Chief Information Officer

We’re looking for a Chief Information Officer to build a technology foundation that helps our teams move quickly, keeps our platform reliable, and protects our people, customers, and data.

Reporting to the Chief Technology Officer, you’ll lead IT, Infrastructure and Operations, SecOps, and Business Analytics Engineering, including Revenue Insights team members. You’ll strengthen the systems behind our always-on advertising platform, improve how our technology and teams work together, and build for MNTN’s continued growth. A key priority will be putting AI to work across Data Analytics and Business Analytics Engineering to automate workflows, make data easier to access and understand, and help teams make better business decisions.

You’ll bring software engineering experience, public company experience, and a strong understanding of governance and compliance. You’ll own technology and security controls across MNTN, partnering with Legal and Finance on compliance, risk management, and audit readiness. Working closely with executive leadership and the Audit Committee, you’ll communicate risks, progress, and priorities clearly.

You know how to set direction, develop strong leaders, and get close enough to the work to ask the right questions. You bring structure, make smart investments, and build accountability while giving people room to do their best work.

What you’ll do

• Set the strategy and deliver. Own the roadmap across IT, Infrastructure and Operations, SecOps, and Business Analytics Engineering, including Revenue Insights. Connect investments, staffing, and priorities to MNTN’s growth, product direction, and business needs.
• Build controls into how we work. Own technology and security policies, controls, evidence collection, and remediation across MNTN. Partner with Legal and Finance on SOX IT general controls, SOC 2 readiness, customer security requirements, and privacy and data protection obligations.
• Make everyday technology work better. Lead enterprise IT, including identity and access management, endpoints, collaboration tools, SaaS administration, and team member support. Simplify onboarding, offboarding, and everyday workflows through automation and thoughtful integrations.
• Scale infrastructure with performance in mind. Partner with Engineering and Data to evolve cloud infrastructure, platform tooling, and production operations. Balance availability, latency, capacity, resilience, and cost across systems supporting ad delivery, audience data, and measurement.
• Own and strengthen security operations. Lead threat detection and response, vulnerability management, cloud and endpoint security, and identity protection. Establish a security roadmap based on risk, with clear priorities, measurable progress, and security built into infrastructure and development practices.
• Raise the bar for reliability and response. Establish clear service expectations, actionable monitoring, and coordinated operational and security incident response. Strengthen change management, on-call practices, disaster recovery, and business continuity, with tested plans and follow-through on lessons learned.
• Build controls into how we work. Own technology and security policies, controls, evidence collection, and remediation across your teams. Partner with Legal and Finance on SOX IT general controls, SOC 2 readiness, customer security requirements, and privacy and data protection obligations.
• Make technology investments count. Own budgets, vendor relationships, and resource planning. Improve visibility into cloud, software, and security spending, reduce unnecessary complexity, and make clear decisions about what to build, buy, consolidate, or retire.
• Turn data into better decisions. Lead Business Analytics Engineering and Revenue Insights to deliver trusted data, reporting, and decision-making tools. Advance practical AI use across Data Analytics and Business Analytics Engineering to automate workflows and help teams access, interpret, and act on data.
