About the Opportunity:
The Director of IT is a strategic and hands-on leadership role responsible for overseeing the company’s day-to-day IT operations, cybersecurity program, enterprise systems, and regulatory compliance posture. This role serves as the organization’s primary internal owner of IT governance and federal compliance, with a strong focus on leading and sustaining Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 readiness and broader security maturity initiatives.
Operating within a Google Workspace and macOS environment, this role oversees an external managed service provider (MSP) responsible for help desk support and device management, while serving as the internal authority on IT operations, cybersecurity, compliance, and technology-related risk decisions. The Director of IT will build scalable processes, strengthen security controls, and mature the company’s IT infrastructure to support continued growth as a federal contractor.
This role requires strong cross-functional partnership with Finance and Accounting to evaluate technology investments, vendor relationships, budgeting, and the affordability and scalability of IT and cybersecurity solutions. The ideal candidate is able to balance operational effectiveness, security requirements, compliance obligations, and business realities in a pragmatic and growth-oriented way.
Reporting directly to the CEO, this individual will regularly interface with executive leadership, serving as a trusted advisor on cybersecurity, compliance, technology strategy, and operational risk. The role also requires comfort representing the organization in client-facing, audit-related, and business development discussions, including articulating the company’s compliance posture and security capabilities to external stakeholders.
While overseeing day-to-day IT operations through the MSP, success in this role will be defined by the ability to drive cybersecurity and compliance maturity, influence enterprise technology decisions, support scalable growth, and position the company as a trusted and compliant federal contractor.
