Working under the direction of the Director of Operational Intelligence & Automation, you will turn defined priorities into working systems — connecting tools, automating processes, and putting AI to work on real business problems.We are modernizing our enterprise technology, and we are looking for someone ready to grow with us. You should be comfortable learning and working across modern ERP, CRM, and enterprise platforms, with a strong foundation in the durable skills that transfer across any tool: building connectors and integrations, designing automations, and working effectively with APIs and data. Rather than mastery of one specific stack, we value adaptability, curiosity, and the ability to pick up new systems quickly.On the data side, this role works at the front of the stream — capturing and measuring data from field and departmental sources, transforming it into usable form, pulling what's needed from business systems, and putting it to work intelligently through automations and AI workflows. This position is not responsible for architecting or managing the central data infrastructure; rather, it focuses on capturing operational data at the source and activating it where it creates value.This role reports to and is directed by the Director of OOIA.
