Director of Information Technology

What You’ll Do

We’re looking for a Director of IT who has scaled an internal technology function through rapid growth and increasing complexity.

This role isn’t about maintaining what exists; it’s about evolving it.

You’ll own our IT strategy, modernize our systems and tooling, embed security and compliance into how we operate, and lead the way we adopt and govern AI across the company.

You’ll work closely with Engineering, Security, Finance, People, and Operations—not just as a support function, but as a strategic partner who helps the business move faster and smarter.

• What We’re Looking For
• Experience leading IT strategy at a company of 500+ employees.
• Proven track record of designing and scaling IT systems and tooling.
• Strong understanding of modern Saa S ecosystems and architecture.
• Experience implementing AI tools and/or defining AI strategy in a business context.
• Ability to operate at both strategic and execution levels.
• Strong cross‑functional leadership and executive communication skills.
• Experience partnering with security/compliance functions (SOC2, ISO, etc.).

Responsibilities

• Defining and leading the company’s IT strategy, creating a clear 12–24 month roadmap aligned with business priorities, growth plans, and operational needs.
• Establishing accountability and process discipline across the organization—identifying where standards aren’t being followed, setting clear expectations, and driving adoption even where there’s resistance.
• Partnering closely with leadership to proactively identify risks, opportunities, and gaps across systems, security, tooling, and processes.
• Building strong relationships across the organization and leading through influence, ensuring teams adopt the right processes, controls, and ways of working.
• Driving a company‑wide tooling strategy, ensuring investments are thoughtful, scalable, cost‑effective, and aligned with long‑term business needs.
• Establishing strong governance around systems, security, identity and access management, and AI usage across the company.
• Developing processes and operating rhythms that allow the IT function to stay ahead of company growth rather than reacting to it.
• Leading and developing the IT team, providing strategic direction while empowering the team to execute effectively.
• Thriving in a fast‑moving, high‑growth environment with evolving priorities, ambiguity, and increasing complexity.
• Success Metrics
• A clear, forward‑looking IT roadmap aligned to business priorities.
• A rationalized, scalable, and cost‑efficient tool stack.
• Strong internal AI adoption with clear governance and measurable impact.
• Seamless employee IT experience at scale.
• Security and compliance fully integrated into day‑to‑day operations.
• What You’ll Bring
• Experience leading IT strategy and systems architecture at a 500–1500 employee company.
• Experience in high‑growth environments where the company scaled significantly over a 3–5 year period.
• Proven success consolidating fragmented tooling environments and driving more standardized, scalable systems.
• Deep experience with identity and access management in complex Saa S environments.
• Strong judgment balancing security, compliance, and business speed.
• Experience creating AI governance frameworks, evaluating AI tools, and driving responsible adoption across a company.
• Strong understanding of modern Saa S ecosystems, integrations, automation, and internal systems architecture.
• Ability to operate at both strategic and hands‑on execution levels.
• Strong cross‑functional leadership and executive communication skills.
• Experience partnering with security and compliance teams across frameworks like SOC2 and ISO.

• Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA).
• Life and accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) insurance.
