Job description

We are seeking a hands-on Director of Technology to lead day-to-day execution across 
infrastructure, applications, IT operations, and technical vendors. This leader will help scale the 
company’s technology function during a period of significant growth by improving reliability, 
delivery, business alignment, and operational discipline. The ideal candidate is equally 
comfortable driving strategy, managing budgets across capex and opex, and stepping into the 
details when needed.


What You Will Own

Lead day-to-day technology operations across infrastructure, business systems, internal IT, and 
application delivery.
Oversee both infrastructure and applications, ensuring stability, scalability, security, and business 
alignment.
Manage technology budgets across operating expenses and capital expenditures, including software, 
cloud, infrastructure, telecom, and technical services.
Drive vendor management, renewal planning, cost optimization, and accountability for third-party 
partners and contractors.
Build practical operating discipline for service delivery, change management, escalation, 
documentation, and release coordination.
Partner with operations, finance, and executive leadership to prioritize initiatives that improve 
visibility, efficiency, and growth.
Support systems integration, acquired business onboarding, and scaling efforts as the company grows 
through 2029.
Develop KPIs, reporting rhythms, and execution follow-through for the technology function.


What We Are Looking For


8+ years of progressive technology leadership experience.
Experience leading both infrastructure and applications or business systems in a growing business.
Strong operational mindset with the ability to execute in a lean environment without relying on a large 
internal team.
Experience managing budgets, vendors, technical roadmaps, and cross-functional priorities.
Ability to communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders and translate technical work into 
business value.
Comfort balancing strategic planning with hands-on execution.
Preferred Background
Experience in multi-site, field service, industrial, facilities, compliance, construction, or similarly 
operational businesses.
Experience in a PE-backed, high-growth, or acquisition-oriented environment.
Track record of improving reliability, delivery discipline, and scale in a small or mid-sized organization.
Experience leading internal staff as well as external vendors, contractors, or managed service partners.


Why This Role Matters


This role is designed for a growing business that is building a stronger technology foundation to 
support meaningful expansion over the next several years. The Director of Technology will be a key 
operating partner to the VP of Technology and will help transform technology into a scalable business 
capability across both infrastructure and applications.


Compensation: 150,000-180,000
