About The Position

Dutch Bros is on a mission to make a massive difference one cup at a time. We're a high-growth, people-first company that values "love, acceptance, and kindness". Behind every cup we serve is a complex, high-speed ecosystem of finance and supply chain operations, and we are seeking a senior leader to own the technology that powers it all. This isn't a back-office role; you are a key strategic partner to our Finance and Supply Chain leadership, responsible for the complete lifecycle—from delivery to support—of our most critical corporate applications. You will lead the "Goods-to-Ledger" technology pipeline, ensuring our core ERP, Inventory Management (IMS), and Financial Planning (FP&A) systems are stable, scalable, and secure. The ideal candidate is a "culture translator" and a "people-first" leader. You embrace the "hustle with heart" and understand that our work is "relational, not transactional". You will be responsible for hiring, mentoring, and building "compelling futures" for a high-performing team of technical experts. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, can create compelling business cases for new technology, and can confidently present your strategic roadmap to C-level executives.
