IT Manager

DART WAREHOUSE CORPORATION
Naperville, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 5/30/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/29/2026

Overview

We are looking for a hands-on IT Manager who can run day-to-day IT operations across a multi-warehouse logistics environment while bringing structure, accountability, and ownership to the department.

This is not a “delegate everything” role. You will be expected to lead, build, and execute—from troubleshooting production issues to managing vendors and driving system improvements.

If you’ve spent your career in highly structured enterprise IT without getting your hands dirty, this role will not be a fit.
