Requirements

Proven experience leading an enterprise technology or business systems function in a fast-moving, commercially driven organization, with direct accountability for both strategic platforms and operational IT delivery. You have an engineering background and have built things, not just managed vendors
Deep familiarity with the tools in scope: Salesforce, Atlassian, Zendesk, Microsoft 365, Slack, and AI productivity platforms. You do not need to have run all of them simultaneously, but you need to know how they fit together
A track record of translating business requirements into technology decisions, and technology investments into measurable business outcomes
Strong commercial instincts. You understand vendor dynamics, know how to negotiate, and do not let the portfolio sprawl
Experience managing cross-functional stakeholders at senior level, including Finance, HR, Sales, and Operations leaders who have strong opinions about the tools they use
Solid grounding in identity and access management, endpoint management, and IT operations governance, enough to set standards and hold a team accountable. Alongside this, hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), CI/CD pipelines, cloud platforms (AWS or Azure), and API-layer integration. You can work in code, review it, and build teams that ship it
Clear, direct communicator who can present to ExCo and board audiences without jargon and with a sharp focus on business impact
Hands-on experience deploying AI and automation tooling in production, including agentic workflows, MCP Servers, or API-integrated AI platforms. A grounded view of where generative AI adds measurable value in an enterprise context, and the governance instincts to deploy it responsibly
Experience operating within a SOX-compliant or similarly governed environment is an advantage

Job Responsibility

Lead the strategy, roadmap, and day-to-day operations for Genius Sports' core business systems, including Salesforce, Atlassian (Jira and Confluence), Zendesk, and Microsoft 365
Define the integration architecture between business systems and enterprise platforms, ensuring data flows cleanly between tools without creating operational debt
Manage vendor relationships in close partnership with Strategic Sourcing
Own the Workday integration layer, working with HR and Finance system owners to ensure data integrity and operational reliability across connected platforms. Position the team as a trusted integration partner as broader Workday ownership evolves
Architect and build the internal automation platform that will underpin how Genius Sports automates workflows, integrates systems, and delivers self-service capabilities across the business. This is not a buy-only function: you will be building
Own the IaC and DevOps practices for the Business Technology estate, using Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code standards to ensure platform environments are version-controlled, auditable, and scalable
Lead the design and deployment of agentic automation workflows, including integrations built on MCP Servers, AWS Bedrock, Zapier, and API-layer connectors that reduce manual process overhead across business functions
Partner with Engineering and Data teams to ensure the internal platform is built to the same standards as product engineering: proper source control, code review, deployment pipelines, and documentation
Drive the team's evolution from reactive IT support to proactive platform engineering, embedding engineering culture, practices, and accountability into how the function operates
Own the strategy and governance for enterprise AI and productivity tools, including Claude, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot, ensuring deployment aligns with the company's AI governance framework
