Director, Applications and Data Solutions
Medbio, LLC, Orchard Park, NY, United States
Summary of Function
Medbio is evolving from a centralized IT structure to a modern, domain‑led operating model aligned with our growth strategy. We are seeking a Director, Applications & Data Solutions to establish enterprise data discipline, strengthen business application governance, and build scalable reporting standards across a multi‑site manufacturing organization. This role combines strategic ownership with hands‑on execution. The Director will define enterprise data standards, lead CRM selection and implementation, and govern non‑ERP business applications while personally contributing to key initiatives. The environment includes strong operational knowledge but limited formal data standardization. This role will create clarity, structure, and accountability where it does not yet consistently exist.

Partner with infrastructure/Cyber leadership, who retains security and tenant administration ownership
Architecture & Integration
Define integration patterns between ERP, CRM, quality systems, and reporting platforms
Ensure cross‑system data flows are reliable and understandable
Balance near‑term execution with long‑term scalability
Building Standards & Future Capability
Introduce disciplined operating mechanics for data governance and application ownership
Establish documentation and accountability processes where informal practices exist
Operate initially as a high‑leveraged individual contributor
Over time, help shape the structure of a small supporting team as maturity increases
Operating Model & Authority

Holds formal decision rights over enterprise data definitions and reporting standards
Owns governance of non‑ERP business applications
