• ** This role does come with a very generous employee benefits package ***
Please see the job description below and feel free to reach out with questions.
Responsibilities
• Lead the IT migration effort of recent M&A activity of an enterprise stack, network, identity, applications, and security for the newly formed company.
• Execute the migration of the former parent’s transition services on a phased schedule, coordinating with sponsor and advisors on milestones and service-level compliance.
• Assist in standing up the core enterprise stack (along with the MSP): Microsoft 365, identity (Entra ID), endpoint management, collaboration, service management, and backup.
• Oversee the migration of user data, mailboxes, archives, and operational records from the legacy environment with zero data loss and documented chain of custody.
• Serve as a key team member in the end-to-end ERP selection and implementation, from business requirements through vendor selection, SI partner selection, configuration, data migration, testing, cutover, and post-go-live stabilization.
• Operate the cybersecurity program against a recognized framework (NIST CSF baseline); align OT-specific controls to applicable pipeline security directives.
• Manage core controls: MFA, privileged access management, endpoint detection and response (EDR), email security, vulnerability and patch management, and security awareness training.
• Manage incident response: maintain the IR playbook, run tabletop exercises, and serve as incident coordinator during events.
• Support the cyber insurance program in partnership with the MSP
• Partner with Operations leadership on the Information Technology/Operations Technology boundary across operating sites: SCADA, ICS, gas measurement, and process control systems.
• Maintain IT/OT network segmentation; implement secure remote access for vendors, engineers, and integrators.
• Support Operation Technology system availability and cybersecurity hygiene for OT-adjacent IT systems (historians, engineering workstations, jump hosts).
• Enable governed data flows from OT systems to enterprise reporting (commercial, regulatory, EHS).
• Run day-to-day IT services with the MSP: help desk, endpoint lifecycle, identity administration, network and telephony, M365 tenant, backup and recovery.
• Manage an MSP-centric operating model: primary MSP for Tier 1/2 support, specialists for cybersecurity (MDR/SOC), and selective internal coverage for engineering and project delivery.
• Run IT procurement across SaaS, hardware, and professional services.
Qualifications
• Progressive IT experience, including team leadership and hands-on delivery, ideally with carve-out, greenfield, or post-merger integration exposure.
• ERP experience as a key contributor or integration management lead: Oracle (Fusion Cloud ERP or NetSuite) or a mid-market equivalent.
• Familiarity with OT cybersecurity frameworks (ISA/IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82) and relevant critical infrastructure requirements.
• Core technical fluency: Microsoft 365, Entra ID/Active Directory, Azure or AWS, enterprise networking (SD-WAN, firewalls), endpoint management, and identity.
• Cybersecurity fluency against NIST CSF; experience operating a program across corporate and OT-adjacent environments.
• MSP and vendor management experience; ability to operate under fixed-fee and T&M structures.
