Business Support Manager

iVenture Solutions • Jacksonville, FL

7d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Business Support Manager is a critical leadership role responsible for directing iVenture's Business Support team which consists of a blended team of local and offshore talent delivering software development, BI/reporting, automation, and quality assurance. Reporting to the Director of Operations, this individual ensures that technology solutions are delivered on time, align with business goals, and reflect iVenture's core values. The ideal candidate bridges the gap between technical execution and business strategy, with a proven experience managing distributed and offshore teams. As iVenture accelerates toward a functional-leader-led development model where department heads and business managers contribute directly to app development, dashboards, and workflow automation using AI-assisted platforms such as Lovable, Claude Code, and similar tools - this role is pivotal in establishing the governance, security guardrails, and planning frameworks that make citizen development scalable and safe.

• Familiarity with software development methodologies (Agile/Scrum, Kanban)
• Exposure to automation tools and platforms (RPA, scripting, workflow automation)
• Experience with citizen development or functional-leader-led development programs, including governance design, security policy enforcement, and enablement for non-technical builders using AI-assisted platforms (e.g., Lovable, Claude Code, Power Apps, or similar)
• Comfort working with project management platforms (Jira, Asana, Monday.com, or similar)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-informed decision-making style
