Director of Information Technology
Full Time AVENTURA, FL, US
2 days ago Requisition ID: 1344
Salary Range: $150,000.00 To $175,000.00 Annually
Cardone Training Technologies (CTTI) is looking for a Director of Information Technology to own our internal technology function end-to-end — infrastructure, security, systems, and the multi-year IT roadmap — for a 100% onsite, rapidly scaling workforce across Florida and Arizona. This is a senior leadership role, not a hands-on-only IT manager position: you'll set the strategy and standards for how CTTI runs technology internally, and you'll be the person senior and C-suite leadership turns to for a clear-eyed read on technology risk, readiness, and investment.
The ideal candidate brings the 10X mindset to IT: high ownership, high accountability, and a bias toward action — balanced with the judgment to protect the company on security, compliance, and risk. This is not a purely strategic, hands-off seat: you'll be expected to roll up your sleeves and work alongside the team on real issues, especially during critical incidents, major projects, live offsite events and periods of rapid growth.
Key Responsibilities
Own the internal technology strategy and multi-year infrastructure roadmap, aligned to CTTI's growth plans across all locations.
Serve as the senior-most voice on internal technology at the leadership table — translating IT performance, risk, and investment needs into clear terms for the COO, CEO, and other executives.
Own the IT budget: build the case for investment, track spend against plan, and find efficiencies without compromising security or service levels.
Define and defend the boundary between internal IT and CTTI's client-facing technology function, particularly on data security, access governance, and compliance ownership.
Team & Operations
Own the performance of a 10-person IT organization spanning help desk, systems, and infrastructure, including hiring, coaching, and performance management.
Build the org structure needed to scale — including adding a manager layer over day-to-day ticket/help desk operations as headcount grows.
Establish service standards and SLAs for internal support across all locations.
Work hands-on alongside the team on complex issues, critical incidents, and major projects — staying technically credible and close enough to the work to lead it, not just report on it.
Infrastructure, Security & Compliance
Own the company's core technology stack, including VMware, Active Directory, MDM, AWS, and Google Workspace.
Own IT security and data protection standards — access control, patching cadence, incident response — in partnership with HR and Legal on any employee- or client-data-impacting issues.
Set and enforce IT compliance standards across Florida and Arizona operations.
Evaluate and select new systems, tools, and vendors for reliability, security, and cost.
Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, or related field; equivalent experience will be considered.
12+ years of progressive IT experience, including at least 5 years in a senior IT leadership role with budget and multi-team ownership.
Proven, hands-on experience with VMware, Active Directory, MDM, AWS, and Google Workspace.
Demonstrated experience presenting technology strategy, risk, and investment decisions to executive and C-suite audiences.
Experience owning IT security and compliance standards, including access governance and incident response.
Experience building and scaling an IT organization, including adding management layers as headcount grows.
Willing and able to work hands-on — comfortable in the weeds of infrastructure, systems, or a live incident, not solely delegating and reporting up.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience partnering with a product/client-facing technology function on shared data security and governance.
Familiarity with data warehousing principles and practices.
Background in a fast-growth, founder-led, or high-performance sales culture.
10X Total Rewards
Medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents
PTO policy that increases with tenure
Employee Assistance Program through Mutual of Omaha
401(k) with company match
Pet insurance through MetLife for your 10X pets
Company-paid wellness initiatives through BeyondMed
Full access to CTTI's educational library (valued at $250,000+) across Sales, Operations, People, Finance, and Marketing
Uncapped commission opportunity on CTTI products/services, with training provided
