About The Position

In this role, you will build and lead a small internal Automation & Intelligence team dedicated to developing workflow automation tools, real-time operational dashboards, and event-driven orchestration of work – all designed with a “Human-in-the-Loop” philosophy where automation amplifies (not replaces) our teams’ decision-making. As Director, you will work cross-functionally to streamline how information flows from initial concept through project delivery and cash collection. This role is both a visionary and hands-on builder/operator position.
