**Workplace:** on_site

## Description

Our client is a rapidly scaling essential services platform built through disciplined acquisition and organic growth. The organization has reached an inflection point where technology must evolve from supporting growth to **powering growth**.

We are seeking a transformational Chief Information Officer (CIO) to architect and lead the next-generation enterprise technology ecosystem that will unify operating companies, modernize platforms, unlock data visibility, and directly enable EBITDA expansion, margin improvement, and scalable M&A integration.

This is a **builder’s role** designed for a hands-on, business-first technology executive who thrives in high-velocity, acquisition-driven environments.

**What You’ll Own**

### **Enterprise Platform Strategy**

-   Design and lead the enterprise technology roadmap supporting multi-location operating companies.
-   Drive ERP, CRM, operations, finance, and data platform modernization.
-   Establish scalable integration frameworks for future acquisitions.

### **M&A Integration Leadership**

-   Own technology diligence, integration strategy, and post-close execution.
-   Build repeatable playbooks that reduce integration time, risk, and cost.

### **Data, Analytics & Visibility**

-   Build enterprise reporting and analytics platforms delivering real-time visibility into:

-   Revenue and margin performance
-   Service operations
-   Labor efficiency
-   Acquisition performance
-   Customer lifecycle metrics

### **Cybersecurity & Infrastructure**

-   Own cybersecurity strategy, risk posture, compliance readiness, and vendor governance.
-   Ensure secure, resilient infrastructure across all operating companies.

### **Operational Excellence**

-   Improve frontline productivity, service routing efficiency, and customer experience through technology.
-   Standardize tools while preserving local operating speed.
-   Translate operational strategy into scalable technology execution.

### **Leadership & Culture**

Build, lead, and mentor a high-performance IT and data organization.

Establish strong cross-functional partnerships with Finance, Operations, HR, and M&A.

## Requirements

This person doesn’t talk about “digital transformation.”  
They **deliver it.**

You bring:

-   Senior IT/technology leadership experience in PE-backed, multi-location, or essential services platforms.
-   Proven success modernizing ERP, CRM, and enterprise operations ecosystems.
-   Direct experience leading M&A technology diligence and integration.
-   Strong data and analytics leadership.
-   Business acumen — you understand EBITDA, margin drivers, and operating leverage.
-   The ability to balance standardization with local operating speed.
-   A hands-on leadership style — sleeves rolled up, not stuck in PowerPoint.

### **Why This Role Is Different**

-   This CIO sits at the center of the company’s value creation plan.
-   Your roadmap and execution will directly influence valuation, growth velocity, and acquisition scalability.
-   You will unify operating companies onto a common enterprise platform.
-   You will be a core architect of the company’s value creation strategy and a strategic partner to the executive team.
