What would really make an impact would be to work towards making that IT dept. functional, efficient even. That's what a true leader would do, but you are clearly disincentivised from doing it since it would upend your cushy sitiation.

That’s a political job. I would need buy-in from many stakeholders and go against the company strategy of centralizing all business units to the global organization. I would effectively be fighting against the C-suite and the global organization.

You do it, if you want to make an impact. You’re only 9 months behind me and they are multinational.

I would also be up for doing it together. You would probably take a pay cut though since this organization doesn’t pay much. But hey, at least you will make an impact.
