We’re partnering with a growing healthcare organization undergoing a major technology transformation. The CTO is seeking a hands‑on technical leader to help stabilize infrastructure, lead key initiatives, and reduce day‑to‑day operational dependency.
This is a high‑impact role where you’ll act as a player‑coach—owning architecture decisions while rolling up your sleeves to execute alongside a developing team.
What You’ll Do
- Serve as the right hand to the CTO on infrastructure and security initiatives
- Take ownership of network, systems, and Microsoft ecosystem architecture
- Lead and support a small team of engineers (mentor, guide, and elevate performance)
- Drive execution across multiple active projects in partnership with external vendors
- Step into complex technical issues and resolve them without heavy direction
- Help implement structure, documentation, and best practices where they don’t exist today
- Ensure projects stay on track and reduce escalation dependency on leadership
Key Areas of Focus
Infrastructure & Networking (Top Priority)
- Firewalls, site connectivity, and network troubleshooting
- Hands‑on support for upgrades, configurations, and deployments
- Ability to operate independently without step‑by‑step documentation
- Azure (cloud infrastructure and services)
- Exchange
- Intune (endpoint management)
Security (Practical / Infrastructure‑Aligned)
- Apply security best practices across infrastructure and cloud
- Partner with vendors on broader security initiatives
- Support identity and access strategy (nice to have)
Additional Exposure (Nice to Have)
- Cisco environments (networking / collaboration / voice systems)
What Success Looks Like
First 30 Days
- Embedded into ongoing projects
- Builds trust with CTO and team
- Begins taking ownership of key technical areas
60–90 Days
- Projects progressing smoothly with minimal bottlenecks
- Team operating more independently
- CTO no longer the primary escalation point for technical issues
What We’re Looking For
- Strong background in infrastructure + networking
- Solid understanding of cybersecurity principles in practice
- Proven ability to operate as a hands‑on technical leader
- Comfortable working in fast‑moving, evolving environments
- Ability to teach, mentor, and elevate less experienced engineers
- Self‑starter who takes initiative and solves problems without waiting for direction
Ideal Candidate Profile
- “Gets in the weeds” and enjoys hands‑on problem solving
- Has acted as a technical lead or architect without being fully removed from execution
- Thrives in environments that need structure and technical direction
- Comfortable being one of the most senior technical resources on a team
