Responsibilities
Own the Big Four: You are the ultimate owner of our core business stack: NetSuite (ERP), Workday (HRIS), Salesforce (CRM), and Atlassian (Jira/Confluence). You don't just keep them running; you architect how they talk to each other to ensure seamless end-to-end data flow
Oversee API integrations and middleware strategies to ensure data flows seamlessly between Finance, HR, and Sales ops
Lead the rollout of new modules and tools. You aren't just tracking dates on a spreadsheet; you are validating the technical solution to ensure it actually solves the business problem
Manage our Zero Trust architecture, SSO (Single Sign-On), and Identity Providers (IdP). Security isn't a separate department; it's baked into your operations
Oversee the strategy for endpoint management (MDM, Jamf, Intune) and our corporate network layer (SD-WAN, VPNs, Firewalls)
You are the Tier 4 support. When the Help Desk is stumped, you step in. You should be able to conduct a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) that goes deeper than "restart the server"
Manage a distributed team of IT specialists. Your job is to level them up—turning support ticket closers into systems administrators
Ensure our 24/7 global workforce has coverage. You will define SLAs that mean something and ensure the team hits them
Manage the IT P&L. You will scrutinize vendor contracts, manage license counts (avoiding shelfware), and ensure we are getting ROI on every software subscription we pay for

Enterprise Systems Architecture (The 'Builder' Side)
Own the Big Four: You are the ultimate owner of our core business stack: NetSuite (ERP), Workday (HRIS), Salesforce (CRM), and Atlassian (Jira/Confluence). You don't just keep them running; you architect how they talk to each other to ensure seamless end-to-end data flow
Integration & Middleware: Stop the manual data entry. You will oversee API integrations and middleware strategies to ensure data flows seamlessly between Finance, HR, and Sales ops
Project Execution: Lead the rollout of new modules and tools. You aren't just tracking dates on a spreadsheet; you are validating the technical solution to ensure it actually solves the business problem
Identity & Access Management: You own the 'keys to the castle.' Manage our Zero Trust architecture, SSO (Single Sign-On), and Identity Providers (IdP). Security isn't a separate department; it's baked into your operations
Fleet & Network Management: Oversee the strategy for endpoint management (MDM, Jamf, Intune) and our corporate network layer (SD-WAN, VPNs, Firewalls)
Escalation Point: You are the Tier 4 support. When the Help Desk is stumped, you step in. You should be able to conduct a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) that goes deeper than 'restart the server'
Global Team Mentorship: Manage a distributed team of IT specialists. Your job is to level them up—turning support ticket closers into systems administrators
Follow-the-Sun Support: Ensure our 24/7 global workforce has coverage. You will define SLAs that mean something and ensure the team hits them

10+ Years in the Trenches: You have spent at least a decade in IT, with the last 5 years in leadership. You likely started as a SysAdmin or Network Engineer and worked your way up
The 'Internal' Mindset: You understand that your customers are your colleagues. You have experience managing the chaos of a high-growth company's internal demands
Technical Fluency: We don't expect you to code the app, but you need to speak the language. You should be comfortable discussing APIs, SQL queries, SAML/OIDC, and network latency
Business Systems Chops: You have successfully overseen the implementation or major migration of an ERP or CRM system. You know the pain points of NetSuite or Salesforce administration
Financial Literacy: You can build a budget, explain CapEx vs. OpEx to Finance, and hold your ground in a vendor negotiation
Impact: You will control the technology roadmap that powers the digital transformation of the world's biggest brands
Culture: Join a team known for integrity and collaboration, where individual strengths are leveraged to build high-performing units
