Systems Program Manager

Description

The Program Manager works with member libraries, vendors, consortium staff, and Alliance teams to oversee, coordinate, develop and assess the Systems Program. This position also provides support for Alliance-wide systems, including Ex Libris’ Alma and Primo products (using a Network Zone), as well as other centrally managed services.  The Program Manager leads the Systems Program and supervises the Alliance’s Information Technology Manager. This position is key to maintaining regular and productive interactions between the consortium and Ex Libris, and proactively leads Alliance efforts in this area. In collaboration with a member-led team, this position primarily focuses on the following activities:

• Systems Support for the Shared Integrated Library System (SILS)

• Represent the consortium to numerous parties regarding our work with our SILS Vendor

• Lead other Systems Management Activities to have awareness of Alliance members’ systems that integrate with the SILS, or that are otherwise used by members

• Work with other Alliance colleagues and team members to support improved processes, documentation and other collaboration infrastructure

Guided by the consortium’s mission, vision, values, and strategic agenda, work is non-routine and requires a creative approach to program management and leadership.  This position is expected to exercise great latitude in determining organizational process associated with large, complex, distributed, and high-profile projects.
