What You Will Do
As the first Director of Information Systems at Spearmint, you will pioneer the establishment of a formal IT framework, coordinating the "big picture" of IT and OT systems while empowering individual teams to manage their specific systems. Your role will focus on the strategic oversight of the firm's IT landscape, ensuring seamless interoperability and data sharing across diverse systems. You will lead the optimization of Microsoft's enterprise tools, including O365, SharePoint, and Fabric, and develop corporate IT policies that align with the firm's dynamic energy project development, operations, and optimization needs. While directing Managed Service Providers for routine IT management, your expertise will guide enterprise-level data mapping, system integration best practices, and cybersecurity efforts, ensuring compliance with all security and contractual requirements.
This individual contributor role will report to the Chief Operating Officer as part of Spearmint's corporate business unit and will often work directly with other leaders within the organization on specific tasks.

- Formulate and enforce corporate IT policies that support the firm's dynamic operations and strategic goals.
- Lead the successful and responsible adoption of emerging technologies, such as generative AI, ensuring they are leveraged to enhance efficiency, innovation, and competitive edge while adhering to ethical standards and regulatory compliance.

- Extensive experience (7-10 years) in managing IT systems within the energy sector, particularly those designated as critical infrastructure, with a deep understanding of the regulatory environment and compliance requirements. Experience in overseeing IT systems related to energy bidding and trading, with an emphasis on maintaining the integrity and security of proprietary systems a plus,
- Expertise in cybersecurity, with the ability to develop and implement robust security protocols to protect against internal and external threats, ensuring the safety of critical infrastructure and sensitive data.

- The role generally follows traditional business hours, with occasional work outside of these hours to meet company objectives or to fully engage stakeholders, such as during evening community meetings.
- As the company operates power generation and storage infrastructure that must function 24/7, this role, while not routinely on-call, is a key member of the company's emergency/crisis response team and is expected to participate in the immediate and ongoing response to emergencies impacting facilities.
