Senior Director Infrastructure & Cloud Architecture

This is a newly created, highly strategic role at the intersection of infrastructure strategy, cloud architecture and technical leadership. The organization has strong engineering and operational capabilities and is now looking for a senior architectural leader to define the target state, establish technology standards and roadmaps, and guide teams toward scalable, secure and modern infrastructure.
