- Project management – lead business wide initiatives such as website upgrades, new vendor onboarding, or process automation.
- Support HR and people development – performance reviews, hiring, training, and building a culture of ownership.
- Be the bridge – act as the feedback loop between the CEO’s strategy and the day to day reality of the team.

- Background in technology distribution, telecommunications, or a related sector preferred.
- Experience leading multiple teams in a small to mid size business.
