Director of Information Technology

You'll be accountable for the availability, security, and usefulness of Magna's IT systems, with Microsoft 365 at the center. That means owning the platform's strategy and roadmap, making sure it's secure and well governed, and making sure our people actually get value from it — not just that it's switched on.

You'll partner with operations leadership to understand what the business needs, work with the VP of IT and Technology leadership to set priorities and policies, and coordinate with our Information Security Officer on data security and resiliency. You'll also oversee the Azure and infrastructure environments behind Microsoft 365 and our business-critical applications, and manage the vendors and partners we rely on.

You'll lead a geographically distributed IT team, and a big part of your job is raising the level of the whole organization — developing your people, standardizing how we work, and leading by example.
