Director, Information Technology Infrastructure

At Nightingale Education Group, we're closing the nursing shortage — one learner at a time. Our work is bold, our team is passionate, and our technology has to keep pace with both. We're looking for a Director, IT Infrastructure who doesn't just keep the lights on — they build the grid.

This is a senior leadership role for someone who thinks in systems, thrives in transformation, and knows how to translate deep technical expertise into organizational impact. You'll own the full IT infrastructure landscape — from hardware and networks to support operations — and you'll shape the long-term technology roadmap for a growing, mission-driven institution.

If you're energized by the intersection of strategy and execution, and you want your work to matter beyond the server room, this is your seat at the table.

• Drive infrastructure transformation initiatives that position Nightingale to grow efficiently and sustainably.
• Develop and execute the strategic direction for IT infrastructure — hardware, software, networks, and beyond.
• Ensure high availability and peak performance of IT systems across the organization.

• Implement and maintain IT infrastructure policies and procedures aligned with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
• Stay ahead of emerging technologies and trends, bringing continuous improvement and innovation to everything you touch.
• Identify and implement process and policy improvements — and ensure they actually stick.

• Manage IT infrastructure projects end-to-end: conception, implementation, and evaluation.
• Lead, develop, and support your team across performance, behaviors, and competencies — investing in people as much as platforms.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to assess and address technology needs across the organization.
• Participate in hiring decisions, panel interviews, and candidate selection.

• Develop and manage the functional budget, ensuring resources and assets are deployed effectively within approved parameters.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field from an accredited institution.
• 10+ years of experience in IT infrastructure and support roles.
• 5+ years in a leadership or managerial role.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in IT infrastructure planning and development.
• 5+ years working with systems and network architecture, information security principles, and IT best practices.
• A proven ability to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders — clearly and confidently.

• COBIT and/or ITIL certification or demonstrated working knowledge.
