The Senior Applications Manager owns our business application portfolio end to end, from Dynamics 365 and our POS and ticketing platforms through the line-of-business and web applications our teams rely on every day. This role is both the senior technical owner of that portfolio and the primary bridge between IT and the business, partnering with revenue, finance, and operations leaders to turn their goals into practical, well-supported technology.

This role is based in Vancouver, BC and works a hybrid schedule, with on-site attendance expected when required. Early priorities include rolling out Business Central, building a clear application roadmap, and establishing consistent intake and prioritization for business requests.
