gained through education, experience, or certifications.\nDemonstrated experience designing platforms and processes for long-term scale, applying systems thinking to anticipate downstream impact across the technology environment.\n5+ years of demonstrated experience providing technical oversight, direction, and mentorship to IT team members, with or without formal people-management responsibility.\nProven ability to independently plan and lead complex, cross-functional IT initiatives from scoping through delivery.\nExperience building and presenting business cases and cost-benefit analyses to senior leadership, clearly articulating trade-offs, risk, and investment recommendations.\nProven track record of independently identifying improvement opportunities and driving them through to measurable outcomes, including challenging established approaches when better options exist.\nStrong cross-functional collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts clearly for non-technical stakeholders at all levels of the organization.\nDemonstrated commitment to continuous learning, staying current with emerging technologies and evolving ways of working.\nWork Location\nThis is a hybrid role, with a combination of in-person and remote work.
