• Serve as the senior-most voice on internal technology at the leadership table, translating IT performance, risk, and investment needs for executives.
• Own the IT budget: build the case for investment, track spend against plan, and find efficiencies without compromising security or service levels.
• Define and defend the boundary between internal IT and client-facing technology, focusing on data security, access governance, and compliance ownership.
• Own the performance of a 10-person IT organization, including hiring, coaching, and performance management.
• Build the org structure needed to scale — including adding a manager layer over day-to-day operations as headcount grows.
