Operational Excellence & Support Leadership

Serve as a senior escalation point for complex technical issues across hardware, software, and network systems
Lead incident response and root cause analysis efforts, driving long-term solutions
Manage vendor relationships and third-party service providers to ensure service quality and performance

Security, Compliance & Risk Management

Contribute to enforcement of company-wide information security policies and controls
Conduct regular security audits, risk assessments, and vulnerability reviews

Partner with Engineering, Product, and Operations teams to align IT systems with business needs
Contribute to budgeting, forecasting, and cost optimization initiatives

Project Leadership & Continuous Improvement

Lead complex IT projects from planning through execution, ensuring timely and high-quality delivery
Develop and maintain documentation, SOPs, and automation frameworks
