Position Overview
Sylogist is looking for an ERP Support Manager to lead our customer care and technical support function across multiple software product lines, including ERP, CRM, portal, and public sector solutions.
Reporting to the Director of Customer Care, this role will lead support operations through product-line leads and support professionals. The successful candidate will help improve support processes, strengthen team accountability, manage escalations, reduce ticket resolution times, and ensure customers receive timely, thoughtful, and effective support.
This is a hands-on support leadership role. The ERP Support Manager will lead the team, but must also be willing to roll up their sleeves when needed. This includes jumping into complex escalations, reviewing ticket details, helping diagnose ERP and accounting-related issues, guiding troubleshooting efforts, and communicating directly with customers when additional leadership support is required.
The ideal candidate has experience leading customer-facing software support teams and brings a strong foundation in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Dynamics NAV, or similar ERP/accounting platforms. Strong accounting knowledge is essential, as many of the most complex support issues involve financial processes, accounting workflows, and business-critical customer operations.
