Director of Technology – IT Strategy & Transformation
Job Description
Director of Technology – Strategic IT Leadership for a Global People-Focused Organization
Location: Lincoln, NE (Hybrid: 3–4 days/week onsite)
Compensation: $130K–$180K base + annual profit share + comprehensive benefits
If you’re a strategic technology leader who thrives at the intersection of innovation, operational excellence, and business growth, this opportunity offers a rare platform to shape an entire organization’s future. This is your chance to guide a values-driven, globally respected professional services firm through modernization, digital transformation, and long-term tech enablement—while working alongside a highly collaborative executive team that values your voice at the table.
You’ll be stepping into a newly created role with a clear mandate: lead technology strategy, ensure operational stability, and align tech initiatives with ambitious business goals. With the right vision, you’ll not just maintain the status quo—you’ll elevate it, setting the standard for how technology supports and drives a thriving, people-first culture.
The Opportunity
In this role, you’ll have end-to-end accountability for all technology operations, strategy, and innovation at the enterprise level. You’ll guide cloud infrastructure, application portfolios, cybersecurity, and software development processes, while ensuring technology investments directly advance the company’s strategic vision.
This is not a maintenance role—it’s a transformational leadership opportunity for someone who can envision and implement technology roadmaps that drive both short-term wins and long-term scalability.
Core Requirements
The ideal candidate will bring:
- Proven technology leadership at both strategic and operational levels, ideally in a service-based or consulting environment.
- Strong cloud infrastructure expertise — hands-on knowledge of AWS, Azure, or similar platforms, including security best practices.
- Enterprise application oversight — particularly ERP, CRM, and other mission-critical systems.
- Understanding of software development principles — at least basic coding knowledge — and a solid grasp of Agile processes.
- Experience leading cross-functional teams and fostering collaboration between IT and business units.
- Vendor and partner management skills, including contract negotiation and performance management.
- Change management expertise — demonstrated success guiding organizations through major technology transformations.
- Exceptional communication skills — able to convey complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
Bonus Skills
- Experience in professional services or consulting environments.
- Proven success driving digital transformation initiatives.
Why This Role is Different
- High-impact leadership: You’ll be shaping technology strategy from the ground up in a role that reports directly to the president.
- Balanced innovation: You’ll have the autonomy to modernize systems while ensuring operational stability.
- People-first culture: Work alongside a leadership team that values trust, collaboration, and professional growth.
- Global reach: Influence technology initiatives across a diverse client base spanning multiple industries and geographies.
If you’re ready to combine your technical expertise with visionary leadership to make a lasting organizational impact, we want to hear from you.

Kinga Wilson
Founder & Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
After moving to the U.S. from England and beginning her career in the IT industry, Kinga saw a problem that needed to be fixed.
There was a disconnect between job seekers and employers, leading to a frustrating recruiting process and, worse, poor hiring decisions.
In 1998, Kinga founded her own search firm—Leaders IT Recruitment—in Lincoln, Nebraska—to bridge that gap. The firm has grown organically through satisfied clients' referrals and has since evolved into Insight Recruitment, partnering with businesses and job candidates across the country while setting the bar for what a recruitment agency should be.
"We get our clients' attention by giving them the clarity they need to make better hiring decisions," Kinga says. "We've helped candidates secure truly life-changing career opportunities, and we've made a meaningful impact on companies by helping them build stronger teams that drive long-term success."
Kinga understands what exceptional candidates are looking for while never losing sight of what businesses need most. She and her small-but-mighty team remain focused on one thing above all else: delivering on their commitments and providing an outstanding experience for every client and candidate they serve.
"Our tools, strategies, and focus have evolved over the years, but our core values have never changed," Kinga says. "We've always believed in quality over quantity, high-touch service from the very beginning, and building lasting relationships based on trust. I'm fortunate to have a team that shares that same commitment to excellence."
It's that partnership approach that continues to set Insight Recruitment apart.
