About the Role
We are looking for a Head of Business Systems to build and lead the systems, processes, and technology foundation that enables our company to scale.
As we grow, the complexity of our business is increasing across GTM, Accounting&Finance, Data team and Operations. This role will own the strategy and execution for the business applications and workflows that connect these teams, ensuring our systems are scalable, integrated, secure, and designed around how the business actually operates. You will be responsible for defining our business systems roadmap, building a high-performing team, improving core enterprise platforms, driving automation and AI adoption, and partnering closely with business leaders to translate operational needs into durable systems and processes.
A key part of this role will be establishing how AI tools and AI-enabled capabilities integrate into the broader enterprise technology ecosystem. You will evaluate, implement, and govern AI tooling that improves employee productivity, automates business workflows, and extends the capabilities of existing enterprise applications while ensuring appropriate security, data, and governance standards.
This is a highly cross-functional leadership role for someone who can operate at both the strategic and execution level: setting architecture and governance standards while also driving complex transformation programs to completion.

Ensure the technology stack evolves ahead of the company's growth rather than becoming a constraint on it.
Enterprise Applications
Own the portfolio of critical business applications, which may include platforms such as Oracle Netsuite, Ironclad, Ramp, and other related systems.
Establish clear platform ownership, governance, administration, development, and support models.
Improve reliability, usability, scalability, and adoption of business-critical systems.
Partner with Security and IT to ensure appropriate access controls, compliance, resilience, and vendor risk management.
Establish standards for the adoption and administration of AI-enabled features and third-party AI tools connected to enterprise applications and company data.
Business Process & Automation
Partner with functional leaders to redesign workflows and eliminate unnecessary operational complexity.
Identify opportunities to automate high-volume or manual processes using workflow platforms, APIs, AI, and emerging technologies.
Requirements
- ·Experience managing systems integrators, consultants, software vendors, and significant technology budgets.
