Group Platform Manager- SDFC

About the role

IDEX's Severe Duty Flow Control (SDFC) segment operates four business units - Viking Pump, Warren Rupp, Abel, and Richter. Each serves industrial customers through B2B channels. Together they are standardizing on SAP Commerce Cloud as the group-level digital platform for customer-facing commerce, product catalogs, and channel-partner portals. The Group Platform Manager owns making that platform work at scale. You set the architecture, UX standards, vendor governance, and integration patterns that all nine BUs build on. You partner with business-unit digital leaders who own commercial outcomes - SDFC Digital owns the 'how,' business units own the 'what. Primary Duties & Responsibilities SAP Commerce Cloud Ownership Own SAP Commerce Cloud configuration, deployment, and operational health across all SDFC BUs. Codify an existing B2B and D2C configuration as the SDFC template; onboard Tier 2 and Tier 3 BUs to that template. Manage the multi-BU shared instance model - catalog separation, role-based access, BU-specific pricing and merchandising logic. Partner with BU digital leaders on their roadmaps; translate requests into governed platform capabilities. Platform Architecture & Integration Own integration standards between SAP Commerce Cloud and the rest of the IDEX stack - JDE (ERP), Microsoft Dynamics (CRM), Brandfolder (DAM), analytics, authentication. Coordinate with the JDE Integration Specialist to ensure product, pricing, and order data flows are clean, monitored, and recoverable. Define the PIM strategy (Salsify) and lead its adoption as the product-data orchestration layer in Phase 2-3. Set release governance - change control, testing standards, rollback paths - so BUs know what to expect and when. UX Standards & Design Systems Publish and maintain the SDFC design system - color palette, typography, component library, layout patterns. Ensure accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) are met across all Commerce Cloud properties. Prevent redundant UI development - BUs build on shared components rather than reinventing wheels. Work with BU web managers to ensure their front-end implementations reference the design system. Vendor Pod Management Manage relationships with onshore and offshore development pods under defined SOWs and SLAs. Run monthly vendor scorecards - cost, quality, throughput, adherence to SDFC standards. Hold vendors accountable to architecture, UX, and release standards; escalate underperformance. Track cost-to-deliver per feature and defect so investment is defensible and adjustable. Data Governance Own product data quality and flow across the stack - JDE as source of truth, Commerce Cloud as channel catalog, Brandfolder as asset repository. Monitor integration health; surface data-quality issues before they hit customers. Define data governance policies BUs operate within - who owns what, how changes propagate, what gets audited.
