  • Govern all application vendor relationships: ERP platform, CRM integration partner, timekeeping vendor, Golf Genius, digital signage, and other club applications.
  • Own the acquisition application onboarding process end-to-end: ensure each new club is fully configured, integrated, and trained before go-live.
  • Partner with the Data & Integrations lead on integration architecture: applications team defines business requirements; data team owns the data layer design.
  • Partner with the VP of IT on the Northstar First Amendment scope sign-off decision and delivery oversight.
  • Build and maintain the Acquisition IT Playbook; capture and institutionalize learnings after each onboarding cycle.
