Complete Description

Our client is seeking a Technical Manager / Technical Director to join their team and lead efforts around ERP solutions. This is a fantastic opportunity for established technical leaders, or a Senior Architect level technologist to grow their career doing exciting work in a rapidly growing and well funded startup.

Key factors to consider when deciding whether to apply:

• The culture of our client's technology organization is different than most. Their IT leaders (through CTO) are expected to maintain and grow technical skill sets by dedicating approximately 50% of their time to direct contributions to the technical work of their teams. If you are a leader who hates the idea of "taking off your tool belt" to advance your career, this may be the place for you!
• Our client is a business in the sports goods manufacturing / outdoor leisure space. Part of their culture is a love for the outdoors, and while the next few years are going to be very busy they work hard to protect weekend downtime for their team.
• They are global company headquartered in Columbia South Carolina and are seeking candidates who will work out of their Columbia offices. They offer a relocation bonus and stipend based on role. Their offices are managed according to CDC guidelines for Covid 19.
• They place high value on an individual's technical aptitudes and character traits - including work ethic, humility, teamwork, a desire to learn and grow, and being a problem solver. These characteristics are given as much or more weight than strict match to a job description.
