Director of Technology

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.
