Required Sr. Director of Business Applications & Systems
You are the guardian of our source of truth. We run on a stack of 25+ interconnected SaaS tools, Salesforce, HubSpot, NetSuite, Workato, Gong, Outreach, IronClad, Okta, and more, and when that stack misfires, every team in the company feels it. Your job is to make sure it doesnt.
But ownership isnt just maintenance. As we scale our GenAI capabilities across the company, the quality of our core systems becomes the foundation everything else is built on. Youll be the one who ensures that when our GenAI Builder, our RevOps team, or our Finance team needs data, its clean, current, and accessible. Youre not a systems administrator. Youre the person who decides alongside with the business opener what the core stack looks like, how it grows, and how to build our agentic layer on top of it.
Youll manage a small team alongside a curated bench of specialized freelancers and subcontractors for deep technical work, and youll be the escalation point when things break. You report directly to the CFO.
Requirements: Mindset:
You treat the stack as a product, not a utility, with a roadmap, clear ownership, and a bias toward simplicity
Youve inherited over-engineered systems before and taken pride in cleaning them up
You can say no to complexity, and explain why in business terms
Service-oriented, Business partner mindset
