Director of IT Strategy

The Director of IT Strategy will act as the primary strategic IT partner for the Senior and Extended Leadership teams, translating business priorities into integrated technology roadmaps, investment plans, and lead IT accountability for timely implementations required to support and drive the business.

This is very much both a strategic AND hands-on leader and must be comfortable switching between the two modes. It involves overseeing the development of scalable, secure, and efficient systems, ensuring alignment with key stakeholders across the company. It collaborates with cross-functional teams to design, develop and implement the overall digital transformation strategy.

In addition, the role will oversee and manage the existing IT team and Managed Service Provider (MSP) and ensure all required infrastructure runs smoothly and effectively. This includes the oversight of an asset management / deployment system, ensuring robust and secure company intranet / internet, oversight of all IT infrastructure and proactive management of the department budget.

• Develop business cases for major technology investments, including expected value, risks of non-delivery, implementation approach, dependencies, and ongoing support considerations
• Align IT strategy with product roadmaps, regulatory requirements, and commercialization goals.
• Evaluate emerging technologies in all facets of the organization, including full use of our existing ERP systems, AI, software, employee experience, etc. and subsequently ensure alignment around the design, development and implementation of said digital transformation.
• Partner with business leadership to identify technology opportunities that improve operational effectiveness, customer engagement, data-driven decision-making, and scalability.
• Influence and align stakeholders across IT, Sales, Operations, Quality, Finance, and external partners.
• Ensure timely and thorough implementation of the aforementioned transformation items.
