Technical Services Manager

Aravo is looking for a resource who will be a combination of an individual contributor and front-line manager, initially focusing more on the completion of customer integrations and then focusing more on the management aspects of the role once he or she is fully versed on Aravo implementation and as the team expands. The technical services team is responsible for web-services integrations of supplier information between Aravo and customer's enterprise systems as well as customer report development using Jasper and Micro-Strategy. However, we feel that the integration background is most critical for this role, as the report development is a secondary responsibility of the team.
