Manager, Technology & Systems
About The Position
The Manager, Technology & Systems is responsible for ensuring that BCPF’s technology and systems are secure, effective, and aligned with the needs of a growing organization.

The role spans governance, software portfolio management, infrastructure oversight, and technology projects including AI and automation. The Manager works closely with staff at all levels to understand their needs, support good decision-making, and ensure the Foundation is getting the most from its technology investments.
