The Manager will partner across Facilities & S3, IT, data and analytics teams, Procurement, business stakeholders, and external technology partners to ensure systems are stable, integrated, scalable, and aligned with long-term operational needs.

The Manager is expected to move the organization beyond reactive system support toward proactive platform management, automation, reliable data, and continuous improvement.

• Establish governance and standards for system configuration, workflows, data structures, permissions, integrations, change management, and critical system data to ensure information remains reliable, accurate, and auditable.
• Lead system implementations, enhancements, upgrades, integrations, module deployments, and optimization efforts, including requirements, testing, operational readiness, deployment, stabilization, and post-implementation review.
• Evaluate existing and emerging system capabilities and recommend when to enhance, integrate, consolidate, replace, retire, or expand technologies based on operational value and lifecycle impact.
• Partner with Facilities, Security, Safety, Sustainability, IT, analytics teams, and other stakeholders to translate operational requirements into scalable technology solutions and repeatable processes.
• Identify opportunities to improve workflows through automation, integrations, self-service capabilities, and the reduction of manual processes and disconnected spreadsheets.
• Establish and monitor KPIs for system health, data quality, adoption, issue resolution, integration performance, and vendor delivery, using data to identify risks and prioritize improvements.
• Serve as a senior business representative with IT, BRMs, software providers, consultants, and systems integrators, establishing service expectations and holding partners accountable for performance, issue resolution, and deliverables.
• Drive user adoption through standardized workflows, documentation, training, support, and ongoing feedback while ensuring systems remain practical and aligned with how teams work.
• Provide direction and prioritization to analysts, contractors, vendors, and other resources supporting Facilities & S3 systems, while developing internal system expertise and sustainable operating processes.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Facilities Management, Business Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of progressively responsible experience supporting enterprise business systems, facilities technology, IWMS, CAFM, CMMS, workplace systems, or related platforms.
• Demonstrated experience owning or leading an enterprise application or technology platform, including system implementations, enhancements, integrations, or major upgrades.
• Strong knowledge of Archibus or comparable enterprise IWMS/CAFM platforms, including space management, occupancy, work management, facilities data, or workplace operations; deep Archibus experience strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of IWMS/CAFM/CMMS architectures and workflows, with working knowledge of SQL, reporting, analytics, enterprise data structures, APIs, integrations, and system dependencies.
• Experience establishing data governance, system controls, operational standards, and system lifecycle processes including change control, testing, release management, and operational support.
• Ability to translate business strategy and operational requirements into technology roadmaps, scalable solutions, and executable plans.
• Demonstrated ability to manage technology vendors and work effectively with enterprise IT organizations and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Familiarity with AutoCAD/floor-plan integrations and space-management processes preferred; experience with ServiceNow or comparable enterprise workflow tools is a plus.
• Experience working in a large-scale, complex, multi-site or global environment and implementing automation, technology roadmaps, or system-performance KPIs preferred.
• Strong analytical, organizational, communication, problem-solving, and stakeholder-management skills.
