Seattle, United States Far Bank Enterprises Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

Join our dynamic team as the Senior Manager/Director of Technology (IT) and lead our strategic technology operations.

At Far Bank Enterprises, the Technology Department is seen as a strategic partner and advisor to the business, rather than simply a cost center. We believe in leveraging technology to its fullest potential to drive innovation, streamline processes, and unlock strategic opportunities. As the Director of Technology, you'll have the exciting opportunity to shape our technology landscape, working closely with our business analysts and users to translate requirements into innovative technical solutions.

This position is hands-on, and you should enjoy rolling up your sleeves and getting into the details. It's a great opportunity to work closely with a highly technical team, engage with business owners on value-driven solutions, and contribute to our position as the industry leader in fly fishing.

If you thrive in a collaborative environment, enjoy tackling complex challenges, and are passionate about leveraging technology to drive business success, then we invite you to join us on this exciting journey. Together, we'll continue to deliver best-in-class products and solutions to our customers while driving growth and innovation in the fly fishing community.
