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.

• Ensure reliability, scalability, and accuracy of all B2B transaction flows

Platform Leadership & Engineering Excellence

• Own the roadmap, expansion, and optimization of a Tier 1 integration platform (MuleSoft preferred)
• Establish best practices for API design, lifecycle management, security, and reuse
• Lead the transformation of the team from a reactive support model to a proactive engineering culture focused on clean architecture and innovation

Operational Excellence & Reliability

• 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)
• Promote API reuse and consistency to accelerate delivery and reduce redundancy

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Partner with senior IT and business leaders to align integration capabilities with Orgill’s growth across wholesale distribution, services, and retail
• Serve as a trusted advisor on integration strategy within the home hardware, lumber, and building materials (LBM) sector

Required Qualifications

• 8–10+ years of IT experience with a strong focus on integration, preferably in retail and/or wholesale distribution; leading teams of several associates, including Engineers, Analysts and support team members, both on-site and remote, as well as on-shore and international
• Proven experience as an Integration Architect, Lead Engineer, or similar role with deep technical expertise
• 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
• Demonstrated success integrating across hybrid environments (mainframe, on-prem, and cloud)
• 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

• MuleSoft Certified Platform Architect or Integration Architect
• Experience with Agile and DevOps practices in a distribution or supply chain environment
