About This Role

This Chief Information Officer role is for a leader who will be responsible for the enterprise technology and business systems agenda, with a clear mandate to integrate AI into the company's daily operations. The position is ideal for an executive capable of enhancing an existing well-managed function, improving speed and service, and transforming IT into a trusted partner across all business areas.

Responsibilities

• Set the multi-year strategy for enterprise applications and infrastructure, aligning all major technology investments with long-term company priorities
• Rationalize a broad application landscape by retiring redundant tools, reducing technical debt, and managing total cost of ownership
• Build and lead a dedicated team focused on implementing AI within the company, moving initiatives from experimentation to daily use across functions
• Empower non-engineering employees to create their own solutions using modern AI assistants and citizen-developer platforms, supported by guardrails that balance speed with security
• Partner with the CFO and audit partners to strengthen ITGC, SOX, and SOC readiness, and ensure the integrity of financial systems and data
• Rebalance the technology budget towards areas of the business with the greatest untapped opportunity, while maintaining cost discipline and controls
• Assess and elevate talent across a blended organization of employees, contractors, and vendors, bringing critical capabilities in-house where appropriate
• Shape the organization's design to ensure clear ownership and accountability for both strategy and day-to-day delivery
• Reposition the business technology team as a proactive, responsive partner to leaders across the company, collaborating with the data organization to improve service delivery
• Brief the executive team and board on technology risk, controls posture, and the overall health of the IT organization

Requirements

• Senior IT leadership experience managing a sizable IT or business systems organization with significant budget responsibility in an operationally complex company
• A track record of moving AI from pilot programs to widespread, measurable adoption across a workforce, including building a team that enables non-technical employees to create their own tools
• Hands-on ownership of a modern core stack encompassing ERP, CRM, and HR platforms, along with a large application portfolio
• A history of simplifying technology environments and managing cost while redirecting investment toward growth priorities
• Strong command of SOX, SOC, and ITGC, and comfort working with finance leaders and auditors on complex revenue and controls matters
• Credibility presenting to a board or its audit committee
• Experience evaluating and upgrading talent, restructuring teams, and attracting strong technologists
• A service-minded operator who prioritizes momentum and pragmatic fixes over bureaucracy, and understands when strict controls are necessary versus when to move quickly
• A collaborative leader who designs processes across functional boundaries rather than building a siloed organization
• Executive presence suitable for a leadership team position
