• 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
• Bias for action and comfort with ambiguity — you'd rather ship a clear improvement than wait for the perfect plan
