Operations Manager Jobs in Dallas, PA (NOW HIRING)

Description

THREE is hiring a Cloud Operations Manager to own and evolve our internal IT environment, including Azure infrastructure, identity and access, endpoint management, security posture, employee lifecycle operations, audit readiness, and the application ecosystem that supports the business.

This is the senior IT role at THREE and a true player/coach position. This role combines strategic ownership with hands-on execution. You will set standards, make sound technical and operational decisions, troubleshoot directly when needed, and own outcomes across the environment.

While not a software engineering role, this position requires strong technical fluency across modern cloud platforms, security tooling, observability, and application infrastructure to effectively contribute to system design and operational decisions.

You will partner closely with Engineering, Security, Finance, People Operations, helpdesk, and business stakeholders to ensure the IT environment is secure, maintainable, audit-ready, and responsive to business needs.

This is a hybrid remote role that requires onsite presence in Pittston, PA at least once every other month. Candidates must live within a reasonable driving distance of either the Pittston, PA or Omaha, NE BHDIC office for required onsite meetings as needed in whichever BHDIC office is local to the employee.
