Job description
Chief Information Officer | Founder-Led Specialty Products Company | Macomb County, Michigan RHH
MUST HAVES:
Live in Southeast Michigan
Experience in e-commerce, wholesale, and/or retail B2B and B2C
Well-rounded IT leadership experience
We are specifically looking for a well-rounded IT generalist with broad leadership experience, not a specialist in a single technology or function. This role requires IT leadership across infrastructure, systems, ERP, and strategy. Deep expertise in a single area without that broader foundation is not a match for this opportunity.
HH&A has been retained to conduct a search for a Chief Information Officer on behalf of a growing, founder-led company with nearly 200 employees, serving customers across all 50 states and in more than 10 countries. The company operates as a leading wholesaler, eCommerce brand, and direct-to-consumer distributor of specialty products, and also owns, develops, and manufactures products under its own brands.
The Role
This is a high-impact executive opportunity for a senior technology leader who thrives at the intersection of technology strategy, business operations, and customer experience. The CIO will own the full breadth of the company's information and business systems, IT infrastructure, software applications, ERP platform, data architecture, and digital initiatives. Reporting to an owner, this individual will lead a team of nine, including four direct reports.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the strategic design and long-term architecture of information systems, the ERP platform, and IT infrastructure
Serve as a member of the senior executive team, ensuring technology investments align with and accelerate company growth
Establish and own data architecture, system integrations, and business intelligence capabilities
Oversee risk management, data security, and disaster recovery planning
Build and manage vendor relationships, negotiating contracts that balance cost, quality, and long-term fit
Drive a culture of technology-enabled customer experience excellence across B2B and B2C channels
What We Are Looking For
At least four years of senior technology leadership as a CIO, VP of IT, or equivalent
Outstanding knowledge of modern technology stacks, including cloud, SaaS, enterprise platforms, and integration architectures
Hands-on ERP experience with a track record of meaningful operational improvements
Deep understanding of data flow and core business processes
Strong financial acumen, including IT budgeting and planning
Exceptional communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences
Experience in eCommerce or multi-channel B2B/B2C environments is highly valued
Cultural fit with a high-energy, values-driven organization that prizes positivity, innovation, and a customer-first mindset
Why This Role
This is a seat at the strategic table in a profitable, culture-first company with genuine growth momentum. The right candidate will have the authority and support to build long-term technology roadmaps and make a visible, lasting impact on the business.
Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. Referrals are also welcome.
