Act as the technical owner and primary business–IT bridge across architecture, environments (LIVE/TEST/DEV), SQL Server health, integrations, security, releases, monitoring, backups and recovery, and new module/site/entity rollouts. Ensure the platform remains scalable, controlled, and compliant with business rules and regulated processes. Support dual sites across time zones, with occasional travel and after-hours availability for cutovers, hypercare, and month-end.

Incident, Rollout & Compliance

Project Management

  • Regulated manufacturing experience (CSV, validation, traceability, labels/CofA, audit).
  • Multi-site / multi-company ERP environments with intercompany processes and time-zone realities.

  • SQL Server administration (backups, recovery, maintenance).
  • REST/OData integrations and API troubleshooting.
