You will be responsible for our computer, storage and network infrastructure, technology support function and cybersecurity.

For the right candidate, this is a career-defining opportunity to shape the future of the Rue Gilt Groupe business and set the bar in fashion e-commerce. The VP, Technology Infrastructure role is based in either our Boston, MA HQ or New York City office with a flexible hybrid work schedule.

What You’ll Do:

Your scope of responsibility includes Cloud infrastructure, Database, DevOps, On-prem IT and Network Ops, Technology Support Services (TSS), and Cyber Security Operations.

Your organization will support RGG operations in our Boston HQ, New York office, SoCal office, Kentucky fulfillment center, Dublin Tech center as well as associates in remote locations.

Organizational Leadership: You’ll inspire, empower and lead a lean and efficient team with a leadership style that is well aligned with RGG company values, and our Technology culture of Accountability, Alignment and Transparency.

Relationship Building and Influence: You’ll build strong relationships with senior stakeholders across our business as well as with strategic vendor partners. You will establish strong working relationships with senior Product and Engineering leadership in the Technology organization. As a VP, you are a key leader in a fashion e-commerce business, beyond the technical domain expertise you will bring to the position. You have the executive communication skills to succinctly inform and influence senior executives and are comfortable operating in a business that has entrepreneurial roots, with a sharp eye on expenses and the bottom line.
Operational Excellence. We expect, and achieve, near 100% uptime of our e-commerce sites and apps. Your leadership promotes a world-class operational culture and keeps our platform highly available, secure, and operating at peak efficiency. You’ll ensure performance and agility without compromising our ability to deploy code quickly, securely, and reliably from laptops to production. You have extensive experience running the business of technology and are adept with budgets, contracts and investment cases. As RGG is very data-driven, you will lead your teams’ development and publication of essential KPIs and management dashboards.
Cybersecurity: You are responsible for our Cybersecurity team and our security posture. Your SecOps team establishes appropriate policies and protocols for cybersecurity; implements our security measures to prevent, detect or mitigate attacks; executes the necessary auditing and testing of our capabilities; leads the technology side of our compliance efforts.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
