We are seeking a hands-on, strategic Senior Director of IT to build and lead the technology infrastructure of our growing organization. This is a newly created role designed to bring focused IT leadership as we scale. Reporting directly to the CFO, you will own all aspects of IT — from day-to-day operations and cybersecurity to EDI compliance, ERP management, and AI-driven innovation. At our size, this role requires a player-coach mindset: someone equally comfortable setting the IT roadmap and rolling up their sleeves to execute it.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a greenfield IT leadership role at a company with real momentum. You'll have the autonomy to build the IT function the right way — with the support of a leadership team that values technology as a business driver. If you're a hands-on IT leader who wants ownership, variety, and the chance to make a visible impact, this role is for you.
