DETAILS Location: Dallas, TX 75201 (onsite periodically / 1-2x per month, depending on location) Position Type: Direct-Hire Hourly / Salary: to $180K + 15% bonus structure JOB SUMMARY Vaco is currently seeking an IT Director for a direct-hire opportunity located in Dallas, TX 75201. The IT Director will support a fast-growing Dental Service Organization (DSO) with 48+ partner practices across multiple states by ensuring the reliability and performance of IT systems while balancing day-to-day operational support with long-term strategic planning. The IT Director will manage IT infrastructure, oversee vendor relationships, and lead cybersecurity initiatives, requiring a strong understanding of how critical IT is to enable seamless clinical and business operations. The IT Director will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams across the organization to identify and resolve challenges while designing and implementing technology solutions that enhance operational efficiency, safety, and scalability for clinical practices and the centralized support center. About the Project: The IT Director must strategically build and lead the first centralized, in-house IT function for a rapidly scaling, PE-backed dental support organization (DSO). The organization operates 49 dental practices across Texas and Oklahoma, with an approximate $110M run rate driven primarily by acquisitions. The IT Director will shift the company from a heavily outsourced and fragmented IT model, including an MSP for operations and cybersecurity, a third-party provider for Snowflake and Omni BI/analytics, and one internal Open Dental specialist, to a governed, strategically aligned in-house function that delivers measurable value. The IT Director will oversee the ongoing MSP relationship and the Open Dental specialist (initial direct report) while partnering on BI and data architecture. The IT Director must be explicitly strategic and process-oriented, not focused on hands-on technical support or field break /fix.
