The Director, Enterprise Integration Strategy & Delivery, will assist in the evolution and management of the enterprise integrations service offerings within the IT Business Systems group. Reporting to the Head of Global Business Systems, this new role will be a hands-on, visionary Senior Manager to lead the enterprise integration strategy as well as manage delivery with a roll-your-sleeves-up approach across our SaaS-first global technology ecosystem. This role is mission-critical to modernizing our integration landscape, enabling scalable growth, and driving operational excellence. You’ll define the future-state architecture, lead cross-functional alignment, and personally (re)build the integrations that bring it to life—across platforms including NetSuite ERP, OneStream CPM, Salesforce CRM, and Luminance CLM to name a few.

You excel at translating business needs into actionable integration strategies, and you’re comfortable managing vendors, leading cross-functional teams, and driving enterprise-wide initiatives. Your toolkit includes strong knowledge of integration platforms and methodologies, a strong command of release and compliance processes, and the ability to communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences. You’re proactive, collaborative, and relentlessly focused on delivering value through innovation and operational excellence.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
