This role is not primarily a technical builder, it is a senior leader who brings clarity, judgment, and accountability to how our organization operates and grows. The right candidate leads with strategy and judgment, not just technical skill. As a lean nonprofit, we expect this person to be a doer as well as a director - someone who can roll up their sleeves when needed, but who approaches every task with an eye toward building something more sustainable than themselves. The VP Technology/Operations will report directly to the CEO and serve as a key member of the senior leadership team. Core Responsibilities 1. Technology & Systems Leadership (Primary Focus) * Own enterprise-wide technology strategy and execution. * Set strategic direction for our technology stack (CRM, project management, marketing systems, finance systems, AI tools); oversee implementation through vendors and staff. * Lead CRM strategy, governance, and data integrity. * Identify and deploy AI-enabled workflows that reduce manual effort and increase organizational capacity. * Evaluate/manage external vendors (IT, CRM consultants, AI partners, etc.). * Ensure strong cybersecurity, data privacy, and operational continuity. * Build scalable systems aligned with growth goals. * Translate complex tech concepts into clear decisions for non-technical leaders. 2. Operational Infrastructure * Oversee outsourced accounting services and partner with fractional CFO including annual budget planning, audit and 990 preparation processes. * Supervise in-house accounting staff (payroll and AP/AR execution) and database and technology manager. * Own operational dashboards and KPI tracking. * Ensure strong financial data visibility (not as CFO, but as operational steward). * Manage contract relationships for facility management and essential services. * Maintain human resources and administration records including compensation and evaluations. Ensure that recruiting processes are consistent and streamlined. * Oversee contracts for benefits administration, insurance and compliance with legal regulations regarding federal and state human resource policy. 3. Organizational Systems Thinking * Design, standardize, and scale core business processes, optimizing internal project management system. * Create systems that foster cross-functional clarity between departments. * Partner with business development, marketing, and program leadership to optimize the full customer lifecycle. * Implement goal management systems (OKRs preferred; EOS familiarity a plus). * Improve internal workflows and eliminate inefficiencies. * Build decision-making frameworks that increase speed and accountability. What Success Looks Like (12-24 Months) * Clean, reliable CRM with clear ownership and reporting integrity. * AI-enabled workflows reducing administrative load by 15-30%. * Technology vendors managed with clear deliverables and ROI. * Real-time executive dashboards supporting strategic decisions. * Streamlined systems supporting revenue growth. * Improved operational clarity across departments. ## Related Videos - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [Introducing a Digital Service Catalog for speed and scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/763-introducing-a-digital-service-catalog-for-speed-and-scale) - [Exploring 5 Key Applications of AI Abundance with Blockchain Assurance](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/971-exploring-5-key-applications-of-ai-abundance-with-blockchain-assurance) - [How Visionary Leaders Drive Transformation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1701-how-visionary-leaders-drive-transformation) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1146-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) - [What Happens to Leadership When AI Becomes a Teammate?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1818-what-happens-to-leadership-when-ai-becomes-a-teammate) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [What Industries Outside of AI Are Hiring The Most AI Experts?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/98-what-industries-outside-of-ai-are-hiring-the-most-ai-experts) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer)
