IT Manager

Description We're looking for a hands-on, multi-site IT Manager to own the technology backbone of our growing car wash portfolio! In this role, you won't just sit at a desk and manage tickets—you'll be the go-to expert for DRB, MICRO, and CRM systems across every brand and every site. You'll lead site openings, respond to outages in real time, manage vendors, and partner with operations leaders to keep our tunnels running and our members happy. This is a great opportunity for an IT professional who knows the car wash technology stack, thrives on multi-site work, and is ready to take ownership of the systems that make our business actually run.

TO SUM IT UP

Our car washes can't operate without the technology that runs them—and that's where you come in. As our IT Manager , you're not just an administrator; you're the leader who keeps POS terminals running, tunnel controls calibrated, and the CRM connected to every other system we depend on. From late-night outage calls to brand-new site openings, you'll be the person who makes sure the technology never gets in the way of the wash. If you're hands-on, calm under pressure, and energized by getting on a plane to bring a new site live, this role is for you. You'll manage the full technology stack across multiple brands and sites, lead high-priority projects, and build the IT function as the company grows.
