• Select, justify, and procure appropriate, robust IT solutions, hardware, and software, emphasizing the strategic alignment, practicality, and long-term value of all chosen tools and platforms
• Oversee the successful integration of major new platforms, including specialized medical systems
• Take full ownership of the deployed infrastructure, ensuring its sustained security, stability, maintenance, and future scalability
• Work directly with local IT support staff at each site to ensure smooth implementation and compliance with new standards

What you’ll need to succeed
