The Opportunity 
We are seeking a versatile and proactive Head of Technology to join us during a period of hyper-growth. This role is perfect for someone who excels in "cloudy" situations and can provide technical clarity to non-technical leadership. You will be responsible for overseeing our IT infrastructure, streamlining operations, and helping define the long-term organizational design of our technical team.  

What You'll Do:

• Bridge the Technical Gap: Act as the primary technical advisor to leadership, translating complex technical concepts into actionable business strategies. 

• Operational Oversight: Take full visibility of firm-wide IT operations, ensuring stability and scalability as we grow. 

• Organizational Design: Collaborate with the executive team to define the future structure of the IT department and identify talent gaps. 

• Strategic Execution: Manage the transition of technical roles and systems during a phase of rapid organizational change. 

• Communication: Maintain high levels of transparency and "over-communicate" across departments to ensure technical goals align with business growth. 

• Technical Domain Expertise: provide advice and lead initiatives on security standards, Microsoft infrastructure, IT support operations and development processes based on the organization’s future needs.   

What We're Looking For:

• Technical Affinity: Deep familiarity with IT infrastructure, technical concepts, and modern operational workflows. 

• Adaptability: Proven ability to navigate "unknowns" and build processes from scratch in a fast-paced, changing environment. 

• Stakeholder Management: Experience working directly with non-technical executives to assess and implement technical solutions. 

• Strategic Thinking: Ability to move beyond day-to-day tasks to assist in long-term org design and resource planning. 

• Transparency-First Mindset: A strong believer in documentation and keeping the team aligned through clear, frequent communication. 

Behavioral Traits 

• Comfortable with ambiguity (finding out "what we don't know"). 

• High sense of urgency and ability to meet tight deadlines. 

• A collaborative spirit ready to step in where needed during transitions. 

• A great communicator – transparency & visibility matter to us.  

• Strong stakeholder engagement skills. 

At Sterlington, we believe that world-class talent has no boundaries. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment where unique perspectives are valued and every individual has the opportunity to thrive. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply.
