Your role on the team:

• Define and own the Americas IT development roadmap in alignment with business strategy and GEODIS global technology direction
• Advise executive leadership on technology investments, trade-offs, and risk
• Lead a pragmatic modernization strategy: decide what to retire, replatform, wrap with APIs, or rebuild, and sequence the work to avoid disrupting live operations

Strategy and leadership

• Oversee the full software development lifecycle across WMS, TMS, order management, yard and dock systems, billing, and customer portals
• Drive delivery of customer onboarding and integrations, including EDI, API, and event-based connectivity with shippers, carriers, marketplaces, and ERPs

• Ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and with minimal operational impact

Legacy and modern platform management

• Maintain reliability and supportability of legacy and mainframe-era applications while reducing technical debt and key-person risk
• Lead migration to cloud-native, containerized, API-first architectures, including hybrid and phased coexistence models
• Establish integration patterns (APIs, messaging, EDI translation) that allow old and new systems to interoperate cleanly
• Guide adoption of data, analytics, and AI/ML capabilities such as visibility, forecasting, slotting, and automation

People and organization

• Lead, mentor, and develop directors, managers, and engineers across multiple teams, including onshore, offshore, and vendor partners
• Build a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous learning, and upskill teams with legacy expertise on modern tooling
• Own hiring, succession planning, performance management, and org design

Architecture, security, and governance

• Set architectural standards for scalability, resilience, and maintainability, aligned with global architecture governance
• Partner with Information Security to embed secure development and meet customer, regulatory and compliance requirements (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, C-TPAT, customer-specific audits)
• Own platform reliability, disaster recovery and business continuity for operations that cannot go down

Financial and vendor management

• Own the development budget, headcount planning, and resource allocation
• Manage software developers, vendors, system integrators, contractors and licensing
• Report on KPIs such as delivery velocity, quality, uptime, integration cycle time, and cost efficiency

What you need:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• 12+ years of progressive experience in software development or IT, including 5+ years leading large engineering organizations (multiple teams, 50+ people)
• Demonstrated experience running a hybrid estate of legacy and modern workloads and leading phased modernization
• Strong background with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), microservices, APIs and DevOps practices
• Experience delivering enterprise systems in a 24/7, operations-critical environment
• Track record managing budgets, vendors, offshore/onshore models and cross-functional initiatives
