Manager of Information Technology (Pacific Beach)

Campland on the Bay and Mission Bay RV Resort are open every day of the year 24/7. Terra Vista Management, Inc., the company that owns Campland and MBRVR, seeks a Manager of Information Technology to manage and direct Campland on the Bay's and Mission Bay RV Resort's information technology (IT) operations, at all times ensuring the department provides efficient and effective technical support service with minimal service interruptions. Campland's and Mission Bay's IT environment differs from a typical corporate setting. We face scenarios where quick thinking, adaptability, and a willingness to learn atypical IT skills are essential. Because our guest-facing systems (wi-fi, cable TV, reservations platforms) directly impact the guest experience, the IT team needs to troubleshoot and restore service quickly even if it involves systems outside of standard or typical IT. Our IT team also frequently works with a mix of equipment. For example, our telephone systems utilize copper lines and digital/cloud-based (Ubiquiti). Our IT staff is challenged with learning on-the-spot and being creative in their problem-solving as they keep the older systems running while planning and implementing long-term improvements. Our IT department sometimes assists other departments with such technical tasks as gate controllers or security cameras that other companies typically assign to a facilities department or outside vendors. The successful manager of Information Technology will possess a mindset focused on supporting both staff and guest needs and the willingness and ability to learn and apply skills that may not traditionally fall under IT but are critical in the environment in which we operate.
