About The Position

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.

This individual will be part of a team that bridges the gap between the business teams, vendors, technology partners, and internal IT teams to operate and maintain key integration platforms. This is not just another IT role—it’s a chance to shape the backbone of our enterprise integrations and unlock the next wave of digital transformation. You’ll be empowered to lead, build, and innovate in a fast-paced, high-impact environment. To thrive in this role, you’ll bring a blend of strategic thinking, technical expertise, and cross-functional leadership. You’re a systems thinker who can architect scalable solutions while navigating ambiguity with confidence. 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.
