Director of Technology

Who we are Isaac Operations is a hands‑on consulting firm that partners with organizations in manufacturing, shipbuilding, automotive, food and beverage, aerospace and defense, and energy to deliver real, lasting process improvement. We don’t just advise — we embed ourselves in our clients’ operations and execute alongside their teams. Technology is an increasingly powerful force multiplier in this work, and our growing Isaac Technology team sits at the intersection of consulting and custom software development, data analytics, and digital transformation.

We are looking for an exceptional Director of Technology to lead our technology team and define its future. This is a rare opportunity for a senior technology leader who thrives at the intersection of business strategy, client engagement, and hands‑on technical delivery. You will inherit a talented team of 10–15 developers, data analysts, and technology consultants, and be given the objective to grow it along with the Isaac Technology business. You must be able to walk into a client’s facility, deeply understand a complex operational problem, and inspire both the client’s leadership and our engineering team with a compelling, practical technology solution. You will be as comfortable presenting to a VP of Operations as you are reviewing a software architecture with your development team.

While we offer a flexible working environment, this role is expected to be in person at our Liberty Village office a minimum of three days per week on average, with additional client travel as needed.
