• The IT Solutions Specialist will be instrumental in improving our current systems and processes, particularly for the HR, Finance and Operations departments. Their primary focus in the first 12 months will be to assess and prioritize the needs of these departments, implement quick wins to alleviate immediate pain points, establish a framework for process optimization, drive the adoption of workflow automation tools, and provide architectural guidance for system integrations. By addressing these critical areas, the Solutions Specialist will help to improve efficiency, productivity, and user satisfaction within HR, Finance and Operations.
• The organization is also committed to a multi-year digital transformation. As this initiative progresses, the Solutions Specialist will transition to supporting that effort, leveraging their knowledge and experience gained from working closely with the departments. They will provide valuable insights and recommendations to inform the digital transformation strategy, ensuring that the new enterprise platform aligns with the needs and goals of the organization.
• Throughout their tenure, the Solutions Specialist will be expected to foster strong partnerships with business stakeholders, contribute to a culture of continuous improvement, and enable data-driven decision making. Their efforts will not only deliver tangible benefits to the Finance and HR departments but also lay the foundation for the successful implementation and adoption of the new enterprise platform.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

We expect you to learn and grow in this role. As a thriving family enterprise transitioning from tribal knowledge to documented, systematic execution, we’re fortunate to have many opportunities for your professional growth.

You will also lead the vetting, selection, implementation, and success of technology solutions to support the processes.
