Position Summary: Futuro Health is seeking a Director of Technology Solutions to lead the strategic direction and operational execution of our technology infrastructure, data systems, and enterprise applications. This is a leadership role for someone who thinks like a technologist and solutions architect first — someone who can design, implement, and maintain reliable systems, direct and develop technical teams, and ensure the platforms powering our learner experience and enterprise are secure, scalable, well-governed, and responsive to business needs. This person will own our core technology infrastructure (built on .NET, SQL Server, Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM), evaluate architecture and vendor decisions, and hold technical leaders accountable for delivery. The Director will partner with program, Scholar-facing and client-facing leadership, and other teams to translate organizational needs into technical solutions, including working closely with the Director of Instructional Design to ensure new learning tools integrate cleanly with the broader technology environment.
