: Job Details :

The Opportunity:

A permanent role based in Colorado seeks an experienced Senior IT leader for a fast-growing and thriving organization. This position is open due to the growth and evolution of the organization, which will allow this individual to take ownership and directly see the impact of their technical contributions as well as own the IT infrastructure that is vital for company growth. In addition to being the owner of the IT infrastructure strategy/vision, this person will direct new company-wide implementations and ongoing oversight of internal platforms.

The Director will operate in a multifaceted capacity and provide a wide array of expertise to deliver a high-performing technology platform.

Your leadership will be instrumental in identifying and integrating new technologies and tools that enhance the organizations internal processes and systems management capabilities. You will consistently evaluate technology strategies to ensure they align with the evolving needs of the business, while proactively introducing forward-thinking solutions.

As a trusted advisor, you will provide strategic direction and hands-on support to both onsite and remote stakeholder (employees, contractors, partners and owners), fostering a collaborative environment. This role will require you to work cross-functionally (People, Engineering, Security) to ensure we are executing our responsibilities to our partner teams and the business. By guiding the deployment of new technologies and oversight with maintaining existing ones, you will help the organization stay at the forefront of innovation, ensuring that our IT infrastructure serves as a strong foundation for continued growth and success.
