About the job

A privately owned Minnesota-based organization is launching its first internal IT leadership function and is seeking an experienced, hands-on Director of IT to help modernize the business and establish its technology roadmap.

With approximately $500M in revenue, ~200 employees and three locations across the Midwest and South, the company has significant resources, continued expansion plans and a long-standing reputation for stability. The organization is actively investing in equipment, facilities and people—and now wants technology to become a strategic advantage.

This is not a traditional “keep the lights on” IT role. The successful leader will:

Partner with an established outsourced IT provider while bringing internal technology leadership to the business

Lead an upcoming ERP modernization

Evaluate and implement AI, automation and business software opportunities

Strengthen cybersecurity practices and technology governance

Assess infrastructure, servers, communications and hardware

Identify opportunities to improve CRM, manufacturing equipment and operational systems

Serve as a trusted technology advisor to operations and executive leadership

Ideal background: 7+ years of progressive IT experience, strong infrastructure/software knowledge, cybersecurity awareness, business systems/ERP experience and demonstrated success implementing technology improvements.
