Company Overview
Position OverviewAt Sylogist, we are purpose-driven to “empower the good our customers do.”
We provide SaaS-based software solutions to the non-profit, government, and education sectors, and we take immense pride in the work of our customers and the products we build to support them. Our team is collaborative, enthusiastic and delivers on our promises. If you want to apply your skills to improve trusted technology that supports over 2000 customers around the world, then let’s talk!
Sylogist is looking for an ERP Support Manager to lead our customer care and technical support function across multiple software product lines, including ERP, CRM, portal, and public sector solutions.
Reporting to the Director of Customer Care, this role will lead support operations through product-line leads and support professionals. The successful candidate will help improve support processes, strengthen team accountability, manage escalations, reduce ticket resolution times, and ensure customers receive timely, thoughtful, and effective support.
This is a hands-on support leadership role. The ERP Support Manager will lead the team, but must also be willing to roll up their sleeves when needed. This includes jumping into complex escalations, reviewing ticket details, helping diagnose ERP and accounting-related issues, guiding troubleshooting efforts, and communicating directly with customers when additional leadership support is required.
The ideal candidate has experience leading customer-facing software support teams and brings a strong foundation in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Dynamics NAV, or similar ERP/accounting platforms. Strong accounting knowledge is essential, as many of the most complex support issues involve financial processes, accounting workflows, and business-critical customer operations.

• Help support leads and team members work through ERP, accounting, product, and customer-related challenges
• Help determine whether issues are related to configuration, user process, accounting workflow, data, product defects, training gaps, or other root causes
• Provide support coverage and leadership assistance during periods of increased ticket volume, team absences, or urgent escalations
Support Operations & Process Improvement
• Oversee day-to-day support operations, ticket queues, workloads, escalations, and service levels
• Ensure customer issues are prioritized, assigned, and resolved in accordance with established SLAs
• Identify and implement process improvements that reduce ticket response and resolution times
• Review support metrics and operational trends to identify opportunities for improvement
• Perform root cause analysis on recurring support issues and help implement long-term corrective actions
• Improve support workflows, documentation, procedures, and day-to-day operating practices
Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Partner with Product, Development, Customer Success, and Professional Services teams to resolve customer issues effectively
• Ensure product defects, recurring issues, and enhancement opportunities are documented, communicated, and tracked appropriately
• Provide feedback on customer pain points, product usability, training resources, and documentation gaps
• Support effective communication between customer-facing teams and technical/product teams
Must-Haves
• 3+ years of experience leading customer-facing software support teams
• Experience managing support leads, supervisors, team leads, or other people leaders
• Experience managing or supporting teams working with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Dynamics NAV, or similar ERP/accounting platforms

• Experience supporting ERP software customers in a complex business application environment
• Hands-on support leadership experience, with the ability to jump into complex tickets, escalations, customer calls, and ERP/accounting-related troubleshooting when needed
• Experience managing support queues, escalations, SLAs, and customer satisfaction metrics

• Experience leading remote or geographically distributed teams
What Success Looks Like
• Improved ticket response and resolution times across multiple product lines
• Stronger support team performance against SLA and customer satisfaction targets
• Improved escalation management and clearer ownership across the support organization
• More consistent coaching, accountability, and performance management across support leads and team members
• Support processes that are better documented, more scalable, and easier for the team to follow
