New York, United States Simplex Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

This is a Hybrid position with multiple office options in Manhattan so you must be commutable to Manhattan. As the leader of the organization, you will have the opportunity to work out what a hybrid schedule will look like for you and your team.

Our client has hired their first CIO and there is a large appetite for transformation around their internal Infrastructure / Service Desk offerings. As the newly hired Director of Infrastructure & Operations, you will be a leader on the Technology team responsible for the strategic planning, management, and oversight of IT infrastructure and operational processes.

You will inherit a small team along with an MSP supporting multiple offices and hundreds of employees. You will come in with the opportunity to fully evaluate the business, systems, tools, people, and processes and in partnership with the CIO, make strategic recommendations that will drive innovation and continuous improvement in IT Service Delivery across the company. This will require someone with a background in strategy but also as a hands-on practitioner with in-depth hands-on technical expertise.

Our client is a PE-backed 100M Professional Services Firm that has been growing and acquiring companies rapidly over the last 4 years. With further planned growth, it is an exciting time to join with a first-ever CIO leader and significant budget secured to drive innovation in the business technology space. We are looking for a leader who has a passion for workforce productivity and collaboration tools and can connect this vision and roadmap to positive business outcomes (Profitability and EBITDA). With that said, you will be walking into a bit of a mess with the opportunity to build from the ground up. If that excites and energizes you and you have stories about how you've built IT Functions and overcame challenges to drive the bottom line, we'd love to talk
