About this role
## Overview **IT Director (Full Time, Direct Hire)** Woodbury, NY • Manufacturing • **$140,000–$150,000** • **1–2 Direct Reports** We’re looking for an experienced IT Director who still enjoys being hands-on. This is a great fit for someone who has led IT at the Director level but prefers a smaller-company environment where decisions move faster and you can have a direct impact on the business. You’ll own the technology roadmap, lead a small internal team, partner closely with business leaders, and stay actively involved in the systems and projects that keep the organization running. The environment supports approximately **270 employees** across multiple locations, including **manufacturing, distribution, finance, and corporate operations**. A major focus of the role is **Epicor ERP**, along with **infrastructure, cybersecurity, business applications, vendors, user support,** and practical technology improvements. --- ## What Makes This Role Different This is not a large-enterprise IT position with highly specialized teams for every function. You’ll be comfortable wearing multiple hats and moving between strategy and execution—one day partnering with leadership on priorities, and the next working through an Epicor issue, evaluating a vendor, reviewing a security concern, or helping drive a system implementation. You’ll have the autonomy to shape the IT function while staying close to the business and seeing the results of your work firsthand. --- ## Responsibilities - Set and execute the overall IT roadmap based on business and operational needs. - Serve as the primary leader for the **Epicor ERP** environment, including **upgrades, integrations, reporting, training,** and **process improvements**. - Oversee **networks, servers, Microsoft 365, cloud services, telecommunications, hardware, software,** and **end-user technology**. - Strengthen **cybersecurity, access management, backup, disaster recovery,** and **business continuity**. - Manage day-to-day IT priorities and ensure issues are addressed quickly and pragmatically. - Partner directly with **manufacturing, distribution, finance,** and **corporate** leaders to identify technology improvements. - Evaluate and manage **vendors, consultants, licensing,** and **managed service providers**. - Lead technology projects from idea through implementation (planning, testing, communication, rollout). - Manage **IT operating and capital budgets** and make practical recommendations around technology investments. - Lead and develop a small internal team of **1–2 direct reports**. - Identify useful applications for **automation, analytics, AI,** and other emerging technologies. --- ## Who Will Thrive Here You may be a strong fit if you: - Have operated at the **IT Director** or senior IT leadership level. - Prefer a smaller/mid-sized organization where you can make decisions and see impact. - Enjoy being a **player-coach**, not just a people manager. - Are comfortable jumping into technical or operational issues when needed. - Like partnering directly with business leaders instead of operating within a large corporate IT structure. - Can balance long-term planning with day-to-day realities. - Prefer broad ownership over a highly segmented enterprise environment. --- ## Qualifications - **10+ years** of progressive IT experience with meaningful leadership responsibility. - Prior experience in a **Director-level** (or comparable) IT leadership role. - Experience supporting **manufa
