We are seeking a Technical Operations Manager, Digital Strategy to help lead and mature a modern technology operations environment within a fast-moving, growth-oriented organization.

This role is ideal for someone who combines strong cloud and infrastructure operations depth, people leadership, and the ability to stay hands‑on technically when needed. The right person will help improve operational maturity, guide cloud and infrastructure strategy, partner with external service providers, and support a scalable, well‑governed technology environment.

This is not a purely strategic leadership role. The ideal candidate is someone who can lead teams, influence stakeholders, and step into technical and operational details when necessary to move work forward.

• Lead and mentor a team of 6 technical professionals
• Assess the current technology operations environment, including cloud footprint, tooling, support model, and overall operational maturity
• Help develop and execute a roadmap to improve scale, reliability, and operational readiness
• Partner closely with an external services provider supporting cloud, infrastructure, operations, and security-related functions
• Help determine what work should remain outsourced versus what should be brought in-house over time
• Support Azure‑centric cloud operations and infrastructure strategy
• Troubleshoot, guide, and unblock teams when hands‑on technical support is needed
• Collaborate with architecture, engineering, security, risk, audit, and leadership stakeholders
• Support governance, controls, and regulatory or audit readiness efforts
• Help shape future‑state team structure, responsibilities, and capabilities
• Balance innovation and delivery speed with compliance, stability, and operational discipline

• Learn and assess current environment
• Build operational maturity / scale roadmap
• Vendor management / in sourcing strategy
• Governance / audit / regulatory readiness

Strong cloud operations background, ideally in Azure, with the technical depth to guide troubleshooting, infrastructure decisions, and maturity planning.

Ability to lead teams and communicate effectively with stakeholders while still being willing and able to roll up sleeves when needed.

Experience working with major managed services or consulting partners in environments shaped by governance, security, audit, and compliance expectations.

• 7+ years in cloud, infrastructure, or technical operations environments
• 3+ years leading technical teams
• 3+ years working with or managing strategic external technology partners
• 3+ years in a regulated or compliance‑conscious environment
• 3+ years in Azure or a comparable public cloud environment

• Experience supporting cloud infrastructure and operations in Azure
• Experience improving operational maturity in growing or evolving environments
• Experience working with external partners for infrastructure, operations, or security support
• Experience collaborating with architecture, engineering, risk, security, and executive leadership
• Experience balancing agility with governance and operational discipline
