We will partner with you to establish the best combination of environment, technology, teamwork and personal reward opportunities to earn your confidence that we are your best place to work.
Purpose:
Our organization operates a network of healthcare facilities and depends on reliable, secure, and scalable technology to support patient care, clinical staff, and back-office operations across all sites. We are seeking a Director, IT Infrastructure & Cloud to lead the strategy, operations, and support security posture of our infrastructure environment - spanning on-premises systems, and our Microsoft Azure cloud footprint.
This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who has both architected and operated cloud infrastructure in a healthcare or other highly regulated, multisite environment, and who understands that in this industry, downtime and security incidents have direct consequences for patient care and compliance.

Lead ongoing cloud migration and optimization initiatives (Azure IaaS/PaaS, Azure AD/Entra ID, Azure networking, backup/DR, cost management)
Evaluate and implement hybrid cloud architectures that balance performance, cost, scalability, and regulatory requirements (HIPAA, HITRUST)
Develop and maintain a multi-year infrastructure investment and refresh plan across all sites
Lead IT planning and execution for de-novo site launches - network design, hardware procurement, connectivity, security baseline, and go-live readiness - ensuring new facilities meet operational and compliance standards from day one
Serve as the IT lead for mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, including technical due diligence, infrastructure and security risk assessment, systems/network integration planning, and post-close consolidation of acquired sites into the corporate environment
Day-to-Day IT Operations:
Direct 24/7 operational support for infrastructure, network, servers, storage, virtualization, and end-user computing across all locations
Establish and monitor SLAs/KPIs for uptime, incident response, and service desk performance; drive continuous improvement via automation and AI enablement
Oversee capacity planning, patching, monitoring, and change management processes to minimize disruption to clinical operations
Manage vendor and managed service provider (MSP) relationships, contracts, and performance
Lead incident and problem management for infrastructure-related outages, including on-call escalation processes
Own IT budget planning and management for infrastructure and cloud operations
Cybersecurity & Risk Management:
Partner with the security function to ensure infrastructure and cloud environments meet HIPAA, HITECH, and applicable state/federal security requirements
Champion secure architecture practices: identity and access management, endpoint protection, network segmentation, encryption, and vulnerability management
Lead response and remediation for infrastructure-related security incidents in coordination with security/compliance teams
Support risk assessments, security audits, and third-party/vendor risk reviews
Ensure business continuity and disaster recovery plans are documented, tested, and aligned with clinical operational needs
Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration:
Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing infrastructure and operations team across multiple sites
Serve as a key advisor to executive leadership on infrastructure risk, investment priorities, and technology roadmap
Partner with clinical, facilities, and compliance leaders to ensure technology decisions support patient care delivery and regulatory obligations
Standardize infrastructure practices, documentation, and tooling across all facilities to reduce variability and risk
Perform other duties as assigned
Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience)
8+ years of progressive cloud infrastructure experience, including 3+ years in a leadership/management role
Demonstrated, hands‑on experience designing, migrating, and operating workloads in Microsoft Azure (compute, storage, networking, identity/Entra ID, backup/DR)
Proven track record leading day‑to‑day IT operations at scale, ideally across multiple physical locations or business units
Direct experience leading de‑novo site setup (new facility IT builds) and M&A IT integration (due diligence, systems/network integration, and post‑acquisition consolidation)
Solid working knowledge of cybersecurity principles and practices — identity management, network security, endpoint protection, vulnerability management, and incident response
Experience operating within regulated environments; healthcare industry experience strongly preferred (HIPAA, HITECH, HITRUST familiarity)
Experience managing budgets, vendor contracts, and cross‑functional teams
Strong communication skills with the ability to translate technical risk into business terms for executive audiences
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience in multisite healthcare delivery organizations (hospital systems, ambulatory networks, home health, behavioral health, or similar)
Relevant certifications such as Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, CISSP, CISM, or ITIL
Experience with EHR/clinical systems infrastructure requirements and uptime expectations
Familiarity with network infrastructure connecting distributed clinical sites (SD‑WAN, MPLS, site‑to‑site VPN)
