Description

We are looking for an accomplished Fractional IT Consultant to lead a short-term Contract engagement focused on evaluating and strengthening a complex, multi-entity technology environment in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This role will provide an objective view of current infrastructure, service delivery, and operational readiness while advising leadership on practical next steps to support expansion and stability.

Assess the dependability of core systems such as networks, physical security technology, user support services, and on-site operational IT capabilities.
Evaluate internal IT oversight by reviewing policies, process documentation, control practices, escalation methods, and management reporting.
Identify areas of operational risk, inefficiency, and inconsistency, then outline opportunities to improve standardization and support future growth.
Gather input from executives, department leaders, and operational stakeholders to understand business needs, pain points, and technology priorities.
Provide strategic guidance on target-state IT organization design, governance structure, staffing needs, and investment planning.
Review ongoing initiatives, including productivity platform changes and enterprise system modernization efforts, as part of the broader technology assessment.
Present a final leadership-level summary that translates findings into a prioritized roadmap with clear recommendations and next-step actions.

Requirements

10+ years of experience in IT consulting, infrastructure assessment, technology operations, or a related senior advisory capacity.
Demonstrated success conducting independent reviews of IT environments and translating findings into practical business recommendations.
Strong knowledge of IT service delivery models, vendor oversight, and business risk assessment.
Experience working in multi-site or geographically distributed organizations with operationally diverse environments.
Ability to communicate effectively with executive audiences as well as front-line operational teams.
Background in project management, with familiarity in tools and methodologies such as Agile, Scrum, Jira, or PMP-based practices.
