- Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend practical solutions that strengthen performance, reduce risk, and improve the employee and customer experience.
What We’re Looking For
- A proven IT leader with 10+ years of management experience and the ability to balance strategic planning with hands-on execution.
- Strong technical knowledge across enterprise applications, ERP systems, databases, reporting tools, infrastructure, cybersecurity, network administration, and cloud-based technologies.
- Experience translating business requirements into practical technology solutions that improve efficiency, visibility, and performance.
- Strong communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills with the ability to work effectively across departments and with executive leadership.
- Demonstrated experience with project management, prioritization, documentation, system development methodologies, and vendor management.
- Advanced data analysis and reporting skills, including SQL query development, performance tuning, MS Access, Crystal Reports, or similar tools.
