Leadership & Team Development

• Build and lead a team of enterprise systems analysts, data engineers, and technical specialists

• Foster a high-performance, collaborative, and execution-oriented culture

• Manage external consultants and vendors as needed to support key initiatives

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in enterprise systems and data management within a SaaS or technology-driven company

• Proven ability to lead systems strategy and data infrastructure in a high-growth or transformational environment

• Deep hands-on experience with ERP (e.g., NetSuite), CRM (e.g., Salesforce), HCM, CPQ, and BI tools (e.g., Looker)

• Hands-on experience managing system architecture, integrations (e.g., Boomi, Workato), and data flow

• Strong understanding of data governance, master data management, and SaaS business metrics (e.g., ARR, CAC, LTV, churn)

Preferred Experience

• Experience in a private equity–backed or M&A-heavy environment

• Exposure to compliance standards (e.g., SOX, GDPR, SOC2)

• Experience standing up business systems teams from the ground up

• Familiarity with PLG business models or high-velocity sales environments

• Exposure to audit-readiness and internal control frameworks (e.g., SOX-lite, GDPR)

What You’ll Gain

• Strategic ownership of systems and data infrastructure during a pivotal growth phase

• Influence across executive leadership and core business functions

• A balance of strategic planning and hands-on execution in a fast-paced environment

• Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits package
