Due to an upcoming retirement, we are currently seeking an IT Director. In this high-impact role, you will be responsible for providing technical and administrative support for all New Skete networks, servers, computer workstations, internet access, voice communications systems, and related software. You will install, maintain and repair servers, workstations, network connectivity and a variety of related peripheral equipment. You will also be responsible for ensuring security over access to systems and data, and that data is adequately protected and archived to ensure availability of services for employees and monastics, totaling roughly 30 users. You may also occasionally assist with other administrative functions as needed.

This is an onsite role, though occasional remote work may be accommodated. This role is expected to monitor system performance and connectivity at all times, and be able to respond on days off to system malfunctions or other emergency needs. If you are flexible, we can be, and this is a great role for you!

To be considered for the role, you should have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related technical field. An Associate’s degree plus substantial technical related experience will be considered.

In addition, you will be able to work independently and manage multiple priorities and be able to sit and use computer equipment for several hours a day. You’ll also be expected to travel between two local New Skete sites as needed, so reliable transportation is a must. Finally, we expect the highest level of honesty, integrity and the ability to maintain strict confidentiality of individual and company information at all times.
