FGM Architects (FGMA) is an employee-owned architecture and interior design firm with a longstanding commitment to service. Established in 1945, our work is guided by the goals of our clients, the context of each site, the environment that sustains it, and the communities it serves.

We partner with clients across PK–12 Education, Higher Education, Municipal, Public Safety, Recreation, Federal, Faith-Based, and Corporate sectors. Our teams work from offices in Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin, Texas, and Virginia, collaborating across locations to deliver thoughtful, community-centered design solutions.

Building communities is at the heart of what we do, and that includes our internal community. Joining FGMA is more than taking a job. It is becoming part of a collaborative and supportive environment where we learn, grow, and succeed together. We teach, inspire, and serve one another every day.

FGMA is seeking a strategic, collaborative, and hands-on Enterprise Applications Manager to lead the administration, optimization, and long-term success of our Deltek Vantagepoint enterprise resource planning platform.

Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer and partnering closely with IT, Finance, Marketing, Human Resources, Operations, and firm leadership, this role will serve as the primary business owner of Vantagepoint. The Enterprise Applications Manager will ensure the system supports FGMA’s business needs while improving processes, data quality, reporting, user adoption, and operational efficiency.

This is not solely a technical administration role. The successful candidate will serve as a trusted advisor who can understand business challenges, translate them into practical system solutions, and help employees use technology more effectively. The role combines hands-on system ownership with cross-functional leadership, training, process improvement, and long-term planning.

Direct experience with Deltek Vantagepoint or Vision is strongly preferred. We will also consider candidates with significant experience administering a comparable project-based ERP system who understand professional services operations and are prepared to quickly develop expertise in Vantagepoint.
