Reporting directly to the CFO, the Senior Director of IT will have an opportunity to build the IT function in a dynamic, growth-oriented public company with an opportunity to become a first-in-field leader in an exciting new therapeutic space.  You will be the primary IT advisor to the Company, an active part of building all aspects of our IT strategy and infrastructure from the ground up.   You will start with the basics of WiFi connectivity, phone network reliability, and data security.   As we grow, you will help us move into the cloud, build ERP systems with complex manufacturing and supply chain requirements, manage multiple site locations, and identify new tools to help with productivity and organizational efficiency.    Some key areas of influence include:

• Systems & Networks -  Lead & manage onsite, mobile and cloud based company infrastructure, make decisions on in-sourced vs. outsourced deskside support as well as telecommunication activities; provide multi-platform support to meet the various needs of different user groups, determine strategy for data center and back-up locations, and probably a whole list of other things we haven’t considered yet.

• Data Integrity/Security - Working closely with Legal, you will ensure we have the appropriate protections in place to maintain our  data integrity and confidentiality as we carve out our footprint as leaders in the microbiome sciences.  You will help us strike the right balance between supporting collaboration tools (Macs, Google platform) versus increasing requests from regulatory-minded individuals for PCs with Microsoft Office/Sharepoint.

• Business Applications - Lead portfolio and resource management capabilities, driving the prioritization of technology projects.  Work with business technology architects to identify potential solutions that match the business strategy with the technology strategy.  Drive all budget and cost decisions.

You will be a good fit for this role if you have significant industry experience in both small/biotech and large/pharmaceutical or biologics companies, preferably in a previous Head of IT role.   You will also have led a company through significant transitions via facility expansion and/or move and product launch.   In other words, you woke up one day and suddenly discovered that you had several hundred brand new end-users to support.  Most importantly, you will be willing to roll up your sleeves and do “real work.”   You will strive to be a good partner and put your own interests behind those of the team.   We work at a rapid pace and we are navigating an entirely new scientific area with unique challenges.    We also have a near term commercial opportunity with our recently attained “Breakthrough” designation for our lead asset, SER 109. If this sounds interesting, we’d love to hear from you.
