The Vice President of Enterprise Applications will lead the strategy, execution, and ongoing optimization of the enterprise application landscape during a period of significant transformation and growth.

This role leads a team of 20–30 application leaders, architects, and systems analysts and serves as a critical driver of integration synergies, value realization, and scalable platform enablement across the business. The VP will be directly accountable for enabling operational efficiency, cost optimization, and EBITDA impact through application strategy and execution, including the implementation of core platforms such as ERP, CRM, and HRIS.

M&A Technology Integration:

• Define and execute integration strategies that accelerate synergy realization
• Partner with corporate development and leadership on M&A due diligence and integration planning

• Drive the technology integration of acquired companies, including application rationalization and data alignment

Execution, Governance & Prioritization:

• Implement portfolio governance and prioritization frameworks to manage competing demands and ensure focus on highest-value initiatives
• Build a culture where leaders are accountable for outcomes, not activities
• Drive execution discipline, transparency, and measurable performance tracking
• Develop and manage roadmaps explicitly tied to EBITDA impact, cost reduction, and scalability

Stakeholder Engagement:

• Act as a trusted advisor and operator to executive leadership, with the ability to influence and challenge where needed
• Translate business strategy into clear, executable technology priorities
• Communicate effectively across all levels, including board-level visibility where required
