• Partner with leaders across convenience stores, taverns, gaming, hotel, food and beverage, retail, finance, compliance, marketing, human resources, and resort-casino operations to ensure technology platforms enable efficiency, revenue generation, scalability, and service excellence.
• Develop and enforce enterprise policies, standards, controls, and operating procedures that support regulatory compliance, data privacy, internal controls, responsible gaming obligations, and secure technology operations.
• Provide clear, concise, and business-focused reporting to the executive team, internal stakeholders as appropriate, and other senior leaders regarding technology strategy, project execution, enterprise risks, service performance, and investment priorities.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Administration, or a related field required; master’s degree or equivalent executive education preferred.
• Minimum of 10 years of progressive technology leadership experience, including senior-level responsibility for enterprise IT strategy, operations, cybersecurity, infrastructure, applications, vendor partnerships, and technology transformation.
• Demonstrated executive-level IT operational expertise in multi-unit, highly regulated, guest-facing environments, preferably including convenience stores, taverns, gaming operations, and integrated resort-hotel-casinos.
• Strong understanding of enterprise architecture, cybersecurity, cloud and infrastructure strategy, systems integration, data governance, application lifecycle management, and mission-critical technology operations.
• Proven ability to build, lead, and retain high-performing technology teams while fostering accountability, service excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Exceptional executive communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical topics into clear business implications for senior leadership, operations teams, regulators, vendors, and other stakeholders.
• Strategic, analytical, and financially disciplined decision-maker with the ability to prioritize enterprise initiatives, manage risk, solve complex problems, and drive measurable business value through technology.
• Deep knowledge of technology governance, cybersecurity frameworks, regulatory compliance, privacy requirements, internal controls, audit readiness, and business continuity practices.
• Working knowledge of technology platforms and operational requirements commonly used in gaming, hospitality, retail, food and beverage, fuel or convenience store operations, including systems availability, cybersecurity, compliance, incident response, vendor management, surveillance integrations, and business continuity.
