Vice President Digital Transformation Jobs (NOW HIRING)

THE OPPORTUNITY

Our Mission.

Securing the materials to build our future.

Materials underpin the technologies that will define the future—from artificial intelligence and advanced electronics to energy and national defense. Principal Mineral is building the systems, capabilities, and markets that will strengthen domestic industrial capacity and secure the critical materials supply chain for generations to come.

Technology is central to that mission.

Principal Mineral is creating an integrated global manufacturing platform through the acquisition of industry-leading businesses, including Camden Copper, Isola Group, and Conductive Composites. As we continue to grow, technology will become a competitive advantage—connecting manufacturing, supply chain, commercial operations, and data into a scalable enterprise platform that accelerates innovation and business performance.

This is not a traditional IT leadership role.

It is an opportunity to build the enterprise technology and data platform that will support one of America's fastest-growing critical materials companies.

We are looking for a builder—someone energized by solving difficult problems, modernizing technology, leveraging data and AI, and creating capabilities that scale with the business.
