Sr Manager IT Integration & EDI

We are seeking a Senior Manager of IT Integration & EDI to lead the strategy, modernization, and execution of Orgill's integration and EDI ecosystem. This is a highly visible leadership role responsible for how Orgill connects with its ecosystem of dealers, vendors, and internal systems.

You will play a pivotal role in transforming our integration landscape-leading the transition from legacy point-to-point connections to a modern platform. Your leadership will ensure our multi-billion-dollar supply chain remains agile, scalable, and resilient as we evolve from mainframe-based systems to cloud-enabled, best-in-class platforms.

This role is ideal for a hands-on leader who can balance strategic vision with technical depth-someone who can build and guide teams, influence architecture, and deliver mission-critical integrations at scale.

• Lead a high-performing team responsible for 24/7 integration and EDI operations supporting critical supply chain processes
• Implement monitoring, alerting, and proactive issue resolution to maintain system resilience and uptime

API Governance & Security

• Partner with Enterprise Architecture to define and enforce enterprise API standards, governance models, and security protocols (OAuth, OpenID Connect)

• Hands-on experience with MuleSoft (strongly preferred) or other Tier 1 integration platforms
• Strong knowledge of ANSI X12 EDI standards and platforms such as SPS Commerce and Cleo

• Experience leading large-scale technology transformations (e.g., monolith to microservices, API connectivity)
• Ability to "speak code" and guide technical teams at a detailed level
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field

Preferred Skills
