Director of IT Operations & Engineering – MSP

Leapfrog Services, Inc.Brookhaven, GA
$125,000 - $150,000Onsite

About The Position

Leapfrog Services is seeking a Director of IT Operations & Engineering to lead technical operations across our Managed Service Provider (MSP) and Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) environment. This senior technical leadership role oversees multiple functions, including Network Operations (NOC), Security Operations (SOC), Support Engineering, Infrastructure, Cloud, Endpoint Management, and Project Delivery. Reporting to the COO, the Director will bring these technical teams together as a more coordinated organization, strengthen operational and technical leadership, and help advance Leapfrog’s Centers of Excellence (CoE) operating model. The Director will also work closely with Client Experience & Service Delivery leadership to improve communication and execution across technical and client-facing teams. We are looking for more than a general operations leader. The right person combines broad technical expertise with strong operational and organizational leadership. They understand how infrastructure, networking, cloud, cybersecurity, endpoint, engineering, and managed services intersect and can engage credibly with experienced technical leaders. This is a leadership role rather than an individual-contributor engineering position, but technical depth is essential. The successful candidate will know how to lead through managers, strengthen cross-functional collaboration and accountability, and improve technical operations within the pace and complexity of an MSP/MSSP environment.

  • Co-managed IT experience

Responsibilities
