Vice President Information Technology

We are partnering with a rapidly growing, private equity-backed security services platform generating approximately $200M in revenue, with operations spanning electronic surveillance, alarm monitoring, and manned guarding services across the United States. The company operates a bi-coastal footprint, with a strong presence in Florida and California, and serves a diverse customer base across 46 states.

Following a recent acquisition and accelerated organic growth, the business is anticipated to double its revenue in the next year, positioning the company for substantial scale. As a result, the organization must evolve from a collection of strong but disparate businesses into a fully integrated, scalable platform.

This next phase will require meaningful transformation across technology infrastructure, core systems, and operational processes including the integration of platforms, standardization of workflows, and enhancement of team capabilities to support continued expansion and long-term value creation.

Position Overview

The VP of IT will play a critical role in integrating and scaling the company’s technology environment across multiple business units. This leader will focus on blending platforms, standardizing processes, and building a scalable IT infrastructure to support a rapidly growing, multi-entity organization.

This is a highly visible role requiring a balance of hands-on execution and strategic leadership, with direct impact on the company’s ability to scale efficiently.

• Establish standardized processes (SOPs) across regions, service lines, and customer segments
• Evaluate and upgrade IT team capabilities (currently ~6 team members across both coasts) and build for scale
• Manage third-party vendors and implementation partners
• Strengthen cybersecurity posture and data governance across all systems
• Stabilize and optimize prior system investments and ensure adoption across the organization

Requirements

• 10 years of IT leadership experience in high-growth, multi-site environments
• Proven track record leading ERP implementations and post-acquisition enterprise system integrations
• Experience operating in complex, distributed businesses (field services, logistics, or service-based models preferred)
• Demonstrated success integrating systems and processes following mergers or organizational change
• Strong ability to translate business needs into scalable technology solutions
• Hands-on, execution-oriented leader who can operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving environment
• Experience building, assessing, and upgrading teams to support growth
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence cross-functional leaders
