It program manager Jobs in Toronto, ON

IT Manager Longbow Advantage is an end-to-end warehousing strategy company that leverages real-time data to manage people, processes, and warehouses through The Rebus® Platform, and WMS consulting services purpose-built to expand and enhance warehouse technologies.

We take a holistic approach to warehousing strategy, understanding that technology is only one piece in the solution process.

Our warehouse experts work with customers to understand challenges and goals, developing a recommendation that’s aligned to the customer’s business objectives and supply chain initiatives.

Rebus is a B2B SaaS company providing supply chain analytics and labour management software (Rebus), with a sister consulting and WMS hosting business (Longbow).

Our IT function spans both organisations, supporting our internal teams as well as critical hosted customer environments running on Windows Server, SQL Server, VMware, and Google Cloud Platform.

What to expect… We are seeking an experienced IT Manager to lead our IT team of two, take ownership of our entire IT estate, and bring structure, documentation, and operational maturity to a function that has grown organically over many years.

• The successful candidate will also be a hands-on contributor — this is not a role for someone who only manages from a distance.
• This is a critical hire.

The previous IT lead held deep, undocumented knowledge across our most business-critical systems, particularly our hosted WMS environment, VMware platform, Microsoft365, Active Directory, security tools.

• Reducing key-person risk and bringing professional process discipline to the function is a primary objective for the first six months.
• This is a work-from-home remote role based in Toronto ON, with occasional travel to local data center. On Call is a shared rotation with IT team for critical issues.

Once you join our team, you will… As our IT Manager , this is a chance to take a critical IT function and meaningfully reshape it.

The team is small but capable, the technology footprint is interesting and varied (cloud, on-prem, hosted production, end-user IT), and the business depends on getting this right.

You will have the autonomy to make significant changes, the support of an engaged executive team, and the budget to invest in the tools, training, and processes needed to do the job well.

If you are someone who thrives on bringing order to complexity, who enjoys both leading a team and staying close to the technology, and who wants the impact that comes with owning an entire IT estate end-to-end, we'd like to hear from you.
