Job description

Are you a hands‑on technical leader who thrives on turning a legacy code base into a documented, modern, well‑run application portfolio? Do you believe development should be directed, not just delegated? ACS is looking for a strategic, technically deep Sr. Manager of Applications & Data to own delivery across our application portfolio: ensuring quality, reducing vendor dependency, and building the internal capability that scales with us.

Welcome to ACS: Commercial & Residential Flooring Specialists, where innovation meets a values‑driven culture.

At ACS, we're more than a flooring company. We're a growing, collaborative community grounded in four core values: Say Yes, Own It, Do What You Say, and We Care. These principles shape how we work, solve problems, and support each other every day.

As the Sr. Manager of Applications & Data, you will serve as the technical owner of ACS's application portfolio, including our proprietary CRM, SaaS systems, installer and customer‑facing tools, integrations, and our reporting and analytics environment. You will direct our contracted development partners, hold their work to a defined standard, and use AI‑assisted development tooling to document and de‑risk our legacy systems as we modernize.

Your work will directly impact delivery quality, technical debt, and vendor dependency — translating business requirements into systems that are built right and built to last.

Your objectives may be similar to:

• Owning technical delivery across ACS's application portfolio and directing the vendor capacity that builds it.
• Executing ACS's modernization pathway, using AI‑assisted tooling to document, de‑risk, and progressively bring development work in‑house.
• Owning the reporting and analytics environment to deliver reliable, real‑time insight to the business.

Essential Functions

(Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.)

Technical Delivery Ownership

• Own technical delivery for the ACS application portfolio, including the ACS proprietary CRM, Quickbase, installer tools, customer‑facing tools, and all integrations.
• Own the release schedule, deployment process, environments, and source control.
• Own production support escalation, root cause analysis, and technical debt reduction.
• Execute change control in accordance with governance owned by the Sr. Director, escalating design‑impacting changes for approval.
• Direct all development vendor capacity, including scope definition, technical specifications, and work assignment.
• Review code and deliverables, reject substandard work, and validate timesheets against delivered output.
• Reduce single‑vendor dependency across all business‑critical systems.

Application Modernization & AI‑Assisted Development

• Bring the legacy code base into AI‑assisted development environments to generate architecture documentation, data flow mapping, business logic explanation, and technical debt identification.
• Use AI‑assisted development to accelerate enhancement, troubleshooting, refactoring, and testing of existing applications.
• Evaluate and recommend platform approach for new capability across custom development, low‑code platforms, and configuration.
• Develop and recommend application architecture, integration design, and data model approaches to the Sr. Director for approval.
• Implement within approved architecture and escalate any decision that alters approved patterns.
• Maintain API standards, integration patterns, and technical documentation across systems.

Data, Reporting & Analytics

• Own the reporting and analytics environment, including Power BI data models, measures, refresh schedules, and report governance.
• Own data integrity, validation, and reconciliation between source systems.
• Own automation platforms including Power Automate and related workflow tooling.
• Provide day‑to‑day direction, priority setting, and performance feedback to development partner resources.
• Establish and enforce development standards for documentation, testing, code review, and release management.

To excel in this role, you should possess the following qualifications:

• 8+ years of experience in application development and delivery, including hands‑on work with SQL Server, stored procedures, web application development, REST APIs, and system integrations.
• At least 3 years directing outsourced, offshore, or contracted development teams with accountability for delivery outcomes rather than task coordination.
• Demonstrated practical use of AI‑assisted development tooling, with sufficient technical depth to validate and correct what those tools produce.
• Working experience with low‑code platforms such as Quickbase, Power Platform, or equivalent, including judgment on when custom development is and isn't appropriate.
• Demonstrated ownership of source control, environments, release management, and software development lifecycle standards.
• Experience with business intelligence delivery, including Power BI data modeling and report governance.
• Experience documenting and modernizing legacy applications without full replacement.
• Background supporting operations‑driven businesses such as field services, construction, distribution, or logistics preferred.
• Vacation (Planned Time Off)
• Sick/Personal (Unplanned Time Off)
• Flexible Spending Accounts
• Health Savings Account (HSA)
• Commuter Accounts
• 401k with Employer match (up to 4% employer match!)
• Voluntary Short Term Disability
• Company Paid Life Insurance and AD&D
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
