Information Technology Manager

About the Position

Altus Power is looking for a hands‑on IT Manager who will own the day‑to‑day health of our technology environment while acting as the organization's internal champion for AI and efficiency. This person keeps the team on task, drives sensible process improvement, leads change that makes sense for how we operate, and constantly looks for ways to maximize our capability as an organization.

This is a leadership‑oriented role. Core security operations are increasingly supported by our managed service provider (MSP) and internal engineering team, so the priority here is not deep hands‑on cyber defense — it is strong IT management, security governance and oversight, and a genuine passion for identifying, visualizing, and bringing AI and automation solutions to life.

• IT operations & people: Keep IT projects and the team on track; set priorities, manage workload, and ensure work gets done well and on time.
• Process improvement & change management: Identify where our processes can be tightened, design improvements that fit the organization, and lead change in a way that brings people along.
• AI & efficiency advocacy: Serve as the internal advocate for AI and automation. Spot opportunities, help stakeholders visualize the solution, build the case, and drive adoption through to real results.
• Security governance & oversight: Own the relationship with our MSP and coordinate with engineering on security execution. Maintain standards, compliance, and risk posture without being the sole hands‑on defender.
• Infrastructure & systems: Oversee cloud and enterprise systems (e.g., Microsoft Azure / Microsoft 365 / Defender), endpoint management, identity/MFA, and business continuity.
• Stakeholder partnership: Communicate clearly with leadership, justify budgets and projects, and translate technical work into business value.

• Proven IT management experience with a track record of keeping teams and projects on task.
• Demonstrated passion for AI and efficiency — ideally with concrete examples of championing, building, or implementing AI/automation solutions.
• Strong change‑management and process‑improvement instincts; able to make change that makes sense for the organization.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder‑management skills, including presenting to and influencing senior leadership.
• Solid security and infrastructure foundation sufficient to govern and oversee an MSP and engineering team (cloud, identity, endpoint, compliance). Deep hands‑on SOC work is a plus, not a requirement.
• Comfortable being hands‑on where needed while operating primarily as a manager and advocate.

• Experience implementing AI tooling in a secure, compliant way (e.g., within Azure).
• Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, Azure, CompTIA) — valued but secondary to leadership and AI orientation.
• Energy / clean‑energy or similarly regulated‑industry background.

Our team is the asset we are most proud of. We aim to create a positive work‑life balance.

Here are a few of the benefits we offer:

• Competitive compensation
• Health and Dental Insurance (100% of premium paid of Company's standard policy)
• Participation in 401k Plan
• Paid cell phone service on Company's plan
• Company paid lunch in the office
• Company paid membership to building gym
• Two monthly work from home days

Altus is unequivocally committed to the principles of equal employment.
