• Partner with stakeholders across Sales, Marketing, Legal, Partnerships, Finance, Accounting, and Procurement to prioritize initiatives, manage intake, and deliver business outcomes
• Represent Business Systems in executive and cross-functional forums, translating technical concepts, risks, and tradeoffs into clear business recommendations
• Define and operationalize the team's AI strategy, including AI-assisted development, automation, documentation, and workflow optimization
• Sponsor and oversee major business systems implementations, integrations, and transformation initiatives
• Drive operational excellence through scalable governance, controls, and process improvements across the Business Systems portfolio
