At McMaster University, our people are our most valuable asset. We strive to attract, develop, and retain the best faculty and staff, and to foster an inclusive community which values the strengths, perspectives and contributions of everyone. McMaster’s profile and stature have evolved to one of the Top 100 Universities in the World and recognition as Canada’s Most Research-Intensive University. McMaster is a diverse and complex institution, home to almost 30,000 graduate and undergraduate students who study across six faculties and employing approximately 14,000 individuals annually in more than 20 unique employee groups. McMaster has been continuously recognized as one of the top employers in the Hamilton / Niagara region, and one of Canada’s Top Diversity Employers.

Our University Technology Services team mission is to provide exceptional customer service and a high level of support to the McMaster community. Critical to the success of this role we stand by and value integrity, mutual respect, collaboration and cooperation in support of the University’s IT Strategic Vision of a connected One IT community.

This includes data centre services, hybrid and multi‑cloud environments, networks, enterprise architecture, digital enablement (including AI capabilities), and the protection of institutional information through privacy and information security practices. The portfolio supports enterprise‑wide digital transformation initiatives and ensures that technology investments align with organizational strategy, risk posture, and operational resilience. In addition, the portfolio enables digital transformation by providing modern, efficient, and secure technology platforms that support teaching, learning, research, and administrative functions across the University.

About the Role

The Associate Director, Digital Infrastructure Strategy advances the modernization and evolution of the University’s digital infrastructure.

You bring deep expertise in enterprise infrastructure, architecture, and digital modernization, along with the ability to build partnerships and influence decisions across a diverse environment.

You thrive in roles that balance strategy, leadership, and execution, and are energized by guiding teams through transformative initiatives involving hybrid cloud, data centres, networking, AI enablement, security, and emerging technologies. Most importantly, you are a collaborative leader who can bring people together around a shared vision and drive meaningful change at an enterprise scale.
