Ok, so there is impact for them? Then elaborate and be specific. I'm pretty sure that any sane manager or director will listen when you tell you them you can save on operational costs. Just be specific and explain what you can do and what it will achieve. There's literally 0 need to use obfuscating non-specific vague words such as "technical debt". Everytime I see someone mentioning technical debt I take as a signal that there is a vague idea of opportunities for improvement, but no one has taken the effort to quantify the costs and benefit in a specific way. If you see yourself using the words "technical debt" as an engineer, it means you need to do your homework and be more specific and ask yourself what you're actually saying.
