• Partner with senior leadership across brokerage, operations, and finance to understand business needs and translate them into technology solutions
• Build and maintain the firm's internal IT operations, managing vendor relationships, software licensing, and technology infrastructure
• Prepare and present strategic technology recommendations, project updates, and performance reporting to firm leadership
