; deep familiarity with scrum and related agile practices.
Broad operational technology leadership — comfortable spanning engineering, infrastructure, support, and data operations.
Strong people leadership track record; ability to build, develop, and retain high-performing technical teams.
Excellent partnership and communication skills; able to build trust with product, business, and executive stakeholders.
Comfortable operating within established architecture standards and governance frameworks; views standards as enabling rather than constraining.
Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools and a genuine interest in driving adoption of AI capabilities within engineering and support teams.
Bachelor's degree in Management of Information Systems, or related field.
Must reside in one of the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin.

Responsibilities

Lead the product engineering organization — comprising the development team and scrum masters — in a disciplined agile delivery model, ensuring that teams are organized, empowered, and capable of executing reliably against the product roadmap.
Partner with the VP of Product to translate roadmap priorities into engineering team capacity, sprint plans, and delivery commitments; maintain a transparent and honest view of delivery capacity and velocity.
Own the engineering delivery process, including sprint cadence, release management, code quality standards, and continuous integration and deployment practices.
Ensure that engineering work is initiated in consultation with the VP of Enterprise Architecture and Governance for any initiative that introduces new technology patterns, integrations, data models, or AI capabilities.
Develop engineering talent — identifying growth opportunities, providing technical leadership pathways, and supporting the developer rotation program through which engineers embed in the architecture function.
Oversee the platform and infrastructure team, ensuring reliable, performant, and secure infrastructure across cloud, network, and end-user computing environments.
Drive cloud infrastructure maturity in partnership with the VP of Enterprise Architecture and Governance, ensuring that infrastructure patterns conform to established architecture standards.
Own infrastructure cost management, capacity planning, and vendor relationships for infrastructure services.
Ensure the infrastructure environment is capable of supporting the AI compute and data platform requirements that the AI technology program will introduce.
Lead the internal systems and support organization, transitioning the internal applications team from a primarily administrative function toward a business systems engineering capability that customizes and extends internal applications to meet the company's specific operational needs.
Own the end-user technology experience, including hardware, software, and support services for the workforce.
Partner with business function leaders to understand internal technology needs and prioritize internal systems investment accordingly.
Drive the adoption of AI-assisted support and automation tools that improve support team efficiency and end-user experience.
Lead the data and integration team — comprising data engineers and the integration engineer — in building and maintaining the data pipelines and system integrations that the business depends on.
Ensure that data engineering and integration work is executed in conformance with the data architecture and integration standards established by the VP of Enterprise Architecture and Governance.
Manage the operational data infrastructure, including pipeline reliability, data freshness, and integration availability.
Own the operational health of all technology systems — uptime, performance, incident management, and disaster recovery — and maintain transparent reporting to the COO and executive team.
Participate actively in the technology governance process established by the VP of Enterprise Architecture and Governance; ensure that the delivery organization understands and respects architecture standards, and surfaces conflicts between delivery requirements and standards promptly rather than resolving them unilaterally.
Own the IT budget, vendor relationships, and technology procurement for the delivery and operations functions.
Build and develop a high-performing IT leadership team, providing functional managers with clear mandates, development support, and accountability frameworks.
Recruit and retain engineering and operations talent; maintain a culture of craftsmanship, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
Serve as a credible technology voice in executive discussions, representing the delivery organization's capacity, constraints, and opportunities clearly and honestly.
