IT Manager

Job Overview

This IT Manager position is about steering the technology that keeps a business running. You'll oversee systems, manage a team, and make sure the tech aligns with what the organization needs to do. It's a hands on leadership role based in Tampa, FL, where you'll bridge the gap between technical execution and strategic planning.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Lead daily IT operations, including network administration, system security, and help desk support.
• Manage technology budgets and vendor relationships, negotiating contracts for software and hardware.
• Develop and enforce IT policies around data security, disaster recovery, and acceptable use.
• Evaluate new technologies and plan infrastructure upgrades to support business growth.
• Mentor and develop IT staff, assigning projects and fostering technical skills within the team.

Requirements

• A solid background managing Windows/Linux servers and cloud platforms like AWS or Azure.
• Experience with cybersecurity best practices and implementing defensive measures.
• At least five years in IT, with two or more years in a supervisory or management capacity.
• A bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent professional experience is expected.
• The role involves troubleshooting complex issues under pressure, which requires clear thinking during occasional high stress situations.

What It's Like In This Role

You'll split your time between strategic meetings, reviewing system reports, and diving into technical problems with your team. The environment isn't about putting out fires every day; it's about building systems that prevent them. You'll work with project management tools, network monitoring software, and ticketing systems. Expect a standard full time schedule, but there's an on call rotation for critical outages; it comes with the territory of keeping things online.

Why You'll Like This Opportunity

The variety here keeps things interesting. One week you're planning a server migration, the next you're evaluating a new SaaS platform. There's real autonomy to shape the tech roadmap. You won't be stuck maintaining legacy systems forever; there's room to introduce modern solutions and grow your expertise in areas like cloud architecture or infosec.
