VP, IT & Infrastructure

Reports to the Chief Financial Officer

AKUVO is creating a new role — VP, IT & Infrastructure — to own every layer of the Azure environment the company runs on.

Three connected scopes, all under one leader:

• The production SaaS platform. The Azure-hosted environment that AKUVO’s customers depend on — reliability, performance, scaling, observability, cost, and the customer-data-center connections that keep regulated financial institutions integrated.
• The product’s infrastructure surface. The cloud architecture decisions that shape what the product engineering and data teams can build — networking, identity, secrets, environments, deployment paths.
• The internal company environment. The Microsoft 365 estate, Intune-managed devices, SharePoint and Teams, Power Platform automation, and the Copilot agents that AKUVO’s own employees use to do their jobs.

• Lead the team that operates AKUVO’s production and internal Azure environment — App Services, Container Apps, Azure SQL, Entra ID, Application Gateway, and the networking layer that fronts the platform.
• Own reliability, performance, and capacity — meet customer commitments, and run the monitoring, alerting, incident-response, and postmortem practice behind them.
• Manage customer-data-center connectivity — VPN tunnels, Azure Virtual WAN, and firewall posture, with playbooks that make new customer turn-ups fast and predictable.
• Lead the agentic operations agenda — Copilot in Azure, AI-driven monitoring and remediation, and automated runbooks that take recurring work (database setup, VPN config, certificate and secret rotation, IP whitelisting) off people’s plates.
• Own the cost line — manage the Azure footprint’s operating cost, remove waste without hurting availability or performance, and bring a defensible cost-to-serve view to the committee quarterly.
