About the Role:

We are seeking a Senior Director of Information Technology to lead the full spectrum of internal technology at a high-growth AI infrastructure company. This role oversees three core functions: IT Service Desk (end-user support and service delivery), IT Systems Engineering (infrastructure, networking, and systems administration), and Enterprise Technology (business system administration, vendor management, and platform configuration). This is an opportunity to lead a technology organization at a company that is itself building the infrastructure that makes AI possible.

What You'll Be Working On:

• Lead a technology organization spanning service desk, infrastructure, and business systems, with direct reports at the Director and Senior Manager level.

• Define and own the multi-year enterprise technology roadmap — assessing current architecture, forming a clear technical opinion on the target state, and guiding technical teams and business stakeholders toward alignment and execution against that vision.

• Champion AI adoption across IT operations — leveraging AI to automate workflows, increase team capacity, and reduce manual effort at scale.

• Set the strategic vision for how internal technology enables business growth — from end-user support through foundational infrastructure and business systems to automation.

• Oversee identity and access management (directory services, SSO, MFA, role-based access controls) and the complete IT asset management lifecycle.

• Oversee IT Service Desk: end-user support, service delivery, and service level management.

• Oversee IT Systems Engineering: infrastructure, networking, endpoint management, and systems administration.

• Oversee Enterprise Technology: administration, configuration, and vendor management for core business platforms.

• Manage vendor relationships, contract negotiations, and technology budgets across all functions.

• Partner with Security, GRC, and Compliance to meet audit and regulatory requirements.

• Partner with business leadership across Finance, Operations, HR, and Legal to prioritize and deliver.

• Report on technology health, delivery throughput, and investment efficiency to executive leadership.

What You'll Bring to the Team:

• 12+ years in technology leadership, with at least 5 years managing multi-function IT organizations spanning infrastructure, business systems, and engineering.

• Direct experience leading large-scale ERP implementations or transformations (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Workday, or similar) — including vendor selection, system design, data migration, change management, and post-go-live stabilization.

• Track record of building and scaling teams — hiring leaders, developing talent, and creating structure in a growth environment.

• Experience with or strong understanding of AI-assisted development and modern software delivery. Experience in compliance-regulated environments (SOX, SOC 2, or equivalent) without letting compliance become an obstacle to delivery.

• Proven cross-functional partnership — this role serves every business function and requires trust and the ability to translate between technical and non-technical leaders.

• Strong vendor management, contract negotiation, and build-vs-buy decision-making experience.

• Executive communication skills — technology strategy, risk, and investment tradeoffs to C-suite leadership.

• Experience in a high-growth environment where speed matters and process must be built alongside delivery.

Bonus Points

• Experience at an infrastructure, cloud, or AI company.

• Experience leading technology modernization or transformation — actively evolving how technology is delivered, not just maintaining what exists.

• Familiarity with hybrid infrastructure environments including public cloud and private cloud.

• MBA or equivalent business strategy experience.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field.
