Sr Manager, Business Systems

Who We Are At Apptegy, we are more than a tech company; we are partners dedicated to transforming how schools communicate and shape the future of education. Your work here will directly empower districts to share their stories, engage their communities, and celebrate student success. We're a team of thoughtful, high-performing individuals committed to making a tangible impact. If you're looking for a dynamic environment where you'll be supported with exceptional mentorship and resources to grow your career.

As Senior Manager, Business Systems, you will own and drive Apptegy's enterprise systems strategy, unifying technology, data flow, and internal tooling across IT, Revenue Systems, and cross functional operational teams. Reporting directly to our Sr. Director of Security & Enterprise Technology, you will lead a high-performing team of systems analysts, administrators, and IT specialists while serving as a strategic partner to leaders across Sales, Marketing, Client Experience, Finance, and Engineering.

You will sit at the intersection of technical architecture, GTM problem solving, and business partnering, ensuring our enterprise stack works the way our teams work, not the other way around. As a trusted business partner to executive and operational leaders across Sales, Marketing, Client Experience, and Finance, you will proactively uncover underlying business needs, build cross functional trust, and align technology investments directly with company goals.

This is a hands on leadership role for a builder/operator who excels at stakeholder relationship management, data architecture, and team mentorship.
