INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY · PEOPLE MANAGER Director of IT MISUMI Americas · Global (US / India / China / Mexico) · Team of ~14 · Up to 10% travel · US citizen or permanent resident THE OPPORTUNITY MISUMI Americas is the product of two strong brands coming together with a shared ambition: to become the defining force in digital manufacturing. MISUMI USA brings decades of established trust, global scale, and an unmatched catalog. Fictiv brings a track record of technology-led innovation and a relentless drive to reimagine how manufacturing gets done.

Together, we're not just combining companies — we're building something more capable than either could be alone, with the resources of an industry leader and the energy of a company that still thinks like a challenger. IT infrastructure is foundational to getting that right. We've combined two organizations onto a shared technology platform, and we're doing it deliberately — investing in world-class security, modern tooling, and a team that treats every employee as a high-value customer.

This is your chance to own that effort end to end: finish the integration, then run and grow the IT organization that will support MISUMI Americas for years to come. This isn't a steady-state role. It's a rare window where someone with real technical depth — hands-on with Entra ID, Intune, SIEM, Slack Enterprise Grid — can shape the architecture of a combined organization and leave a durable mark.

You'll lead a globally distributed team of ~14 across India, China, Mexico, and the US, and you'll work directly in the systems you oversee, not just manage the people who do.
