Memphis, TN
We are seeking a Senior Manager of IT Integration & EDI to lead the strategy, modernization, and execution of the integration and EDI ecosystem. This is a highly visible leadership role responsible for how the company 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.
