Position Overview
We are seeking a senior technology leader responsible for the reliable, secure, and scalable delivery of IT services across the organization. This role owns the full spectrum of day-to-day IT operations — from the help desk and end-user support to enterprise systems, mobile device management, and communication infrastructure. Reporting directly to the Chief Information Officer, this leader partners closely with the Chief Information Security Officer to ensure all devices and systems meet security and compliance requirements.
This person must be a process-driven leader who builds and sustains high-performing teams, implements ITIL-aligned frameworks, and uses metrics to drive continuous improvement. This is a role for someone ready to take IT operations to the next level: establishing repeatable, measurable processes and building the foundation for a scaling healthcare organization.

Security Collaboration & Vulnerability Management
Serve as the primary IT Operations partner to the CISO, ensuring operational execution of security directives.
