Job description

Must be authorized to working in the United States. This position is not eligible for sponsorship.

A growing omnichannel retailer is conducting a confidential search for a Director of Information Technology to lead its technology organization and help redefine how AI and technology are used across the business.

This is not a traditional IT Director position focused primarily on administration and keeping systems running.

We are looking for a builder, operator and business problem solver who can own the technology environment while working directly with business leaders to identify problems and rapidly deliver solutions.

The successful candidate will own IT strategy, AI adoption, cybersecurity, infrastructure, business applications, vendor relationships and a lean internal technology team supporting both corporate operations and a multi-location retail environment.

What You’ll Own:

  • Develop and execute the company’s IT and AI roadmap
  • Drive practical adoption of generative AI across business functions
  • Personally identify, prototype and deploy AI-enabled workflows
  • Own cybersecurity, infrastructure, identity and network operations
  • Support technology across corporate and retail locations
  • Oversee Microsoft/Azure, Google Workspace and Cisco Meraki environments
  • Partner with business leaders on ERP, e-commerce, POS and other critical applications
  • Lead technology vendor negotiations and rationalize technology spend
  • Develop a lean, high-performing IT organization
  • Translate technical decisions into clear business outcomes, Position Title: Interim IT Director Location: Washington DC- 5 Days onsite - No relocation Assignment Type: Long term contract Pay Rate: $70.00 - $95.00 / Per Hour Work Schedule: Onsite, Monday - Friday Benefits: This position is eligible for medical, … Recommended *, Role: Cybersecurity / Network Engineer Location: Houston, TX (Hybrid) Pay Range: $120,000 - $125,000 / year Benefits: This position is eligible for medical, dental, vision and 401(k) About the Role We are seeking a Cybersecurity / Network Engineer to t… Recommended *, Title: Full Stack Software Engineer - AI Applications (Python and React) Location: Chicago, IL - Hybrid Salary Range: $160000 - $180000 / Year + Bonus Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, 401(k), PTO, Hybrid Work Schedule and comprehensive benefits Spons… Recommended *, Job Title: Network Engineer Location: Oklahoma City, OK Assignment Type: Direct Hire | Full-Time Pay: $80,000 - $100,000 annually depending on experience Work Schedule: Monday-Friday, Business Hours Benefits: This position is eligible for medical, dent… Recommended *, Title: Hosting Enterprise Architect Location: Dallas, TX - Onsite 1 day a week Salary: $150k Position is not eligible for sponsorship Benefits: Immediate eligibility for health and welfare benefits 401(k) savings plan with dollar-for-dollar match up to… Recommended *, Title: Enterprise IT Project Manager Location: Chicagoland Area Salary Range: $125,000 - $150,000 Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, 401(k), PTO and comprehensive benefits Sponsorship: Position is not eligible for sponsorship A rapidly growing healthca… Recommended *, Title: Cybersecurity Engineer Location: Phoenix, AZ (Onsite) Contract: 12 month Schedule: Monday-Friday | 8:00 AM-5:00 PM Benefits: This position is eligible for medical, dental, vision, and 401(k).
