Cybersecurity & Threat Management

Help Desk & End-User Support

Organizational IT Leadership & Representation
• Serve as the primary face of the IT department across the organization — building trust and credibility with clinical staff, administration, department heads, and the board. Translate complex technical concepts into plain language for non-technical audiences, and actively participate in leadership meetings, committees, and strategic planning sessions. Foster a service-oriented culture within IT, ensuring staff and clinicians view the department as a responsive partner in care delivery rather than a barrier. In a rural hospital, where the IT team is small and highly visible, the IT Manager's approachability and communication style directly shapes how technology initiatives are received and adopted organization wide. Represent the hospital externally with vendors, regional health networks, state agencies, and peer institutions, and advocate for technology resources and funding that support the hospital's mission.
The above list should not be considered all-inclusive as other duties will be assigned as needed.
