Product Management & Portfolio Governance

  • Own intake, evaluation, and prioritization of enterprise application initiatives.

  • Evaluate initiatives using data-driven frameworks (ROI, cost modeling, risk, dependency analysis).

  • Define KPIs and success criteria for each roadmap item, ensuring outcomes are measurable.

  • Govern the portfolio to maintain alignment across business units and prevent fragmentation.

Lead Digital-First Transformation Initiatives

  • Drive initiatives that increase automation, elevate data quality, improve workflow efficiency, and create self-service experiences for Strata employees.

  • Champion AI- and automation-enabled process redesign where appropriate.

  • Ensure new capabilities deliver tangible improvements to efficiency, accuracy, speed, or employee experience.

Collaboration with Delivery & Execution

  • Partner closely with the Director of Enterprise Applications to ensure roadmap items are translated effectively into execution plans.

  • Provide business context and prioritization guidance throughout delivery.

  • Support feasibility assessments and participate in milestone reviews, ensuring execution aligns to intended business benefits.

  • Maintain a constructive, collaborative partnership model between product and delivery.

Vendor, Platform & Architecture Strategy

  • Provide strategic input into vendor selection, contract renewals, capability evaluations, and lifecycle planning.

  • Maintain a portfolio-level view of system dependencies, integrations, and long-term sustainability.

What We’re Looking For

  • 10+ years of experience in enterprise applications, product management, digital transformation, or business systems.

  • Proven success leading cross-functional strategic initiatives with executive visibility.

  • Strong understanding of ERP, CRM, HRIS, and revenue operations platforms, and how they enable business processes.

  • Familiarity with key Strata systems (Salesforce, NetSuite) is a plus.

  • Ability to translate business needs into clear, actionable roadmaps.

  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders.

  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, including evaluating value, cost, risk, and impact.

  • Executive presence with a collaborative, relationship-focused leadership style.

  • Comfort operating in ambiguity and simplifying complex problems.

  • Prioritizes standardization, digital-first solutions, and delivering measurable value.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

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. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

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.
