Business Solutions & Support Manager

Join MGC's IT team in Columbia, SC! MGC is an industry leading civil litigation firm celebrating 30 years of excellence in 2025 spanning 23 offices across 12 states. We are seeking a Business Solutions and Support Manager, responsible for ensuring day‑to‑day operations run consistently and effectively, providing hands‑on leadership across the department’s technology portfolio, managing team performance and development, and coordinating project execution.

The Business Solutions & Support Manager owns the operational rhythm of the Business Solutions and Applications Support teams. This is a hands‑on leadership role that requires a combination of technical fluency, people management skills, project discipline, and analytical capability. The ideal candidate is someone who can step into the work when needed, not just oversee it from a distance. Ideal candidates will be based in either North Carolina, South Carolina or Georgia.

We offer competitive pay and benefits. This position will have flexibility regarding a hybrid/remote schedule.

• Coach and develop team members in project management discipline, helping them manage timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder communication more effectively

• Actively participate in project meetings alongside BSAs to ensure timelines and deliverables stay on track; model effective project management practices and intervene early when work drifts
• Coordinate team contributions across concurrent firm‑wide initiatives including platform migrations, document automation, AI‑assisted timekeeping, and system upgrades
• Own weekly status reporting across all active project and system queues; identify stalled or at‑risk items and take corrective action before they become overdue
• Translate strategic direction set by the Director into task assignments, timelines, and deliverables the team can execute against
• Track and manage cross‑system dependencies to ensure changes in one platform do not create unintended downstream impacts

• Ensure technology rollouts and system changes include communication plans, training coordination, and user adoption considerations as standard practice
• Partner with BSAs and Application Support to plan and execute the people side of technology changes: stakeholder communication, end‑user training, resistance management, and post‑launch support
