Job Description:The IT Integrations Manager is responsible for leading the design, delivery, and modernization of enterprise integrations across both legacy (mainframe) systems and modern application platforms.
This role will initially oversee a team supporting mainframe-based integrations, ensuring stability, reliability, and continuity of business-critical data flows. In parallel, the role will transition into leading a modern enterprise integrations and .NET development team, driving API-based integrations, data platform connectivity, and reporting/analytics enablement (e.g., Power BI).
This leader will play a key role in bridging legacy and future-state architectures, enabling the organization's transition toward a scalable, cloud-enabled integration and data ecosystem.
Key Responsibilities1. Integration Strategy & Architecture - Define and execute the enterprise integration strategy spanning legacy and modern platforms
- Establish integration patterns (APIs, messaging, ETL, event-driven) and standards
- Partner with Data & Analytics leadership to align integrations with data lake and reporting initiatives
2. Legacy System Leadership (Interim) - Lead the team supporting mainframe/legacy integrations and interfaces
- Ensure stability, performance, and reliability of existing integrations
- Document and rationalize current-state integrations and dependencies
- Develop a roadmap for coexistence, simplification, and eventual decommissioning of legacy systems
3. Modern Integration & .NET Leadership (Future State) - Transition into leadership of a .NET-based integrations and development team
- Oversee development of APIs, services, and integration components (.NET, C#, Web APIs)
- Drive modernization toward reusable, scalable integration services
- Align development efforts with enterprise architecture and cloud platform (Azure preferred)
4. Data Platform & Reporting Integration - Enable integration with enterprise data platforms (data lake, Azure SQL, etc.)
- Support ingestion pipelines for analytics and reporting use cases
- Collaborate with Power BI and analytics teams to deliver reliable, governed data flows
- Improve data quality, consistency, and governance across systems
5. Integration Delivery & Platform Management - Oversee APIs, middleware, ETL pipelines, and system interfaces
- Manage integration lifecycle (design, build, deploy, monitor, optimize)
- Ensure performance, scalability, and observability of integrations
- Support SQL Server and data integration performance tuning
6. Team Leadership & Transition Management Lead a hybrid team of:
- Legacy/mainframe integration resources (short-term)
- Modern integration engineers and .NET developers (long-term)
- Drive transition planning from legacy skillsets to modern integration capabilities
- Manage Agile delivery, backlog prioritization, and capacity planning
7. Governance, Security & Compliance - Establish integration governance, standards, and documentation practices
- Ensure secure data movement and adherence to enterprise policies
- Implement monitoring, logging, and auditing for integrations
8. Stakeholder & Cross-Functional Collaboration Partner with:
- Enterprise Applications
- Data & Analytics teams
- Business stakeholders
- External vendors/partners
- Act as the primary IT leader for integration-related initiatives and decisions
Required Qualifications - 10+ years in IT with strong experience in systems integration and application development
- Experience supporting legacy/mainframe systems and integrations
- Experience with modern integration technologies (APIs, ETL, middleware)
- Strong background in .NET development (C#, ASP.NET, Web APIs)
- Strong experience with SQL Server, ETL and data integration concepts
- Experience leading technical teams across both legacy and modern environments
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure preferred)
Preferred Qualifications - Experience integrating ERP platforms (SAP, D365, etc.)
- Experience supporting data lake or analytics ecosystems
- Experience with Power BI or enterprise reporting platforms
- Experience with integration platform tools (iPaaS, messaging frameworks)
Key Success Metrics - Stability and reliability of legacy integrations during transition
- Reduction in legacy integration complexity over time
- Successful migration to modern API-based architecture
- Improved availability and quality of data for reporting/analytics
- Delivery velocity and quality of .NET integration services
- Alignment between application, integration, and data strategies
Position Impact - Ensures continuity of critical legacy operations
- Enables transition to a modern, scalable integration architecture
- Acts as a key bridge between enterprise applications, integrations, and analytics
- Directly supports AAON's future-state data and reporting capabilities
