Director of Business Applications - Houston, TX

Director of Enterprise Applications
Manufacturing Industry | Onsite (4-5 days/week)

About the Role

We're seeking a Director of Enterprise Applications to lead our business applications and data strategy. This is a hands-on leadership role - we're looking for a true player/coach, someone who can roll up their sleeves alongside the team while also providing strategic direction, not just a hands-off manager.

This role sits at the intersection of business applications and data warehousing, with significant ownership over how our systems connect, scale, and support the business as we grow.

What You'll Own

Lead our enterprise applications strategy, with a primary focus on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Own both Business Applications (75%) and Data Warehousing (25%) - this role owns the full picture rather than splitting responsibilities with a separate data team
Drive integrations across our systems - a critical priority for this role
Manage and support our Salesforce CRM environment
Lead and develop a team of 4-5 direct reports

What We're Looking For

Proven Director-level experience in enterprise applications, ideally within a manufacturing environment
Hands-on experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Experience with Salesforce
Strong background in systems integrations
Comfortable operating as both a strategic leader and a hands-on contributor
Willingness to be onsite 4-5 days per week

Why This Role

This is an opportunity to build and shape enterprise applications and data infrastructure at a company that values ownership, cross-functional impact, and hands-on leadership. If you're looking for a role where you can lead a team and stay close to the work, this is it.
