Job Description:
We’re not just building better tech. We’re rewriting how data moves and what the world can do with it. With Confluent, data doesn’t sit still. Our platform puts information in motion, streaming in near real-time so companies can react faster, build smarter, and deliver experiences as dynamic as the world around them. It takes a certain kind of person to join this team. Those who ask hard questions, give honest feedback, and show up for each other. No egos, no solo acts. Just smart, curious humans pushing toward something bigger, together. One Confluent. One Team. One Data Streaming Platform. About the Role: Our business runs on a consumption model — and that changes everything about how our systems need to be designed, integrated, and scaled. Unlike traditional seat-based SaaS, consumption-based businesses demand real-time visibility into usage, highly flexible billing and revenue recognition, and a GTM motion that is deeply intertwined with how customers adopt and expand the product. As we scale, the systems that underpin these operations must be not just functional, but a direct driver of business outcomes. To lead that effort, we are investing in a new senior leadership role at the heart of our business systems organization. The Senior Director, Business Systems will serve as the primary technology partner to our GTM, Finance, Legal, and Customer Support organizations, owning the strategy, roadmap, and execution of the systems and capabilities that power these functions. Reporting directly to the Chief Information Officer, this leader will manage a team of Business Systems Analysts and an Architecture team, and will be accountable for the performance, reliability, and strategic evolution of our core business application stack including Salesforce, NetSuite, Marketo, and Metronome. This is a highly cross-functional role that demands executive-level credibility with senior business stakeholders, a clear point of view on how systems enable consumption-model growth, and a track record of leading teams that deliver with consistency and quality.
