## Description

We are looking for a Network and Systems Manager to lead, inspire, and scale our Network, Systems, and Security operations team.

 * Architect & Automate: Drive our Infrastructure as Code (IaC) initiatives using Ansible, Python, and PowerShell, and building robust CI/CD pipelines.
 * Secure & Comply: Oversee security operations (SIEM, alert triage, IAM, secrets management, and certificate automation) while steering our alignment with NIST, HIPAA, and SOC2 standards.
 * Escalations: Serve as the primary escalation point for complex infrastructure, networking (firewalls, SD-WAN), Linux/Windows systems, and high-availability database environments (MySQL/MSSQL).
 * Collaborate & Strategize: Partner with IT leadership on budgeting, vendor management, business continuity planning, and departmental roadmaps.
