• Establish and oversee robust digital security, governance, and risk management protocols related to AI technologies, ensuring data privacy, cybersecurity compliance, and responsible AI usage across the enterprise
• Drive ERP go‑live and post‑implementation stabilization, optimizing system performance, data integrity, and alignment with business processes
• Partner closely with the incumbent IT leader to ensure knowledge transfer, continuity, and a smooth leadership transition
• Lead change management efforts to support adoption of new tools, systems, and processes
• Oversee all aspects of IT operations, including infrastructure, networks, systems, cybersecurity, and end‑user support
• Ensure system reliability, data integrity, and business continuity across multiple business units
• Establish and enhance cybersecurity protocols, policies, and risk mitigation strategies
• Build and lead a high‑performing IT team, fostering accountability and continuous improvement
• Manage external vendors, consultants, and technology partners
• Establish disciplined processes for prioritization, budgeting, and execution
• Collaborate with Finance, Operations, and other business leaders to align technology investments with business priorities
• Serve as a strategic advisor to the executive team on technology trends and opportunities

• 10+ years of progressive IT leadership experience, including leading transformation initiatives
• Proven experience modernizing technology environments and migrating legacy systems
• Experience operating in high‑growth, acquisition‑driven, or private equity‑backed environments
• Strong understanding of IT infrastructure, enterprise systems, cybersecurity, and cloud technologies
• Demonstrated ability to lead through change and influence stakeholders at all levels
• Hands‑on, solutions‑oriented leader comfortable working in evolving and ambiguous environments

• Experience in manufacturing, construction, or industrial environments (preferred)
