About the Role

The Company is seeking a Vice President for Automation and Digital, a pivotal role that goes beyond traditional IT to focus on business operations. The successful candidate will be responsible for architecting and operationalizing a digital backbone that unifies and scales enterprise-grade platforms, driving growth, and ensuring customer readiness. This includes defining and executing an enterprise automation and digital strategy, consolidating and standardizing various operational platforms, and leading the design and deployment of automation and AI across key workflows. The role demands a leader with a strong background in digital transformation, automation, or enterprise systems, particularly in multi-entity or high-growth environments, and a preference for those with experience in construction, telecom, engineering, or field-based operations. The ideal candidate for this VP role at the company will have an operator mindset, be execution-focused, pragmatic, and business-driven. They should be comfortable with the challenges of building from ambiguity and scaling towards enterprise readiness. Key responsibilities also include leading build vs. buy decisions, vendor strategy, and owning cybersecurity and enterprise compliance readiness. The role offers the opportunity for executive-level influence and direct impact on growth and margins, as well as the chance to build a digital foundation with long-term value creation potential. The VP will be expected to partner closely with executive leadership, finance, engineering, and field operations, and must be prepared for a high-visibility position with a strong focus on long-term value creation.
