In this cross-functional leadership role, you’ll define the roadmap for business-critical applications across Finance, RevOps, HR, and Customer Operations—enabling scale, automation, and data-driven decision-making.

You will own the enterprise systems landscape, ensuring seamless integrations, robust data governance, and modernized operations. This is a pivotal role for enabling scale, unlocking insights, and optimizing business processes in a private equity–backed environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Ensure clean, consistent, and secure data across platforms to support analytics and reporting

• Partner with FP&A, RevOps, and GTM leaders to enable real-time insights and self-service capabilities

Operational Scale & Process Optimization

• Standardize and automate key business processes to drive efficiency and compliance

• Build integrations across systems to eliminate manual work and streamline workflows

• Own documentation, change management, and user enablement across all supported platforms

Leadership & Team Development

• Build and lead a team of enterprise systems analysts, data engineers, and technical specialists

• Foster a high-performance, collaborative, and execution-oriented culture

• Manage external consultants and vendors as needed to support key initiatives

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in enterprise systems and data management within a SaaS or technology-driven company

• Proven ability to lead systems strategy and data infrastructure in a high-growth or transformational environment

• Deep hands-on experience with ERP (e.g., NetSuite), CRM (e.g., Salesforce), HCM, CPQ, and BI tools (e.g., Looker)

• Hands-on experience managing system architecture, integrations (e.g., Boomi, Workato), and data flow

• Strong understanding of data governance, master data management, and SaaS business metrics (e.g., ARR, CAC, LTV, churn)

Preferred Experience

• Experience in a private equity–backed or M&A-heavy environment

• Exposure to compliance standards (e.g., SOX, GDPR, SOC2)

• Experience standing up business systems teams from the ground up

• Familiarity with PLG business models or high-velocity sales environments

• Exposure to audit-readiness and internal control frameworks (e.g., SOX-lite, GDPR)

What You’ll Gain

• Strategic ownership of systems and data infrastructure during a pivotal growth phase

• Influence across executive leadership and core business functions

• A balance of strategic planning and hands-on execution in a fast-paced environment

• Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits package

• Do work that matters. The work you and your team do will help Tempo succeed in our most critical initiatives.

• We’re growing fast, and we’ll support your career growth every step of the way.

• Work from wherever you thrive, with a flexible schedule and a supportive remote-first culture.
