About the role
THE OPPORTUNITY
As Director of IT for POS & Operations Systems, you will own the full lifecycle of two mission-critical platforms: our next-generation Point of Sale system and our Tunnel Controller System. You’ll lead both an internal engineering team and a 3rd party development partner, reporting directly to the CIO. This is a builder role — you’ll be creating systems, processes, and teams that will power operations for years to come.

- Serve as the primary technology liaison to the CIO and senior leadership, delivering clear executive-ready updates on program health, risks, and decisions.
Team & Vendor Leadership

Systems Development & Engineering
- Oversee architecture, development, and QA of the POS platform — including payment processing, membership/loyalty integrations, and real-time reporting.
- Drive engineering of the Tunnel Controller System, including hardware-software integration, conveyor logic, sensor management, and wash sequencing.
- Ensure systems are purpose-built for reliability and resilience across a high-volume, distributed fleet of car wash locations.
