• Collaborate across enterprise technology: Work with systems, data, Salesforce, and integration specialists on infrastructure dependencies, security, integrations, and enterprise initiatives, including the NetSuite migration.
• Measure delivery and operational performance: Establish a visible delivery cadence, report progress, risks, and milestones to IT leadership and governance stakeholders, and ensure the service desk can effectively support newly delivered solutions.

Requirements

• Professional experience: At least eight years in engineering or infrastructure roles, including three or more years managing engineers with direct reports.
• Cloud and production operations: Strong hands-on knowledge of cloud platforms, preferably Microsoft Azure, or AWS, and experience operating customer-facing production systems, including incident management, on-call support, capacity planning, and disaster recovery.

• Enterprise technology expertise: Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 and Entra ID administration within an enterprise environment, along with an understanding of security architecture and compliance controls.
