Job Description:

VP Business Systems, Data & AI

Role Summary

This role is accountable for the enterprise platform portfolio that powers core operations, decision-making, and scalable growth. This includes ERP, data/analytics platforms, integration/EDI, and business‑critical applications. The VP ensures these platforms operate as a cohesive ecosystem—secure, governed, scalable, and aligned to business strategy.

This role is designed for an operating model where vendors execute build/run, while retains ownership, governance, architecture, and accountability.

Reports to: SVP Global Technology

Role Purpose

Ensure enterprise platforms deliver repeatable business capability and predictable change at scale.

Protect Nutrabolt from platform drift, vendor dependency, and architecture sprawl.

Establish an environment where the company can safely accelerate strategic initiatives through:

Standardized delivery patterns

Trusted data and metrics

Governed AI adoption

Strong controls and auditability

Scope of Platforms Owned

This VP owns platform outcomes across:

ERP / Enterprise Applications: D365 and core enterprise business systems

Data Platform: Microsoft Fabric, Azure SQL, cloud data warehouse patterns

Analytics & AI Products: Power BI ecosystem, semantic layer, AI agents / Copilot enablement (governed)

Integration & API Platform: integration patterns, middleware, APIs, eventing (as applicable)

EDI / B2B: SPS Commerce and B2B connectivity governance, customer/supplier integrations

Business‑Critical Applications: custom apps and niche platforms that support revenue, operations, compliance

Key Responsibilities

Enterprise Platform Strategy & Roadmap

Own the multi-year platform strategy aligned to business priorities and growth targets.

Translate enterprise strategy into platform roadmaps with clear outcomes, sequencing, and dependencies.

Ensure platform decisions optimize for:

Scalability and speed of change

Control and audit readiness

Reduced manual workarounds and shadow systems

Drive a rational strategy for business-owned platforms (e.g., E2open) to ensure they are integrated and governed , without disrupting business ownership.

Architecture, Standards & Guardrails

Establish and enforce enterprise standards for:

Solution architecture

Integration patterns

Data and semantic modeling

Platform configuration principles (e.g., avoid customization sprawl)

Chair/own the architecture review mechanism (ARB) to prevent:

Vendor-driven architecture drift

Tool sprawl and duplicated capabilities

Uncontrolled technical debt

Vendor-Executed Delivery & Operating Model Oversight

Own vendor execution outcomes across build and run:

Delivery quality and timeliness

Operational service levels (where applicable)

Knowledge transfer and documentation standards

Set expectations that vendors must deliver:

Repeatable process

Quality gates

Evidence-based progress

Transparent risk management

Data, Analytics & Trusted Metrics

Ensure the company has a trusted data foundation and consistent KPI definitions.

Sponsor and enforce the semantic layer and metric governance approach so "one version of truth" is real.

Ensure analytics delivery is treated as product outcomes—not dashboard volume.

AI Enablement & Governance

Enable responsible AI adoption for business value while maintaining guardrails.

Ensure AI agents and Copilot solutions use:

Approved data sources

Governed semantic models

Auditability and controls

Clear ownership and monitoring

Partner with Security/Risk and Legal/Privacy stakeholders to formalize:

AI usage policies

Data exposure standards

Ongoing compliance and monitoring

Controls, Risk & IPO Readiness (Technology Contribution)

Ensure platform solutions support:

Controls and auditability (SOX/SOC readiness where applicable)

Data lineage and traceability for key reports

Segregation of duties and role-based access

Partner with IT Controls and Security leaders to remediate gaps and maintain a defensible posture.

Platform Portfolio Health & Financial Management

Own platform portfolio health across:

Cost transparency and optimization

Vendor commercial management (renewals, SLAs, penalties, exit readiness)

Lifecycle management (upgrade strategy, deprecation, rationalization)

Provide clear executive-level reporting: value, risks, and trade-offs.

Stakeholder Partnership & Business Outcomes

Build strong partnerships with functional leaders (Finance, Supply Chain, Commercial, Operations).

Ensure product owners exist and decision rights are clear.

Remove friction that prevents value realization (adoption barriers, unclear ownership, conflicting metrics).

Preferred Experience

D365 F&O or comparable ERP platform leadership

Microsoft data ecosystem exposure (Fabric, Azure, Power BI) strongly preferred

Experience in high-growth environments and/or IPO readiness journeys

Supply chain + finance process understanding (enough to govern outcomes and trade-offs)

Experience implementing governance without slowing business velocity
