Vice President of Engineering - printIQ & DocketManager Location: Remote (US, Canada or ANZ preferred). Travel to Wellington, NZ required, particularly in the first 6 months. About printIQ & DocketManager: printIQ is a cloud-based Print MIS platform that serves as the operational backbone for printing businesses: estimating, order entry, inventory, purchasing, invoicing, and manufacturing data collection in a single system. We are the market leader in the enterprise print segment across Australia and New Zealand and are growing rapidly in North America and the United Kingdom, where the majority of our new bookings now originate. Alongside our sister company Docket Manager, which serves the SMB print market from its base in Ontario, we are part of Banyan Software's permanent-hold portfolio, and this is a compelling moment for a technical leader to define the next chapter of both platforms. The Opportunity You will own the full technical strategy for a platform at meaningful scale, built on SQL Server, .NET, and a jQuery front end, serving printing operations across ANZ, North America, and Europe. The engineering organization spans approximately 20 developers across printIQ and Docket Manager, with deep product knowledge and long tenure. North American growth is accelerating, and the opportunity is to define the long-range technical vision, shift engineering investment toward strategic initiatives, and build an AI strategy that creates durable competitive distance in a vertical the major ERPs do not touch. This is a role for a builder who wants to shape the next generation of two market-leading platforms inside a permanent ownership structure with no exit clock. You will join printIQ directly as a core member of the leadership team, reporting to the CEO, with three direct reports: the Director of Product and Development (printIQ), the Director of Tech Operations (printIQ), and the Director of Development (Docket Manager). You will own the full technology strategy, engineering organization, product delivery, and platform architecture. What You Will Own Technology and Architecture Define and execute the technical vision for the printIQ and Docket Manager platforms, ensuring they are scalable, secure, and built for the next phase of growth. Drive platform modernization: infrastructure, APIs, performance, and security posture. Design a data architecture that serves analytics, BI, and AI as a unified estate, positioning the company for AI capabilities competitors using generic models cannot replicate. Lead adoption of AI-assisted development practices to increase engineering throughput and embed intelligent workflows into the product. Manage technical debt pragmatically, balancing remediation with forward momentum. Leadership and Engineering Culture Build and lead a high-performing engineering organization across printIQ and Docket Manager, hiring well, setting clear expectations, and developing the next layer of technical leadership. Evolve engineering practices, development standards, and delivery rhythms to support the next phase of growth. Champion AI-native ways of working and invest in the team's continued growth. Lead a multi-geography team spanning New Zealand, North America, and the UK, bringing external perspective and best practice
