VP of Business Systems

Tekmetric•Houston, TX

9d•Hybrid

About The Position

Tekmetric is the cloud-based platform powering thousands of independent auto repair shops — and we're growing fast. As we scale, the systems that run our business need to scale with us. We're hiring a VP of Business Systems to take ownership of our technology landscape end to end: the tools our teams use every day, how those tools connect, and the data that flows between them. Reporting to our new CFO, you'll move us from a stack that grew organically to one that's deliberate, integrated, and built for the next stage of growth. You'll be both strategist and operator — setting the multi-year roadmap while rolling up your sleeves to consolidate redundant tools, fix broken handoffs, and make sure every system earns its place. This is a build role in a fast-paced, vertical SaaS environment. You'll have real autonomy and real impact from day one.

Requirements

10+ years in business systems, IT, or enterprise applications, with several years leading the function at a high-growth company.
Proven track record streamlining and consolidating a sprawling tech stack into something coherent and scalable.
Deep hands-on knowledge of core SaaS business systems — CRM, ERP, financial systems, HRIS, and the integration layers that connect them.
Strong financial and commercial instincts: you think in TCO, you negotiate hard, and you can defend a roadmap to a CFO.
Experience building and leading teams from a small footprint, ideally in SaaS or another fast-moving software environment.
A bias for action and comfort with ambiguity — you'd rather ship a clear improvement than wait for the perfect plan.
Excellent cross-functional communication; you can move fluidly between an executive readout and a working session with admins.

Responsibilities

Set and drive the enterprise systems strategy and multi-year roadmap across GTM, Finance, People, and Operations — directly tied to company priorities.
Audit the current technology landscape, identify redundancy and gaps, and lead a disciplined effort to streamline, consolidate, and rationalize the stack.
Own the architecture and integration of core business systems so data flows cleanly and teams stop working around their tools instead of with them.
Identify and prioritize opportunities to embed AI into core business systems and workflows — evaluating tools for data privacy, security, and governance risk before they reach production.
Establish governance for system selection, implementation, and spend — bringing rigor to how we evaluate, buy, and adopt technology.
Partner with the CFO on technology investment decisions, total cost of ownership, vendor strategy, and contract negotiation.
Build and lead a high-performing Business Systems team, including admins, analysts, and engineers as the function scales.
Own data integrity, reporting infrastructure, and the foundations that make our analytics trustworthy across the business.
Define and uphold standards for security, access, and compliance across all business applications.
Translate the needs of business stakeholders into scalable system solutions — and push back when a process problem is masquerading as a tooling problem.
