Director, Infrastructure Operations

Director, Infrastructure Operations

Solovis builds portfolio management and analytics software for institutional investors: the endowments, foundations, family offices, and asset managers responsible for some of the most complex capital in the world. We are backed by Insight Partners and growing fast, investing in product, people, and the client outcomes that drive retention and expansion.

The team is sharp and moves with purpose. AI is core to how we operate. If you think in systems, learn quickly, and want your work to matter at an infrastructure level, you’ll find a home here.

The Director of Infrastructure Operations is a senior leadership role responsible for establishing and owning the infrastructure and IT strategy that underpins Solovis’s growth. This individual will define the governance frameworks, security posture, and operational standards that enable our engineering and product teams to move with speed and confidence. The role spans cloud infrastructure policy, IT operations, security and compliance, and the organizational buildout required to support a scaling SaaS business.

This role requires both the technical depth to be hands‑on and the strategic perspective to build the function that scales beyond it. In the near term, this individual will be directly involved in the work — establishing standards, making architectural decisions, and operating within a lean team. Over time, the expectation is to hire and develop the infrastructure organization beneath them.

The right candidate has built or significantly matured an infrastructure function before and understands what it takes to operate reliably at scale.

• A real mandate. This role carries full ownership of infrastructure strategy and IT operations, with the authority and organizational support to build the function from the ground up.
• Institutional backing. Insight Partners and ST6 bring capital, networks, and operational depth. We have the resources to do this right.
• An AI‑native environment. Solovis is actively building an AI spine across the organization. This role will be a key voice in how that infrastructure is architected and governed.
• A seat at the table. This is a director‑level role with direct visibility to senior leadership. Infrastructure decisions made here will have meaningful, lasting impact on how Solovis operates and scales.

• Cloud governance and infrastructure standards. Establish the policies, standards, and controls governing how engineering and Dev Ops teams provision and operate cloud infrastructure across the organization.
• Security and compliance. Lead the development and execution of Solovis’s security strategy, including compliance certifications, risk management, and the controls required to meet the standards of our institutional client base. This is the organization’s most immediate infrastructure priority.
• IT strategy and operations. Oversee IT operations including the help desk function, vendor relationships, and budget management, ensuring the internal environment is reliable, well‑governed, and aligned to business needs.
• Infrastructure reliability. Define and maintain the monitoring, incident response, and operational processes required to sustain 99.99% uptime across our hosting environment.
• AI readiness. Serve as a senior voice in how AI tooling and platforms are integrated into Solovis’s infrastructure model, with increasing responsibility as the organization’s AI strategy matures.

• A strategic operator. Demonstrated ability to lead infrastructure and IT at the strategic level; setting direction, establishing governance, and enabling engineering teams to operate with autonomy within a well‑defined framework.
• Security fluency. Meaningful experience owning security and compliance programs in a SaaS or enterprise environment, with a track record of navigating certifications and building durable security practices.
• Broad IT leadership. Prior leadership of a full‑scope IT function, including help desk operations, vendor management, and budget accountability, with the operational breadth this role requires.
• AI familiarity. Sufficient familiarity with AI…
