VALCOURT BUILDING SERVICES L C•The Woodlands, TX

About The Position

Valcourt’s path to Vision 2028 requires technology that moves at business speed. Today, the gap between business demand and technology delivery is a constraint on growth, acquisition integration, and operational scale. This role closes that gap by embedding a senior technology leader who owns the business relationship, the solution design, the delivery accountability, and the adoption outcomes—not just the project handoff. This is not a project manager or an IT liaison. This is a business-outcome owner who operates at the intersection of strategy, process, product, and AI enablement.

Requirements

Senior technology leadership experience in a complex, multi-site, acquisition-driven, or PE-backed environment
Demonstrated track record building or leading BRM, business technology partner, product management, or digital transformation functions
Experience owning major enterprise platform implementations and custom development programs
Practical fluency in AI strategy, governance, and responsible AI adoption
Strong working knowledge of Salesforce, ERP, field services, integrations, and workflow automation
Bachelor’s required
