Staff and Faculty members are the cornerstone of our school. In addition to driving the school’s operations, they must also embody the school’s values and believe in the school’s mission:

Reporting to the Director of Operations and Head of School and serving on the leadership team, the Director of Technology leads a small, high-touch team with two direct reports — an Assistant Director of Technology, who anchors infrastructure, systems, and support, and a Technology Integrationist who anchors educational technology and classroom integration. The Director also partners closely with the Registrar on student data, records, and reporting, and manages various vendors. This structure lets the Director balance enterprise IT and educational technology while leaning into a strategic role in planning and oversight.

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, & Personal Characteristics we are looking for:

• 
  A bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university is a minimum requirement; a graduate degree is desirable. Equivalent professional experience will be considered.
• 
  Progressive leadership experience managing technology functions and supervising staff, preferably in educational or non-profit settings — paired with a willingness to remain hands-on, since this is a working leadership role, not a purely supervisory one.
• 
  Proficiency across key areas of technology management, including enterprise IT, educational technology, data systems, cybersecurity, and end-user support — with the technical depth to do the work directly, not only direct others.
• 
  Demonstrated success managing third-party providers, contracts, and SLAs, and leading concurrent projects with a proven ability to set priorities, adapt, and deliver results.
• 
  Strong knowledge of cybersecurity fundamentals, data privacy, and incident response; familiarity with core enterprise environments (e.g., Google Workspace, identity and access management, networking, endpoint management).
• 
  A track record of stretching resources creatively and stewarding technology budgets responsibly — delivering meaningful outcomes within real-world financial constraints.
• 
  Relevant technical certifications are a plus — for example, Google Workspace Administrator / Google Admin certification or networking and security credentials.

• 
  Experience supporting educational technology in an education setting and familiarity with school systems (SIS, admissions CRM, advancement platforms), are pluses.
