Cooke is a global seafood company with operations in North America, Europe, South America and Australia. Our company's success is driven by our dynamic, highly skilled, and innovative management team, supported by dedicated employees who live in coastal communities and contribute to the local area's economy and sense of community.

We are currently hiring for two Senior IT Architect roles to support our global technology strategy. These are senior-level roles that will work across areas like enterprise architecture, infrastructure, cloud, identity, security, and networking. While each role will focus on different areas based on experience and interest, both will help shape the systems and standards that support a fast-scaling business.

What You'll Do

• Design and support scalable, secure, and resilient technology solutions aligned with business needs
• Contribute to the evolution of Cooke's enterprise architecture across infrastructure, cloud, identity, and applications
• Support key initiatives involving cloud, system integration, and M&A transitions
• Guide identity and access strategies using Entra ID (Azure AD), AD, Exchange Online, and Microsoft 365
• Support secure network design and architecture including VPN, DNS, segmentation, and firewall integration
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align technical delivery with business priorities
• Recommend and support improvements to virtualization platforms and on-premises infrastructure
• Participate in the governance of access, compliance, and audit requirements
• Document designs, create standards, and help develop a repeatable, scalable architecture practice
• Act as a mentor and sounding board for other IT and project delivery teams

What You Bring

We don't expect one person to have everything below—but you'll bring depth in a few areas and the versatility to collaborate across the rest.

• 7+ years in progressively senior IT roles with experience in architecture, engineering, or enterprise technology
• Strong technical background in one or more of the following:
  • Hybrid infrastructure (cloud and on-prem)
  • Identity and access management (Entra ID, AD, Azure RBAC)
  • Microsoft 365 (Exchange, Teams, Compliance Center)
  • Networking (routing, segmentation, DNS, VPN, SD-WAN)
  • Virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix, etc.)
• Experience supporting or designing in cloud platforms (preferably Azure)
• Solid understanding of system integration, lifecycle management, and security controls
• Effective communicator—able to translate technical ideas into practical business solutions
• Comfortable balancing day-to-day problem-solving with longer-term architecture strategy

This is a chance to play a key role in a fast-growing, global organization. You'll have the opportunity to shape infrastructure and technology standards that support innovation, expansion, and operational excellence. Whether you lean more toward infrastructure and networks, or enterprise systems and identity, we'll shape the role to match your strengths and let you grow from there.
