Program Overview
The Senior Manager, Corporate IT leads RIVA's internal Corporate IT organization and is responsible for the strategy, administration, security, and day-to-day operation of the company's enterprise technology ecosystem. This role supports business operations by ensuring secure, efficient, and compliant technology services across the organization.
Position Overview
RIVA is seeking a proactive, hands-on Manager, Corporate IT to keep the company and its employees running every day.
