Director of IT

About the Role

A multi-company portfolio operator is hiring its first Director of IT to build and lead IT operations across a holding company and its portfolio. Working with a senior IT and security advisor and a managed service provider, you will establish scalable practices while accounting for each company's existing environment.

What You'll Do

• Lead IT work for acquisitions, including technology inventory, access mapping, device and account setup, and systems integration.

• Build and run a Day 1-100 acquisition integration playbook across multiple acquisitions each quarter.

• Design and operate joiner, mover, and leaver workflows, including complete access removal during offboarding.

• Roll out and manage an identity platform, including single sign-on, provisioning, and user lifecycle workflows.

• Maintain an inventory of tools, accounts, credentials, licenses, and renewal dates to support security and consolidation decisions.

• Manage the MSP relationship, service levels, vendor contracts, renewals, and license consolidation.

• Build backend integrations that support a cross-portfolio data platform.

What We're Looking For

• Six to ten years of hands-on IT operations, systems administration, or MSP and consulting experience, including at least three years in IT leadership.

• Experience supporting multiple companies, business units, or clients, and leading IT work from acquisition diligence through post-close integration.

• Fluency with identity and access platforms such as Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, or JumpCloud, as well as SSO.

• Experience with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, plus vendor management, contract negotiation, and SLA oversight.

• Ability to map undocumented IT environments, build practical playbooks, manage stakeholders at all levels, and navigate centralized and decentralized IT models.

• Portfolio or holding company experience is a plus. Experience in regulated industries such as healthcare, finance, or defense is also a plus.
