Beyond that, strong candidates will bring: * 5 to 12 years of progressive IT experience, with a track record of leading complex initiatives end to end * Experience operating at or near the executive level , reporting to a CEO, president, or equivalent is a strong indicator * Strong working knowledge of Microsoft 365, cloud services, networks, identity and access management, and SaaS applications * Comfort in a lean, hands-on environment where you're doing the work, not delegating it * Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate technical issues into clear business decisions * Experience managing vendors, technology projects, and cross-functional initiatives Bonus if you have: MLS, real estate technology, or data industry experience; Flexmls; IDX/VOW or RESO standards familiarity; Zoho One; or relevant certifications (Microsoft, CompTIA, CMLX). These aren't dealbreakers. The right person can learn the industry. What can't be trained is leadership presence. ## Description Not the person who waits for direction. Not the one who's great in the weeds but disappears in the boardroom. NNRMLS needs someone who walks into a room with executive leadership, vendors, or board members and commands it. If that's you, keep reading About NNRMLS Northern Nevada Regional MLS is a small, highly collaborative organization that serves real estate professionals across the region. The technology infrastructure here has a direct impact on how members do their jobs every single day. That means what you build, fix, and drive forward matters, and people notice. You'll sit on the executive leadership team, report directly to the CEO, and operate as a peer alongside three other directors. There's no large team to manage. You own the work, and you own the results. What Makes This Role Different Most IT director roles at this level mean managing a team, running up the chain, and waiting on approvals. This one is different. You'll work directly alongside the CEO, attend technology advisory and board meetings, represent the organization in front of industry partners, and drive technology strategy from concept through execution. When something needs to happen, you make it happen. When a vendor isn't delivering, you push back. When leadership needs a clear recommendation, you bring one. This is a high-visibility, high-trust role. The person who thrives here is someone who's done executive-level work before and is ready to own it fully. What You'll Do * Lead NNRMLS technology operations and serve as the primary technology advisor to the CEO * Drive technology initiatives from planning through completion, including implementations, migrations, and integrations * Manage and hold vendors accountable to contracted commitments and timelines * Oversee cybersecurity, disaster recovery, data licensing programs (IDX, VOW, third-party feeds), APIs, and system integrations * Identify risks, surface barriers early, and keep priorities moving * Represent technology clearly in front of executive leadership, the board, and industry partners * Use support and operational data to spot trends, root causes, and improvement opportunities * Evaluate emerging technologies, including AI, and make well-supported recommendations
