About the Opportunity:
Our client, a leader in high-growth technology, is looking for a skilled Director of IT Operations to join their team for an interim engagement. This project involves strategically scaling IT operations across IT Support, Systems Engineering, and Infrastructure to support global expansion in a lean, fast-paced environment. This is a critical leadership role that begins as a contract with potential to transition to a permanent role based on performance and organizational needs.
