We're an AI-first company, and we work with grit, openness, and a good dose of joy.

• Ensuring our systems landscape supports automation, standardization, and scalability across the business.
• Driving post-acquisition system integrations and harmonization following M&A activity.
• Championing data quality, governance, and consistency across platforms in collaboration with our Data & Analytics team.
• Managing vendor relationships, implementation partners, and major systems projects.
• Promoting strong user adoption through enablement, training, and documentation initiatives.

You will be a key member of our finance and operations leadership team and work closely with stakeholders across all departments to build a modern, integrated, and future-ready systems foundation.
