Business Systems and Automation ManagerLocation: Remote, USA
About the roleCoordinate our software ecosystem and design automated, friction-free business operations.In this role, you'll coordinate Syllo's internal software portfolio across departments and lead the decision-making framework behind how we solve operational challenges. You will act as the connective tissue between business teams (Finance, Revenue Operations, Legal) and Company Operations-evaluating workflow needs, streamlining our vendor suite, and deploying off-the-shelf tools or low-code automations first.
When a complex challenge requires custom engineering, you'll partner closely with our Technical Product Manager to hand off clear business requirements for execution.

- Design system integration pathways: Hold the integration mandate across CRM, Finance, Legal, and Ops stacks, ensuring data moves between systems seamlessly without manual intervention.
- Implement AI-powered automation: Identify workflow friction points across departments and deploy modern AI tools and automated workflows to increase operational speed and consistency.
- Hand off custom engineering scope: Translate validated business requirements into clear scope hand-offs for the Technical Product Manager when custom software builds are required.
What you bring- Tooling evaluation rigor: Clear discipline for evaluating third-party SaaS platforms against custom engineering effort with long-term cost and maintenance in mind.
- Systems integration perspective: Understanding of modern API integrations, data flows, and workflow tools across sales, finance, legal, and operations tools.
- AI workflow innovation: Curiosity and skill in implementing AI tools and low-code/no-code automations to optimize day-to-day operations.
- Software portfolio management: Experience managing software licensing, vendor relationships, and access provisioning across distributed teams.
- Cross-functional coordination: Ability to partner across departments, turning disparate team requests into a unified, high-performing software stack.

- Proven track record creating and running evaluation frameworks for internal tools and build-vs-buy decisions.
