We are seeking a Director of Infrastructure Operations & Security to provide strategic, operational, financial, and people leadership for enterprise infrastructure operations, engineering, and platform services across servers, storage platforms, cloud connectivity, data center services, monitoring, service restoration, and related resilience capabilities. Cybersecurity remains an enabling discipline, with the Director accountable for ensuring appropriate controls are embedded into infrastructure architecture, operations, lifecycle management, and recovery practices.

This role owns the infrastructure operations model, infrastructure roadmap, service reliability objectives, capacity and lifecycle planning, operational support processes, vendor and partner performance, and financial stewardship for the infrastructure portfolio. The Director supports the annual budgeting, forecasting, capital and operating expense planning process, budget variance management, and cost optimization while ensuring infrastructure operations and investments align with business priorities, risk tolerance, and enterprise technology strategy.

The successful candidate is expected to lead through managers, engineers, operations teams, and cross-functional partners while remaining sufficiently technical to guide architecture decisions, direct high‑severity incident response, and support executive‑level communication during critical events. The role balances strategic planning, operational execution, financial discipline, governance, and measurable improvement in service availability, resiliency, performance, scalability, and security posture.

• Set the multi-year strategy, standards, and operating model for enterprise infrastructure operations and engineering across compute, storage, cloud, data center, and core platform services.
• Lead the design, implementation, operation, and modernization of infrastructure services to meet availability, performance, scalability, recoverability, security, and supportability requirements.
• Establish governance for architecture decisions, technical standards, lifecycle management, service ownership, operational readiness, change readiness, and production support.
• Prioritize infrastructure operations and engineering initiatives based on business value, service reliability, risk reduction, regulatory needs, technical debt, and total cost of ownership.
