The Role

The VP of Enterprise Applications owns the strategy, architecture, and execution of Montrose’s core enterprise application ecosystem. This includes Workday, Salesforce, Coupa, and Workato, and how these platforms connect to each other and to the enterprise data platform.

This is not an “applications maintenance” role. This is platform leadership.

You will define how enterprise systems are designed, integrated, governed, and evolved—driving clarity where there is complexity and leverage where there is fragmentation. You’ll be bold about configuration choices, integration patterns, and automation strategy, while preparing the organization for the next generation of data-driven enterprise workflows.

A core focus of this role is preparing Montrose to fully capitalize on Snowflake Data Cloud zero-copy integrations, including forthcoming releases that connect Workday and Salesforce directly to Snowflake: unlocking analytics, AI, and cross-system intelligence without brittle ETL.

Key Responsibilities

Enterprise Applications Strategy & Architecture

• Own the end-to-end vision and roadmap for Montrose's enterprise application portfolio
• Define reference architectures, integration standards, and configuration principles across Workday, Salesforce, Coupa, and Workato
• Make opinionated decisions that reduce customization, eliminate redundancy, and improve long-term maintainability

Workday, Salesforce & Coupa Leadership

• Drive optimization and adoption across Workday (Finance, HR, Projects), Salesforce, and Coupa (Procurement, Spend Management)
• Ensure platforms are configured to support scale, reporting, and automation-not just transactional use
• Partner closely with Finance, HR, Operations, and Commercial leaders to align systems to how the business actually works

Integration & Automation (Workato)

• Own the enterprise integration and automation strategy with Workato as the backbone
• Replace brittle point-to-point integrations with reusable, observable, and governed workflows
• Enable event-driven processes and cross-platform automation that materially reduce manual effort

Data Cloud & Future-Readiness

• Design the enterprise application ecosystem to be Snowflake Data Cloud-ready
• Prepare for zero-copy integrations with Workday and Salesforce Snowflake Data Cloud releases
• Partner with Data & AI leadership to ensure application data is analytics- and AI-ready from day one

Governance, Security & Scale

• Establish strong governance for data ownership, access, auditability, and change management
• Balance enterprise controls with speed and usability-no bureaucracy for bureaucracy's sake
• Ensure platforms are secure, compliant, and resilient as the business scales

Team & Leadership

• Lead and grow a high-performing enterprise applications organization
• Set clear expectations for architecture rigor, documentation, and delivery outcomes
• Serve as a trusted partner to executives, translating business needs into platform strategy
• Leverage a nearshore delivery model utilizing Latin American talent

What Success Looks Like (9-12 Months)

• A clearly defined, well-governed enterprise applications architecture is in place
• Workday, Salesforce, and Coupa are optimized, trusted, and deeply adopted
• Workato powers a clean, observable, and scalable integration layer
• Manual, cross-system processes are automated end-to-end
• The organization is technically and operationally ready for Snowflake zero-copy Data Cloud integrations
• Enterprise leaders see applications as strategic enablers—not operational bottlenecks

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience leading enterprise applications or digital platforms
• Deep hands-on expertise with Workday and Salesforce; strong experience with Coupa and Workato
• Proven success modernizing enterprise application ecosystems
• Strong architectural instincts and comfort making opinionated platform decisions
• Experience designing integration-first, data-aware enterprise systems
• Ability to communicate effectively with executives, technical teams, and business leaders
• You respectfully challenge your peers, and welcome the opportunity when others challenge you
• You are flexible, resilient, and curious

Preferred

• Experience preparing for or implementing Snowflake Data Cloud integrations
• Exposure to AI-enabled enterprise workflows
• Background in regulated, data-intensive, or multi-line-of-business environments

Why This Role Is Compelling

You’re not inheriting a frozen stack, you’re shaping the enterprise nervous system.

You’ll have the mandate to simplify, modernize, and connect systems in a way that unlocks real leverage across the business. The platforms you design will directly enable analytics, AI, automation, and smarter decision-making at scale, while supporting a mission that actually matters.

If you want enterprise influence without enterprise paralysis, this is the role..
