We’re looking for an experienced IT Director who still enjoys being hands-on . This is a great fit for someone who has led IT at the Director level but prefers a smaller-company environment where decisions move faster, priorities are visible, and you can have a direct impact on the business .

The environment supports approximately 270 employees across multiple locations and includes manufacturing, distribution, finance, and corporate operations. A major focus of the role is Epicor ERP , along with infrastructure, cybersecurity, business applications, vendors, user support, and practical technology improvements.

This is not a large-enterprise IT position with highly specialized teams for every function. the next, you may be working through an Epicor issue, evaluating a vendor, reviewing a security concern, or helping drive a system implementation. You’ll have the autonomy to shape the IT function while staying close to the business and seeing the results of your work firsthand.

Set and execute the overall IT roadmap based on business and operational needs.

Manage IT operating and capital budgets and make practical recommendations around technology investments.
Identify useful applications for automation, analytics, AI, and other emerging technologies.

Have already operated at the IT Director or senior IT leadership level .
Enjoy being a player-coach , not just a people manager.
Like partnering directly with business leaders instead of operating within a large corporate IT structure.
Can balance long-term planning with the realities of day-to-day operations.
