Head of IT

Overview

As the IT Director here, you will play a key role alongside the leadership team to ensure the ongoing success of the IT function. You will oversee and own integrations and upgrades as well as manage the IT Infrastructure.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will set the direction, build the team, and roll up your sleeves when it matters. You will partner closely with Product, Operations, Finance, and Data to ensure our systems talk to each other seamlessly and that our technology enables — rather than constrains — the business.
