About the role

  • Own IT service delivery across clinics and corporate teams: incident, request, problem, and change management.
  • Lead service desk performance (triage quality, first-contact resolution, AHT, backlog hygiene), escalation paths, and knowledge management.
  • Ensure high availability and performance of core IT platforms: identity (Entra ID), M365, endpoint management (Intune), networking/Wi-Fi, and infrastructure services.
  • Establish and maintain operational standards: device lifecycle, patching cadence, backup/restore, remote support, site onboarding/offboarding playbooks, vendor runbooks.
  • Drive vendor governance for MSPs, telecom/ISP, security providers, and infrastructure partners—ensure KPIs, accountability, and cost control.
  • Manage operational budgeting: renewals, licensing optimization, hardware standards, and cost-to-support metrics.
  • Lead QualDerm’s security operations and risk reduction roadmap aligned to HIPAA and healthcare expectations.
  • Implement and maintain foundational controls:
  • - Identity & access management (MFA, conditional access, privileged access)
  • - Endpoint security (EDR, encryption, secure configuration baselines)
  • - Vulnerability management (scanning, remediation SLAs, reporting)
  • - Email and collaboration security (phishing protection, DLP where appropriate)
  • - Logging/monitoring (SIEM where needed), alert triage, and incident response playbooks
  • Own incident response readiness: tabletop exercises, communication plans, evidence preservation, and post-incident improvements.
  • Partner with Compliance/Legal on security policies, risk assessments, BAAs, vendor security reviews, and audit readiness.
  • Drive security awareness with measurable outcomes (phishing resilience, training completion, high-risk user targeting).
  • Build a “single source of truth” operating cadence: weekly metrics, monthly risk and reliability reviews, quarterly roadmap updates.
  • Create and maintain documentation: SOPs, runbooks, asset standards, disaster recovery procedures, and escalation matrices.
  • Identify automation opportunities in service workflows (e.g., provisioning, access requests, device setup, ticket routing) to reduce manual work.

Requirements

  • - 8–12+ years in IT operations leadership, including multi-site or distributed environments
  • - Demonstrated ownership of IT service management (ITIL-aligned) and measurable operational outcomes
  • - Hands-on experience with Microsoft ecosystem: M365, Entra ID, Intune, endpoint security, conditional access
  • - Security leadership experience implementing practical controls (IAM, endpoint, vulnerability management, IR)
  • - Vendor management expertise (MSP/MSSP/telecom) with KPI-driven accountability
  • - Strong communicator who can translate technical issues into business impact and risk
  • **Preferred**
  • - Healthcare experience (HIPAA, PHI handling, vendor BAAs, audit readiness)
  • - Familiarity with Freshservice (or similar ITSM) and automation/workflow tools (Power Automate, scripting)
  • - Experience supporting EMR environments and clinical workflows (ModMed EMA/PM exposure a plus)
  • - Security certifications: CISSP, CISM, CCSP, or equivalent; IT certs (ITIL, Microsoft) helpful
