It Infrastructure Operations Manager Jobs in Minnesota

We are seeking a hands-on Senior Manager, IT Infrastructure & Operations to lead and support the day-to-day operation of our global IT environment.

This is a high-impact leadership role in a lean, agile IT organization and is ideal for a working manager who enjoys both strategic ownership and hands-on problem solving. The role leads a blended team of employees, contractors, regional support contacts, and select service providers, with responsibility for infrastructure architecture, operational stability, service delivery, and the continued growth of the IT operations function.

The position combines technical depth with operational leadership across infrastructure services, networking, cloud environments, help desk operations, and the core technologies that support a growing global medical technology company. Working closely with IT peers and leadership, this person will help shape how Infrastructure & Operations scales over time, including future team design, service models, and technology investments. This role also offers the opportunity to help design and build the next-level IT organization over the next two years as the company scales toward commercial readiness, with meaningful opportunity for the role to grow in scope and impact along the way.
