• Maintain strong working relationships with third-party vendors and service providers. Negotiate contracts, evaluate service delivery, and ensure cost-effective procurement of IT resources and support.
• Lead IT infrastructure projects such as network upgrades, cloud migrations, security improvements, and system rollouts. Define scope, manage budgets and timelines, coordinate stakeholders, and ensure successful delivery.
• Develop and manage the IT infrastructure budget. Track expenditure, identify cost-saving opportunities, and ensure efficient allocation of IT resources aligned with business priorities.
• Maintain up-to-date documentation covering systems architecture, processes, configurations, and policies. Produce regular reports on infrastructure performance, uptime, capacity planning, and compliance metrics for internal stakeholders.
