Job Description

A rapidly growing, private equity–backed construction services organization is building a centralized IT leadership function to support a multi-entity platform operating across the western United States. Formed through multiple acquisitions, the company is standardizing systems, modernizing infrastructure, and rolling out a new ERP platform across all operating businesses.

This newly elevated IT leadership role represents a rare opportunity to step in at a critical inflection point. The organization is moving from outsourced IT dependency to a more strategic, internally led model. The individual hired will serve as the senior-most internal IT leader, partnering directly with executive leadership to manage risk, enable growth, and scale technology alongside the business.

This is a direct-hire leadership role offering autonomy, visibility, and long-term growth potential. The role is hybrid, on-site, with 2 days in their Baldwin Park, CA office and up to 25% travel to other locations across the western U.S.

The Role You’ll Play

This role is best described as a hands-on IT Director. Someone senior enough to own IT strategy and governance, yet close enough to the technology to effectively manage MSPs, integrations, and enterprise systems. You will be the primary point of accountability for IT across the organization, overseeing vendor partners, supporting ERP and acquisition activity, and ensuring infrastructure, security, and data environments scale with the business. You are not expected to be day-to-day technical support, but you must understand the technology deeply enough to lead confidently, ask the right questions, and make informed decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the senior internal IT leader and primary partner to the CFO and executive team

• Own relationships with multiple Managed Service Providers (MSPs) driving accountability, service quality, and cost control

• Lead IT strategy, governance, and roadmap development aligned with business growth and risk mitigation

• Lead IT consolidation projects across acquired companies, including Microsoft 365 and other shared environments.

• Oversee infrastructure, cybersecurity posture, and vendor-delivered support across all locations

• Support and participate in the ongoing Acumatica ERP implementation and rollout across four operating companies

• Lead IT integration efforts for future acquisitions, creating repeatable onboarding and systems integration playbooks

• Partner with finance and operations on reporting, data structure, and system alignment

• Act as a trusted advisor to leadership on technology decisions impacting growth, compliance, and operational efficiency

Background Profile:

The ideal candidate is a senior IT leader who has grown up in mid-sized, service-oriented organizations, understands vendor-led IT models, and thrives in environments that are still being built. You are comfortable operating without a large internal team, confident managing external partners, and capable of scaling IT as the company grows.

• 8+ years of progressive IT leadership or senior IT management experience

• Proven success managing MSPs and third-party vendors in a distributed environment

• Strong understanding of infrastructure, security, and enterprise IT operations

• Experience supporting ERP systems and system integrations (Acumatica strongly preferred)

• Ability to operate autonomously while partnering closely with executive leadership

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

• High integrity, professionalism, and the ability to work effectively with executives and operations teams.

Preferred

• Experience in construction, roofing, general contracting, or field service organizations

• Exposure to timekeeping, job costing, WIP reporting, and field workforce systems

• Experience supporting multi-entity or acquisition-driven businesses

• Private equity–backed company experience

• Bilingual (English/Spanish).
