Vice President, Technology

In this great future, you can't forget your past.

Stüssy’s Global Technology team runs the systems behind our stores, ecommerce, wholesale, and logistics. This includes ERP, ecommerce, merchandise planning, third-party logistics integrations, store and end-user IT, and the data platform that connects these systems.

We are rebuilding our technology foundation while continuing to support daily business operations. Net Suite is replacing our ERP, RELEX is replacing our planning system, and we are transitioning to a new third-party logistics provider, rebuilding our data layer on Big Query, and rearchitecting Shopify.

The VP of Technology leads this organization, overseeing enterprise architecture, business systems strategy, Business Applications, Data & Engineering, and IT Infrastructure. This role is responsible for delivering the new technology foundation while building the internal capabilities needed to support and continuously improve it.

• Own the sequenced, costed multi-year technology roadmap across Net Suite, Shopify ecommerce and POS, RELEX, Big Query, and future PLM, aligned with company goals.
• Lead Net Suite and RELEX delivery as the executive technology owner, overseeing architecture, integrations, data migration, testing, cutover, and post-go-live stabilization while protecting approved scope, budget, and timelines.
• Own enterprise architecture across ERP, ecommerce, POS, planning, PLM, order and warehouse systems, data, and analytics. Establish system-of-record ownership and clear platform boundaries.
• Partner with Finance, Planning, Operations, Retail, Ecommerce, and Logistics leaders to translate business needs into a prioritized roadmap with clear trade-offs.
• Lead and develop the Business Applications, Data & Engineering, and IT Infrastructure teams, strengthening internal platform ownership and reducing unnecessary dependence on external partners.
• Develop the Big Query-based data and analytics roadmap in partnership with the Data & Engineering Leader, enabling reliable, self-service reporting across the business.
• Own the technology budget, resource plan, and vendor relationships while ensuring dependable application, infrastructure, and end-user support.

• Experience leading a major ERP implementation from design through stabilization while maintaining business operations. Direct Net Suite experience is strongly preferred; comparable ERP implementation leadership experience is required.
• Deep experience with Shopify ecommerce and retail ecosystems, including Shopify Plus, POS, and related applications supporting orders, inventory, fulfillment, payments, and customer experience.
• Experience implementing or operating merchandise planning, allocation, and replenishment platforms such as RELEX, Toolio, Blue Yonder, or comparable solutions.
• Strong enterprise architecture capabilities across applications, integrations, and data ownership, with an understanding of product lifecycle, merchandising, inventory, store operations, fulfillment, and financial processes.
• Experience delivering business analytics and reporting in partnership with business leaders, including data quality, metric definitions, and modern data platforms.
• Experience building and developing internal technology teams, managing managers, and establishing platform support and knowledge transfer from implementation partners.
• Experience owning multi-project roadmaps, budgets, and governance, including disciplined intake, prioritization, capacity planning, and change…
