• Strong project management skills to lead initiatives like ProSeries migration, Azure improvements, or VDI expansions.
• Experience in fast-paced, compliance-heavy environments (financial services, accounting, legal) is advantageous.

Cultural Fit

• Appreciates structure but embraces flexibility to establish best practices and processes where gaps exist.
• Willing to mentor junior staff and uplift the IT team capability.
