• Enterprise & Cybersecurity Alignment: Integrate corporate IT architecture and implement robust cybersecurity, access control, and incident response protocols.
• Project & Vendor Management: Oversee site IT projects, manage vendor relationships, set budgets, and mitigate operational risks.
• Team & Infrastructure Support: Lead IT support staff, serve as the technical escalation point, and manage local ERP platforms, databases, and systems.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, Business, or a related field.
• Experience: 5+ years in IT support/management with strong experience in enterprise systems, ERP platforms, and databases.
