Technology & Business Systems Director

Company Overview:

Seagis Property Group was founded in 2005 and is a leading owner of industrial real estate in New Jersey, New York City, and South Florida. Our investment strategy is focused on the acquisition of strategically located warehouse buildings and development sites that will have an enduring niche within our markets for years to come. Today, Seagis owns and operates 200 buildings totaling 13 million square feet and serving approximately 600 customers. We are headquartered in suburban Philadelphia (Conshohocken, PA) and have three regional offices in East Rutherford, NJ, Queens, NY, and Pembroke Pines, FL. The company currently operates with 60 team members.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a highly motivated Technology & Business Systems Director with 5 to 10 years of experience to help lead the evolution of our technology ecosystem. This individual will serve as the bridge between business operations and technology, ensuring our software platforms, enterprise applications, data, vendors, workflows, governance, IT, and emerging technologies work together to improve efficiency, collaboration, and decision-making across the organization.

This is not a traditional IT support role. The successful candidate will be business-minded, highly organized, curious, and comfortable coordinating people, processes, vendors, and technology to help move the organization forward. The role will work closely with executive leadership and teams across operations, property management, accounting, finance, leasing, construction, asset management, investments, and administration. This position will also help develop the Company’s knowledge and utilization of AI-related solutions to enhance existing systems and workflows. Candidates are not expected to have expertise across every function on day one; someone with strong experience in several areas and the ability and desire to grow into others could be an excellent fit.

• Lead the development and execution of the company’s technology roadmap.
• Optimize and integrate enterprise platforms to improve efficiency, collaboration, reporting, and decision-making.

• Identify opportunities to streamline workflows, improve productivity, and enhance business performance through technology.

Project Leadership & Process Improvement:

• Lead cross-functional technology initiatives from strategy through implementation and adoption.
• Champion process improvement efforts that create scalable, efficient, and repeatable business operations.
• Coordinate internal stakeholders, vendors, and service providers to ensure successful project execution.

Data, Governance & Vendor Management:

• Strengthen data quality, reporting capabilities, and business intelligence tools across the organization.
• Oversee technology governance, vendor relationships, budgeting, system documentation, and cybersecurity coordination.
• Ensure technology investments deliver measurable business value and support long-term organizational objectives.

Qualifications:

• 5 to 10 years of experience in business systems, technology project management, digital transformation, operations, consulting, enterprise applications, or a related field. Experience with AI tools, automation, or a strong interest in developing AI-related solutions is preferred.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Information Systems, Technology Management, Engineering, Operations, or a related discipline.
• Experience coordinating technology projects, software implementations, process improvements, or enterprise system enhancements.
• Strong understanding of business processes and the ability to translate operational needs into practical technology solutions.
• Excellent project management, organizational, written communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to manage multiple initiatives, deadlines, vendors, and internal stakeholders simultaneously.
• Comfort working with senior leadership and cross-functional teams in a hands-on, collaborative environment.
• Experience in commercial real estate, investment management, financial services, construction, property management, or another asset-intensive industry preferred.
• Familiarity with enterprise systems, CRM, document management, business intelligence, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Power Platform, Power BI, Teams, Copilot, AI tools, workflow automation, or low-code/no-code solutions preferred.
