Position Summary
The IT Operations Manager is responsible for the day-to-day management, support, and optimization of the company's ERP system, business applications, and IT operations. This role serves as the primary owner of enterprise systems, ensuring reliable performance, seamless integrations, and strong support for Finance, Operations, Warehouse, Logistics, Sales, and Administration.
This is a hands-on technical role, not a strategic executive position and not a software engineering or QA role.
Initially, this role will focus heavily on ERP implementation, migration, testing, and stabilization. Following go-live, the position transitions into ongoing ownership of the ERP environment, business applications, user support, systems documentation, integrations, and overall IT operations.

- Act as liaison between business users, vendors, and implementation consultants
