What You'll Be Doing- Lead, mentor, and develop a team of developers, technical resources, consultants, and external partners
- Oversee application development, enhancements, support, and ongoing optimization efforts for Infor LX and IBM i (IBMi) environments
- Partner with business and IT stakeholders to align technology initiatives with operational priorities
- Manage application performance, uptime, security, backup, and recovery processes
- Own and support custom development, integrations, interfaces, and the broader ERP technical ecosystem

- Manage vendor relationships, software/hardware partnerships, and service agreements
- Define and monitor service expectations and performance across the applications team
- Drive scalable, business-focused solutions that improve efficiency and operational performance
- 7+ years of hands-on experience with Infor LX in a technical or leadership capacity
- Previous experience leading or mentoring developers, vendors, and technical teams

- Background within manufacturing environments, including familiarity with concepts such as:
- Work orders
- Bills of materials (BOMs)
- Production/work centers
- Manufacturing operations workflows
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to bridge technical and business priorities
Candidates with extensive experience in similar legacy ERP or manufacturing-focused systems may also be considered, particularly those with backgrounds in:
- Comparable ERP / MRP platforms
- Manufacturing system modernization
- ERP integrations and reporting environments
- Primarily remote position
- Initial onboarding period will include time spent onsite to gain exposure to operations, manufacturing processes, and key stakeholder relationships
- Limited travel expected throughout the year for leadership meetings and major business initiatives
- Highly visible leadership role with meaningful ownership and influence
- Opportunity to lead a well-established technical team supporting critical business systems
- Strong collaboration with executive leadership and operational stakeholders
- Long-term opportunity to shape ERP strategy and application improvements within a manufacturing environment
If you have deep Infor LX expertise, enjoy leading technical teams, and want to play a key role in driving operational technology improvements, we'd love to connect.
