Inheriting a solid foundation with major recent investments, the incoming CIO will raise Amplify’s operational ceiling-navigating a complex environment featuring consultative sales, physical/digital fulfillment, and sophisticated revenue recognition. The CIO leads a 175-person organization (75 FTEs plus partners and contractors) with a budget over $45 million, reporting to a CTO who is a hands‑on technical leader invested in the CIO’s success, and working closely with the COO on enterprise initiatives.

Key responsibilities include:

• Own strategy and optimization for the core tech stack (Salesforce, Net Suite, Workday, Hub Spot) and 400+ applications, driving down debt and managing costs.

• Staff, activate, and lead the internal AI Transformation team to embed AI and low-code/no-code capabilities across business workflows safely.

• Own the internal AI productivity pipeline and the rollout of tools like Glean, Claude, and Salesforce Agentforce, internal vibe-coding for non-coders, and the governance that lets people build both quickly and safely.

• Partner with Finance and external auditors to ensure transaction integrity, maturing General IT Controls (GITC) and supporting SOC and financial audit readiness.

• Reallocate technology investments toward historically underserved areas (People, Marketing, and Product-facing technology) while maintaining pristine financial controls.

• Lead a high-performance, multi-disciplinary, 175-person blended workforce.

• Complete the planned organizational evolution toward distinct strategic and operational arms, and ensure the structure enables both rigorous governance and agile delivery.

• Streamline governance overhead, support a culture of accountability to stakeholders, and empower teams to deliver pragmatic solutions quickly.

• Evolve the Business Systems team into a faster, more proactive, solutions-oriented partner — functional leaders across Sales, Marketing, CX, Finance, Supply Chain, and Product will partner closely with the CIO as they improve and transform their processes.

• Partner closely with the Data organization, and assess opportunities to streamline and improve the joint collaboration with business functions.

• Scale & Complexity: Has led a 50+ person IT/Business Systems organization with a substantial budget inside a complex, multi-channel business ($300M-$1B+ revenue). Ideally one combining physical logistics or fulfillment with digital SaaS delivery.

• AI Implementation: Has driven enterprise AI adoption past the pilot stage by deploying tools with true workforce uptake, and building governance that lets teams move both quickly and safely. Evidence of deploying tools/systems with a measurable approach (e.g. standing up or scaling an AI/enablement team and empowering non-technical builders with low-code/no-code tools — not just sponsored them.)

• Enterprise Systems Depth: Has owned a modern core stack (CRM, ERP, HRIS) and a large application…
