Director, Enterprise

We are looking for a strategic, highly hands-on, execution-focused Director, Enterprise Applications to lead the strategy, transformation, delivery and operation of Draganfly's core business platforms and processes, including ERP and procurement systems. This is a working leadership role, not a purely strategic or people-management position. The successful candidate will be expected to personally analyze business processes, configure and optimize systems, troubleshoot issues, work with data and integrations, lead implementations, test solutions, and drive projects through completion.

While this role will work closely with vendors, consultants and internal teams, the Director must be comfortable rolling up their sleeves and doing the work directly rather than primarily delegating execution to others.

As Draganfly grows across Canada, the US and internationally, this leader will modernize and standardize our application landscape across Draganfly Inc., Draganfly Innovations Inc., Draganfly Innovations USA, Draganfly Defense, USA, and Candrone. The role requires a leader who can partner with senior executives, work with colleagues within each department, drive execution at scale, and be part of a high-performing team.

This is a remote role, but the successful candidate will need to be willing to travel.

Define and execute the enterprise applications strategy and multi-year roadmap across ERP, finance, procurement and related corporate systems.

Lead transformation initiatives that standardize and simplify business processes, modernize legacy tools and consolidate platforms in the cloud.

Align related application roadmaps with Draganfly’s business priorities, growth plans and multi-entity operating structure.

Own delivery of enterprise initiatives from initial requirements through hands-on configuration, testing, implementation and post-launch support.

Define and track measurable outcomes such as facilitating with operations a faster financial close, with finance chart of account updates, new subsidiary uploads, greater AP/AR automation and fewer manual, spreadsheet-dependent processes.

Hands on execution of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and procurement across their full lifecycle, from evaluation and selection of new platforms to ongoing optimization of existing platforms.

Work directly in the systems and with end users to identify issues, determine root causes and implement practical solutions.

Ensure finance platforms support Record-to-Report (R2R) and multi-entity consolidation and reporting, and that HR systems support the Hire-to-Retire (H2R) lifecycle, including payroll, benefits and talent management.

Ensure the platforms support Order-to-Cash (O2C), Procure-to-Pay (P2P), contract visibility and supplier management.

Partner with Finance, HR, Legal, Procurement, Sales and Supply Chain leaders to define and implement best-practice processes across all entities.

Drive automation and deliver improvements in cycle times, data quality and reporting transparency.

Act as a primary point of contact for process optimization, supporting change management and driving consistency in process standardization.

Define the target-state application architecture and integration patterns across the ERP and dependent data platforms.

Ensure systems are secure, auditable and integrated through scalable APIs and middleware, and guide build-versus-buy decisions.

Ensure enterprise platforms meet public company financial controls and audit requirements (Canada and US), including COSO Framework, SOX
404b protocols, as well as data governance and privacy…
