About the role
- Form Energy is scaling quickly across research, engineering, and manufacturing, and maturing the operating and control discipline that comes with rapid growth.
- This role reports to the Chief Digital Officer.
- This is a hybrid role, which will require working onsite from our office in Somerville, MA 3+ days per week.
Responsibilities
- Lead and develop the IT organization through three directors - IT Engineering & Platforms, IT Operations, and Cybersecurity & GRC - including responsibility for hiring the director-level leaders and shaping the teams beneath them.
- Build a lean, excellence-over-headcount IT organization - delivering reliability and service at scale with a disciplined team rather than growth-by-hiring.
- Own the enterprise cybersecurity program at the executive level - detection and response, identity and access, vulnerability management, and incident response - and the cyber incident-disclosure and materiality-determination governance in partnership with Legal, Finance, and executive leadership.
- Scale IT for high-growth manufacturing - ensuring infrastructure, networks, endpoints, and enterprise systems keep pace with new capacity, multi-shift operations, and site build-outs, and partnering with manufacturing controls teams on the secure IT/OT boundary (without owning operational technology).
- Build the infrastructure and application foundations that enable AI across the company, and drive AI-powered automation of IT's own functions and services - leading AI adoption by example within the IT organization.
- Champion AI as a force multiplier for a lean team, and stand ready to support broader enterprise enablement as the company's AI operating model matures.
- Own the IT operating and capital budget, major vendor and platform strategy, and licensing - making pragmatic build/buy and consolidation decisions that balance capability, risk, and cost.
- Genuine commitment to and excitement for AI as a force multiplier - with a track record of building the infrastructure and application enablement that AI adoption requires and of driving AI-powered automation within their own organization by example.
- Demonstrated ability to attract, build, and retain extraordinary talent, and to hold a consistently high bar for performance expectations across the team - developing leaders and raising the caliber of the organization over time.
- A track record of building lean, metrics-driven, audit-ready IT operations with high service levels across multiple sites.
Nice to have
- Experience leading IT through a period of significant company scaling and maturing controls, ideally in manufacturing, energy, or critical-infrastructure sectors.
- Familiarity with the IT/OT boundary in a manufacturing setting.
- Breadth across enterprise platforms (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Atlassian), enterprise business systems (ERP, PLM), identity, and cloud.
- Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISA, PMP, ITIL, Microsoft / cloud) or equivalent demonstrated expertise.
- This starts from day one.
- Requests for accommodations will be treated with discretion.
- Form Energy is committed to maintaining the privacy of our applicants.
- Please be aware that we will never solicit sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers or bank account details during the recruiting or hiring process.
Compensation
- Humanity is a cornerstone of Form Energy's culture, and we make sure our compensation and benefits reflect that.
Benefits
- Provide clear, decision-ready, executive- and board-quality reporting on IT strategy, control coverage, cybersecurity posture, and operational health.
