The Director of Business Technology will lead IT strategy, cybersecurity, and infrastructure while driving digital transformation through AI-based automation. This role involves managing vendor relationships, overseeing IT budgets, and collaborating with executive leadership to optimize business processes.
Position Overview
RAB is a fully remote, fully cloud-based company. We run a national lighting manufacturing and distribution business with no on-premises servers, no office network to babysit, and a modern SaaS stack already in place. The Director of Business Technology isn’t being hired to build that foundation — it’s built. We’re hiring someone to take it to the next level.
The next level is AI. We want a Director who sees every manual process, every handoff, and every report as a candidate for automation, and who is capable of actually doing it — evaluating tools, writing or directing the integrations, and shipping working systems that change how RAB operates. You’ll own IT strategy, cybersecurity, systems, and vendor relationships, and the environment has to stay secure and reliable — that’s table stakes. The measure of success beyond that is how much of the business you’ve transformed.
This is a hands-on role for someone who is as comfortable in an API or a data pipeline as in a budget review, and who is excited that the tools now exist to rebuild how a mid-sized company works.
