Summary Generated by Built In

SNAP14 is seeking an impact-driven Systems Development & Automation Lead to own, build, and evolve our internal business systems.

This role sits at the intersection of systems design, automation, execution planning, and delivery. You will work in a fast-paced, high-performance environment where inputs are often messy, evolving, or incomplete — and your responsibility is to translate that ambiguity into clear system plans, technical direction, and executable solutions.

This is not a theoretical or process-heavy role. You will build fast MVPs, iterate continuously, manage external developers, and ensure SNAP14’s systems remain scalable, secure, and aligned with real operational needs.


Key Responsibilities
1. Systems Development & Automation
  • Design, build, and optimize workflows, automations, dashboards, and integrations across Zoho One and related tools.

  • Translate ambiguous, incomplete, or evolving user input into structured system plans and phased execution.

  • Own system architecture, role-based access, permissions, and integrations between tools.

  • Deliver fast-impact MVP solutions and iterate based on real usage and feedback.

2. Execution Planning & Delivery Management
  • Convert high-level needs into clear system logic, task breakdowns, and execution priorities.

  • Plan and manage system initiatives from concept to delivery, balancing speed, quality, and scope.

  • Apply judgment to decide what should be built now versus later.

  • Ensure systems are practical, maintainable, and aligned with operational reality.

3. External Developer Management
  • Manage outsourced developers by providing clear technical direction, priorities, and acceptance criteria.

  • Review scripts, logic, integrations, and system changes before deployment.

  • Ensure all development work is secure, documented, and production-ready.

  • Enforce clean handovers, documentation standards, and accountability.

  • Manage sprints, timelines, and priorities using Agile or Waterfall as needed.


4. Cross-Department Enablement
  • Partner with Operations, Production, Finance, HR, Sales, and Leadership to remove workflow friction through systems.

  • Identify opportunities to reduce manual work, improve visibility, and increase accountability.

  • Build dashboards and analytics that support operational and leadership decision-making.

  • Ensure systems evolve as the business grows and changes.

5. Documentation, SOPs & Governance
  • Create and maintain system documentation, SOPs, and standards.

  • Enforce consistency, security, and scalability across all systems.

  • Train teams on new systems and workflows to ensure smooth adoption.

  • Maintain long-term system clarity so others can operate without dependency on tribal knowledge.


What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days
  • Month 1 - Fully understand SNAP14’s systems, workflows, and priorities; establish a clear systems backlog and execution approach.

  • Month 2 - Deliver high-impact MVP automations and take full ownership of external developer management.

  • Month 3 - Fully own SNAP14’s systems architecture, driving measurable efficiency and enforcing system standards.
