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.
