Job Description
Overview
We are seeking an AI-forward IT Manager to help modernize our internal technology environment while optimizing our relationship with our managed service provider (MSP). Our company is expanding its digital footprint and beginning to integrate AI tools across multiple departments. Today, core IT operations are handled through a third-party MSP, but we are looking to build internal capability, strategic oversight, and automation leadership over the next 24 months.
This is not a CIO position. We are looking for a hands-on builder who enjoys solving real operational problems using technology, automation, and practical AI applications.
