Looking for a role where you can truly make an impact? We're seeking an IT Network Operations Manager to take ownership of IT infrastructure and lead a small, agile team.

What You'll Do:

  • Drive IT operations across networks, servers, and core business systems
  • Implement practical security, backup, and disaster recovery strategies
  • Lead and mentor a small IT team while staying hands-on
  • Monitor system health and respond to outages or cybersecurity incidents
  • Manage vendors and ensure cost-effective solutions
  • Report clearly on risks, priorities, and system performance

What You Bring:

  • Solid IT operations experience with leadership in lean environments
  • Strong knowledge of networking, virtualization, backups, and security fundamentals
  • Ability to balance strategy with day-to-day execution
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
