Director of Information Systems
Fieldpiece is the innovation leader in professional HVACR tools and test instruments, trusted by technicians worldwide. We're investing aggressively in product innovation, connected technologies, AI-enabled solutions, and world-class product development. This role is based in our Park City, UT office with an exciting move to Heber City, UT in 2028. Named one of the Best Places to Work in Southern California for four consecutive years.
About the role
As our first in-house Information Systems leader, you'll build and manage a growing team and take ownership of the technology environment currently supported through managed service providers. You'll establish the strategy, architecture, processes, and internal capabilities we need for the future — working across the business to tackle challenging systems and data problems, improve how information flows between platforms, and ensure our internal business data is accurate, accessible, governed, and ready to drive better decisions.
Responsibilities
- Build our internal IS function and capabilities from the ground up
- Own infrastructure and cybersecurity: ensure secure, reliable systems, access, networks, business continuity, and disaster recovery
- Lead our managed service providers: set expectations, manage performance and cost, and make decisions on future requirements
- Build a trusted business data foundation: improve data quality, governance, integrations, and accessibility for reporting, dashboards, and analytics
- Own enterprise systems: lead our Microsoft Dynamics 365 environment, integrations, and technology roadmap
- Drive automation and AI: use governed business data to automate reporting, workflows, and other manual processes to improve business decision-making
- Build and lead a growing internal team to effectively manage our infrastructure and systems
- Partner with leadership: translate business needs into technology priorities, investments, and solutions
Why this role is different
You won't be stepping into a large IT department with everything already defined — you'll be the person who defines it. You'll inherit capable external partners and an existing technology environment with the opportunity to determine what the future should look like. It's a strong opportunity for someone who can operate at both levels: setting the strategy and rolling up their sleeves to make it happen.
