About the job
SkyWater Search Partners has been retained by a privately held business that has grown significantly through both acquisition and organic growth, and is now building a technology function to match. The people are collaborative, candid, and invested in each other's success.
This is the number one IT role. You would report to the CEO, lead a handful of direct reports and the teams beneath them, and work hybrid from a Twin Cities office. AI use is still early, and the client wants a leader who has taken it into production in an operational setting and can turn data into an advantage for the business.
Non-negotiables:
Production AI or data work you can speak to in detail
Multi-site operations support, where uptime comes first
A clear, credible executive communicator
Current #1 or #2 at a $800MM-$5B business
The seat has real influence over strategy and includes a long term equity component.
