Job description

Want to own the technology behind how an entire business operates—not just keep the applications running?

Elford is looking for an experienced Enterprise Applications Manager to lead the strategy, lifecycle, and continuous improvement of the enterprise applications that support our business.

This is more than application support. You'll have the opportunity to influence what we use, how our systems connect, where we invest, what we improve, and what comes next.

You'll partner with leaders across Elford to make sure our technology supports the way our people actually work.

What You’ll Get to Own

• Help develop Elford’s enterprise application strategy and multi-year roadmap.
• Own the lifecycle of critical applications supporting financials, project and cost management, HR, collaboration, and reporting.
• Lead major implementations, integrations, upgrades, enhancements, and modernization efforts.
• Evaluate where applications should be improved, consolidated, replaced, or retired.
• Lead application governance, releases, testing, change management, and adoption.
• Identify opportunities to incorporate AI into enterprise systems and business processes.
• Improve integrations between systems, including work involving REST/SOAP APIs.
• Partner directly with business and executive leadership to turn operational needs into technology solutions.
• Manage key technology vendors, licensing, contracts, performance, and investments.
• Help create a more connected, scalable enterprise technology environment.

You Could Be a Great Fit If You...

• Bring 10+ years of enterprise application experience.
• Have significant experience with ERP environments such as CMiC, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, or similar platforms.
• Have led complex application implementations or transformation initiatives.
• Understand application integrations, APIs, lifecycle management, and technology governance.
• Can move comfortably between technical conversations and business conversations.
• Know how to lead vendors and cross-functional teams without losing sight of the end user.
• Think beyond fixing today's issue and ask what the organization will need next.
• Experience within construction, architecture, engineering, or manufacturing is especially valuable. Experience with CMiC, Autodesk, ADP, Primavera, or project/cost management platforms would also stand out.

Why Elford?

Elford is an employee-owned commercial construction company with more than a century of history—and we’re continuing to invest in the technology that will support our next chapter.

This is an opportunity to have a real voice in our technology direction rather than simply inheriting a portfolio of applications to maintain.

If you want to build an enterprise application environment that's easier to use, better connected, and positioned for what's next, we'd like to hear from you.
