Director of Technology – Strategic IT Leadership for a Global People-Focused Organization

Location: Lincoln, NE (Hybrid: 3–4 days/week onsite)

Compensation: $130K–$180K base + annual profit share + comprehensive benefits

If you’re a strategic technology leader who thrives at the intersection of innovation, operational excellence, and business growth, this opportunity offers a rare platform to shape an entire organization’s future. This is your chance to guide a values-driven, globally respected professional services firm through modernization, digital transformation, and long-term tech enablement—while working alongside a highly collaborative executive team that values your voice at the table.

You’ll be stepping into a newly created role with a clear mandate: lead technology strategy, ensure operational stability, and align tech initiatives with ambitious business goals. With the right vision, you’ll not just maintain the status quo—you’ll elevate it, setting the standard for how technology supports and drives a thriving, people-first culture.

The Opportunity

In this role, you’ll have end-to-end accountability for all technology operations, strategy, and innovation at the enterprise level. You’ll guide cloud infrastructure, application portfolios, cybersecurity, and software development processes, while ensuring technology investments directly advance the company’s strategic vision.

This is not a maintenance role—it’s a transformational leadership opportunity for someone who can envision and implement technology roadmaps that drive both short-term wins and long-term scalability.

Core Requirements

The ideal candidate will bring:

• Proven technology leadership at both strategic and operational levels, ideally in a service-based or consulting environment.
• Strong cloud infrastructure expertise — hands-on knowledge of AWS, Azure, or similar platforms, including security best practices.
• Enterprise application oversight — particularly ERP, CRM, and other mission-critical systems.
• Understanding of software development principles — at least basic coding knowledge — and a solid grasp of Agile processes.
• Experience leading cross-functional teams and fostering collaboration between IT and business units.
• Vendor and partner management skills, including contract negotiation and performance management.
• Change management expertise — demonstrated success guiding organizations through major technology transformations.
• Exceptional communication skills — able to convey complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

Bonus Skills

• Experience in professional services or consulting environments.
• Proven success driving digital transformation initiatives.

Why This Role is Different

• High-impact leadership: You’ll be shaping technology strategy from the ground up in a role that reports directly to the president.
• Balanced innovation: You’ll have the autonomy to modernize systems while ensuring operational stability.
• People-first culture: Work alongside a leadership team that values trust, collaboration, and professional growth.
• Global reach: Influence technology initiatives across a diverse client base spanning multiple industries and geographies.

If you’re ready to combine your technical expertise with visionary leadership to make a lasting organizational impact, we want to hear from you.
