A growing, nationally recognized organization is seeking an IT Manager to take ownership of its technology environment and help shape its next phase of growth. This is a high-visibility opportunity to make a real impact across the business by modernizing systems, improving processes, and leveraging emerging technologies.

• Lead projects from concept through implementation and adoption.
• Help build and scale the IT function as the organization continues to grow.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in IT operations, infrastructure, systems, or a related area.
• Experience managing IT projects and implementing technology across an organization.
• Strong knowledge of infrastructure, networking, security, systems administration, cloud technologies, and business applications.
• Experience evaluating technology solutions and managing vendors.
• Strong problem-solving, project management, and communication skills.
• A hands-on, ownership-oriented mindset with the ability to operate strategically while still getting into the details.
• Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field is preferred but not required.

• AWS and/or Microsoft Azure experience
• AI tools such as Claude
• IT ticketing systems and workflow automation
