At project44, we believe in better.

We challenge the status quo because we know a better supply chain isn’t just possible—it’s essential. Better for our customers. Better for their business. Better for the world. With our Decision Intelligence Platform, Movement, we’re redefining how global supply chains operate. By transforming fragmented logistics data into real-time, AI-powered insights, we empower companies to connect instantly, see clearly, act decisively, and automate intelligently. Our Supply Chain AI enhances visibility, drives smarter execution, and unlocks next-gen applications that keep businesses moving forward. Headquartered in Chicago, IL with a 2nd HQ in Bengaluru, India we are powered by a diverse global team that is tackling the toughest logistics challenges with innovation, urgency, and purpose. If you’re driven to solve meaningful problems, leverage AI to scale rapidly, drive impact daily, and be part of a high-performance team – we should talk.

We expect every project44 team member, regardless of role or function, to actively leverage AI in their day-to-day work. Whether you're building product, serving customers, managing people, or running operations, AI is a tool you're expected to use with intent, curiosity, and judgment. We don't expect everyone to be a data scientist. We do expect everyone to be an intelligent user of AI: able to identify where it adds value, direct it effectively, evaluate outputs critically, and govern it responsibly. We invest in our team's AI fluency because we believe it's a competitive advantage for every person at project44, not just our engineers.

About the Role

We are looking for a dynamic and accomplished Business Applications Manager to join our Global Information Systems (GIS) team. This is a high-visibility, strategic role that sits at the intersection of technology and business leadership. You will engage directly with VPs, Senior Directors, and other executive stakeholders to uncover automation and agentic AI opportunities, translate complex business requirements into scalable solutions, and deliver intelligent workflows that drive measurable impact across the organization.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable presenting a roadmap to business executives and building an agentic AI pipeline in a development environment. You bring deep technical expertise across our core GIS platforms — Salesforce, Power BI, Snowflake, NetSuite, and Workato — and a proven track record of delivering enterprise automation at scale with an aptitude to understand business process flows.

Key Responsibilities

Executive Stakeholder Engagement

• Serve as a trusted advisor to VPs, Senior Directors, and business unit leaders to identify, prioritize, and scope automation and AI opportunities.
• Lead discovery sessions and requirements workshops with senior stakeholders, translating high-level business goals into clear, actionable technical specifications.
• Communicate complex technical solutions in business terms — presenting roadmaps, ROI projections, and project updates to executive audiences with clarity and confidence.
• Build and maintain strong cross-functional relationships to ensure alignment between GIS capabilities and organizational priorities.

Automation Architecture & Delivery

• Design, build, and deploy enterprise-grade automation solutions using Workato and complementary iPaaS or workflow tools.
• Architect end-to-end integrations across Salesforce, NetSuite, Snowflake, Power BI, and other enterprise platforms.
• Develop and implement agentic AI solutions — autonomous agents and intelligent workflows — that reduce manual effort, eliminate process bottlenecks, and improve decision-making.
• Establish best practices for automation governance, including documentation, testing, error handling, and monitoring.

GIS Platform Expertise

• Collaborate with the GIS team on platform administration, configuration, and optimization across Salesforce, Power BI, Snowflake, NetSuite, and Workato.
• Identify and implement improvements to existing integrations and data flows between GIS platforms.
• Ensure data integrity, security, and compliance standards are maintained across all automation touchpoints.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to GIS team members on automation and AI capabilities.

AI Strategy & Innovation

• Stay ahead of the rapidly evolving AI landscape and proactively bring forward opportunities to apply emerging tools and techniques.
• Build and iterate on AI-powered solutions leveraging frameworks such as LangChain, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Anthropic Claude, or similar platforms.
• Partner with leadership to develop and execute a multi-year automation and AI roadmap aligned to business strategy.
• Define KPIs and success metrics for automation initiatives and report progress to stakeholders.
