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

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.
