Site IT Technology Leader

Job title: Site IT Technology Leader

Georgia-Pacific is seeking a Site IT Technology Leader for our Brewton, AL containerboard manufacturing facility. You will be the site IT leader and accountable partner to mill leadership — aligning people, priorities, and technology to safely enable reliable operations and manufacturing transformation. This hands-on leadership role requires strong people leadership, clear communication, and the ability to build trust across IT, OT/process control, engineering, and operations.

What You'll Do

• Lead, coach, and develop the site IT team — setting clear expectations, building capability, and creating a culture of ownership, learning, and strong customer partnerships.
• Build strong partnerships with process control, engineering, and corporate IT capabilities; connect the right resources to solve problems quickly and sustainably.
• Own and execute the site technical roadmap in partnership with mill leadership to improve reliability, enable manufacturing transformation, and deliver continuous improvement.
• Run ITIL-aligned operations (incident, problem, change), including clear stakeholder communications, root-cause follow-up, and end-to-end escalation ownership for production-impacting events.
• Track and improve service performance using a ticketing tool (e.g., ServiceNow or equivalent) and KPIs/SLAs (backlog, repeat incidents, MTTR) with a regular operating cadence.
• Lead site-based IT projects end-to-end — partnering with stakeholders from scope through implementation, training, and sustainment.
• Adhere to cybersecurity standards and process-control security requirements; champion secure-by-design practices across the site.
• Support and improve site IT/OT infrastructure (networks, servers, endpoints, and OT connectivity) — including architecture/segmentation best practices, secure access, and timely troubleshooting/restoration of service.

What We're Looking For

• Experience leading and developing technical teams in a manufacturing environment (coaching, performance management, and capability building).
• Ability to build strong partnerships across operations, maintenance, engineering, and process control; comfortable influencing without authority.
• Experience with network infrastructure technologies, including switching, routing, and wireless.
• Knowledge of virtualization.

Compensation & Benefits

• Highly competitive compensation based on experience.
• Relocation assistance for the right candidate — national candidates encouraged to apply.
• Comprehensive benefits: medical/dental/vision, 401(k) with company match, and paid time off.
• Total compensation package includes sign-on incentives and relocation assistance.
