Leadership and transformation. You will inherit a multidisciplinary team and have the opportunity to influence its future structure, operating model, and ways of working. From delivery governance and stakeholder alignment to process maturity and roadmap planning, you will help build the foundations for a more connected, scalable, and business-aligned enterprise applications function.

Exposure to innovation and AI adoption. Altus Group is undergoing significant technology transformation, including rapid adoption of AI capabilities across its enterprise applications landscape.

• Lead and evolve a multidisciplinary team. You will provide leadership, direction, and support to a team of business analysts, developers, and application specialists while helping shape the future operating model, team structure, and ways of working as the function continues to mature.
• Strengthen delivery and decision-making processes. You will introduce scalable processes, governance standards, and operational discipline across enterprise applications, ensuring work is effectively prioritized, risks are proactively managed, and stakeholders remain informed and aligned.
• Support technology modernization and AI adoption. You will help identify opportunities to modernize workflows, improve operational effectiveness, and leverage emerging technologies, including AI capabilities, across the enterprise applications ecosystem.
• Collaborate across architecture and technology teams. You will work closely with enterprise architecture, infrastructure, security, and delivery teams to ensure enterprise applications align with broader technology standards, integration strategies, and long-term business objectives.
