Optomi, in partnership with a leading healthcare organization, is seeking an IT Manager to fulfill a contract-to-hire opportunity with a client based in Long Island, NY. This individual will serve as the local technology leader and trusted partner between practice leadership, managed service providers (MSPs), technology vendors, and the broader enterprise IT organization.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced IT professional who has built a strong technical foundation and is ready to take greater ownership of IT operations, service delivery, vendor management, and technology strategy. The IT Manager will be responsible for maintaining a stable and secure technology environment while supporting a major enterprise integration initiative as the practices transition from locally managed technology environments onto standardized enterprise network, infrastructure, security, identity, and endpoint platforms.
This is not a hands-off management position. The ideal candidate will be comfortable setting priorities, managing technology partners, and holding vendors accountable while remaining technically capable of rolling up their sleeves when needed.
