Responsibilities

• Lead, coach, and develop a small IT team (help desk, infrastructure, applications), including setting priorities, providing feedback, and driving accountability.
• Own day‑to‑day IT operations: networks, servers, endpoints, phones, warehouse devices (scanners, printers), and core business applications (ERP, WMS, routing, ecommerce).
• Oversee incident management and problem management, including root‑cause analysis and preventive measures to minimize downtime for warehouse, logistics, and office teams.
• Partner closely with operations, warehouse, sales, and ecommerce leadership to understand needs, scope projects, and implement practical solutions that improve efficiency and reliability.
• Manage external vendors and service providers, including contracts, renewals, and escalations.
• Ensure adherence to security best practices, patching, backups, and disaster recovery procedures.
• Contribute to planning and execution for upgrades, migrations, and new system implementations as the company continues to modernize its technology stack.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in IT, with at least 2+ years in a lead or manager role overseeing a team.
• Strong hands‑on experience with Windows environments, networking, and supporting line‑of‑business systems.
• Experience in distribution, manufacturing, logistics, or other operations‑heavy environments is preferred.
• Ability to communicate clearly with non‑technical stakeholders and translate business priorities into actionable IT plans.
• Comfortable being onsite full‑time at our Philadelphia headquarters and occasionally in the warehouse/operations areas.
