Job Description
IT Manager (Direct Hire)
Uptown Dallas
Professional Services
Onsite (no hybrid or remote).
Generous benefits include 401(k) match, employer paid good medical insurance and of PTO, as well as tech plan reimbursement.
This opening is unique in several ways. Be one of seven on the operations team, but only IT person. Manage vendors including AI, Developers, Penetration Testers and MSP. We need someone who is forward thinking, analytical, is qualified to be part of the operational solutions team, but still willing to be hands on when a user is having an issue. The MSP handles all the standard onboarding/offboarding as well as security, but when the user or conference room issue needs a quick resolution, this position will handle it. Work with third parties for penetration testing and vulnerability assessments.
Minimal OT is expected and company pays well for relevant experience.
Financial Industry Compliance. This position supports a privately held company as well as a publicly traded small financial services company. So financial industry compliance (ITGC for SOX) experience would be great.
We utilize MS with heavy emphasis on Azure (Azure Cloud and Azure Infrastructure), but we also have AI development going on in the background, so any knowledge of AI sandbox is also interesting. Most users are on laps with no Apple in the mix.
We’ve got several heavy SQL users, and even one Linux box for a specific software package. We’ve got an ArcGIS server as well.
If you’re still reading, you probably have ascertained we’re kind of a brainy bunch of people who utilize a lot of different tech solutions in our roles. So, serous IT chops would be good, but also with a sense of humor.
Communication is also a very large part of this job. Someone to keep all the vendors apprised of what’s going on at the company and with each other whenever applicable.
Other traits that are important: common sense, minimal ego, enjoy IT services, sound troubleshooting and a stable work history and someone comfortable working with professionals.
Must be well-organized with a high attention to detail and great follow-up skills.
Environment: friendly, fun, smart group.
Experience as Network Admin and even IT Manager would be good. This position does not manage employees, but there’s lots of tech, budgets and vendors that require attention.
Familiarity and/or strong desire and ability to learn the following software and tools: Microsoft Azure (Cloud and Infrastructure), AI sandbox, SpotFire, Energy Link and Aries. Experience in hardware procurement, maintaining disaster recovery plans, and adherence to cybersecurity policies and IT general controls.
Must still appreciate getting your hands dirty and even assisting end users.
