Director of IT

LaSalle Network is partnering with a confidential client to find a hands-on, strategic Director of IT who’s ready to lead real change. This is more than a technical leadership role—it’s an opportunity to redefine what IT means inside a mid-sized, transformation-focused organization. Based in Chicago , this position is on-site four days a week and offers the chance to guide a full tech rebuild from the inside out.
If you're tired of just keeping the lights on and ready to help architect the next three years of growth—from infrastructure and ERP optimization to data governance and AI-readiness—this role is for you.

Director of IT Responsibilities:
  • Serve as a strategic business partner to senior leadership, not just a technical executor
  • Assess and restructure a small, remote team—retaining top talent, replacing as needed
  • Evaluate current outsourced MSP performance and cost-effectiveness
  • Oversee infrastructure rebuilds, cloud transformation, and ERP optimization
  • Build and implement data governance strategies to support future analytics and AI initiatives
  • Develop and execute a 3-year technology roadmap across ERP, infrastructure, and analytics
  • Lead onsite IT operations in Chicago (4 days/week) while aligning global team efforts
Director of IT Requirements:
  • 10+ years of progressive IT leadership, with hands-on experience in infrastructure and ERP (Oracle a major plus)
  • Proven track record of leading in-house teams and managing vendor relationships
  • Strong communication skills, both upward to executives and laterally to peers
  • Comfortable assessing and optimizing outsourced support functions
  • Strategic thinker who can dig into the details but always keeps the big picture in mind
  • Experience working with cloud platforms (Oracle Cloud, Azure)
  • Familiarity with data governance, security best practices, and scalable IT frameworks
  • Appetite for transformation, change, and team-building from the ground up
Ready to step into a pivotal role with long-term VP potential? We’re looking for someone who’s not afraid to lead, rethink, and rebuild.

Thanks,

Kelsey Gonzalez
