Director of Technology

Director Of Technology

This position is on site in Jessup, MD 5 days a week.

The Director of Technology is the single accountable owner of technology at Alliance Material Handling. This role sets and maintains a multi-year technology roadmap covering software, security, data and the skills required to run it, leads the evaluation and implementation of our next ERP platform, builds the data and integration layer that everything else depends on, and brings artificial intelligence and automation into our operations as a working capability rather than a series of demonstrations. The role also owns the project discipline by which all of it gets delivered.

This is a build role. Alliance runs fourteen systems with limited integration, a core ERP that offers no project accounting, and a $210M Warehouse Solutions business that manages job costing, WIP and milestone billing in Excel. We have improved in most of these areas over the last several years, but almost always through brute force, meaning more people, rather than technology. The first requirement for this role is not deep technical expertise. It is the ability to run complex, cross-functional projects to completion and to map and redesign the processes underneath them. We are looking for a program leader who is technically fluent, not a technologist who also manages projects.

What You'll Do:

• Technology Strategy & Roadmap
• ERP Evaluation & Implementation
• AI & Automation
• Data, Integration & Reporting
• Vendor & Partner Management
• Customer-Driven Requirements
• Team, Knowledge & Key-Person Risk
• Project Execution Standards

What You Need:

• Minimum of 7 years leading technology programs in an operating business
• Demonstrated delivery of at least one significant ERP evaluation, selection or implementation
• Bachelor's degree in a business, engineering, information systems or related field
• Proven ability to run complex, cross-functional projects to completion
• Genuine process mapping and redesign capability
• Strong data and analytics fluency
• Vendor and partner management experience
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Experience in a multi-site business with field operations is preferred
• Practical AI or automation experience deployed to production rather than piloted is preferred
• Ability to travel periodically to branch and customer locations domestically
• Ability to sit and work at a computer for extended periods while performing essential job duties

What We Offer:

• Employee Ownership (ESOP) - build long-term wealth as an owner
• 401(k) with company match
• Multiple healthcare options including company paid plan (medical, dental, vision)
• Paid time off + holidays
• Company-paid short-term, long-term disability & life insurance
