At PMAT, we work on mission critical systems that directly support the warfighter, designing, building, and securing modern digital capabilities across cloud, data, and software environments. Our teams tackle complex, real-world challenges where delivery matters more than theory, and innovation is driven by curiosity, collaboration, and purpose.

In this role, you will lead PMAT’s internal enterprise IT function, ensuring that our corporate systems, infrastructure, and security posture operate at the highest level of reliability, resilience, and compliance. You will own and mature PMAT’s enterprise IT ecosystem — spanning network infrastructure, IT asset management, vendor relationships, cybersecurity controls, policy development, and operational continuity.

You will develop and execute PMAT’s internal IT roadmap, ensure alignment with organizational goals, manage IT budgets, and ensure that systems, networks, and cloud services operate securely and efficiently. This role requires hands-on technical credibility combined with strategic planning and operational leadership.

• Oversee enterprise documentation including system architecture diagrams, standards, procedures, and audit artifacts.
• Manage departmental budget, resource allocation, and IT project lifecycles from planning through execution.
• Provide technical leadership, staffing oversight, performance evaluations, training, and personnel management.
• Support internal audits and ensure traceability of systems, controls, and operational processes.
