Title: Director of Information Technology - Retail AI Applications and DevOps
Location: Chicago, IL (Onsite)
Salary Range: $160,000 – $190,000 / year + 10-15% Bonus
Benefits: This role is eligible for medical, dental, vision, 401(k) and PTO.
Must be authorized to working in the United States. This position is not eligible for sponsorship.
A growing omnichannel retailer is conducting a confidential search for a Director of Information Technology to lead its technology organization and help redefine how AI and technology are used across the business.
This is not a traditional IT Director position focused primarily on administration and keeping systems running.
We are looking for a builder, operator and business problem solver who can own the technology environment while working directly with business leaders to identify problems and rapidly deliver solutions.
The successful candidate will own IT strategy, AI adoption, cybersecurity, infrastructure, business applications, vendor relationships and a lean internal technology team supporting both corporate operations and a multi-location retail environment.
What You'll Own:
- Develop and execute the company's IT and AI roadmap
- Drive practical adoption of generative AI across business functions
- Personally identify, prototype and deploy AI-enabled workflows
- Own cybersecurity, infrastructure, identity and network operations
- Support technology across corporate and retail locations
- Oversee Microsoft/Azure, Google Workspace and Cisco Meraki environments
- Partner with business leaders on ERP, e-commerce, POS and other critical applications
- Lead technology vendor negotiations and rationalize technology spend
- Develop a lean, high-performing IT organization
- Translate technical decisions into clear business outcomes
What We're Looking For:
- Retail technology experience is required
- Progressive IT leadership experience within a multi-location environment
- Strong preference for candidates who have demonstrated meaningful career progression within an organization
- Hands-on experience using modern generative AI tools and shipping AI-enabled workflows
- Strong cybersecurity, infrastructure and cloud foundation
- Experience with Cisco Meraki and Microsoft/Azure environments
- Excellent technology vendor management and negotiation experience
- Exposure to NetSuite, Shopify, retail POS or similar platforms is highly desirable
- High-energy, highly communicative leadership style
- Bachelor's Degree required
This opportunity is particularly compelling for an accomplished IT Manager or Senior Manager who is ready to step into a Director role with broad ownership and direct access to executive leadership.
Candidates should be prepared to discuss an AI-enabled workflow they personally shipped as well as a technology vendor negotiation that produced a meaningful business outcome.
