IT Manager

Tech Partners Co. LLC, Tulsa, OK, United States


About the job IT Manager

IT Manager - On-site (Tulsa, OK)

Salary Range:

$75,000-$130,000 DOE

Tech Partners is partnering with a well-established, multi-office professional services organization to identify an

IT Manager

who can step into a high-impact leadership role and help guide the next phase of their technology evolution.

This position is

on-site in Tulsa, OK,

and replaces a long-tenured IT leader. The client is looking for a

business-savvy IT professional -someone who can own the technology environment end to end, drive cybersecurity efforts, and build a forward-looking IT strategy, while still being comfortable rolling up their sleeves when needed.

What This Role Is Really About

This is not a pure keep-the-lights-on IT role. The client wants:

A

strategic IT leader

who can build and execute a technology roadmap aligned with business goals
A

hands-on technical expert

who truly understands the Azure / Microsoft 365 stack they're responsible for
An internal

owner of cybersecurity , not just someone who manages vendors
A leader who can

communicate clearly with executives

and translate IT decisions into business impact
Someone who can

lead, mentor, and elevate a small IT team

while driving accountability and modernization
The environment supports ~250 users across five locations, with a mix of in-office and hybrid employees.

Key Responsibilities

Own overall IT strategy, infrastructure, and day-to-day operations
Build and maintain a technology roadmap aligned to business and risk priorities
Lead and develop a small internal IT team (including Help Desk resources in Tulsa and OKC)
Oversee Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, identity, access, and cloud services
Support hybrid work through VPN and secure remote access
Serve as the internal owner of cybersecurity efforts, including policies, risk management, and incident response
Coordinate with an external cybersecurity partner (including PEN testing and remediation)
Manage vendors across cloud, connectivity, cybersecurity, and telephony (RingCentral)
Oversee IT hardware lifecycle (laptops, desktops, mobile devices, peripherals)
Explore automation and AI-driven solutions, including AI agents, where they add real business value
What They're Looking For

Must Have:

7+ years of progressive IT experience, including leadership or ownership of an IT environment
Strong hands-on experience with Azure and Microsoft 365
Broad infrastructure, networking, and systems knowledge
Demonstrated cybersecurity ownership (beyond just vendor coordination)
Experience supporting multi-location and hybrid users
Nice to Have:

Experience building or managing AI agents or intelligent automation
Background in professional services, insurance, financial services, or other regulated environments
Relevant technical or security certifications
Why This Opportunity Stands Out

High visibility and influence with executive leadership
Opportunity to modernize and shape IT after a 20+ year tenure transition
Balance of strategic ownership and hands-on responsibility
Stable organization investing intentionally in technology and security

If you're an IT leader who enjoys

owning the environment, influencing strategy, and being the go-to technology partner for the business , this is worth a conversation.
