The Director, Business Technology Solutions, is a high-impact, strategic individual contributor reporting to the CIO. This role serves as the primary bridge between Global Electronics Association’s leadership (Marketing, Finance, Sales, Services) and the technical execution teams. You are the "Value Architect" of the "What" and the "Why" - responsible for collaborating with business owners to discover opportunities, define the "What" and "Why," and transform internal operations into a modern, connected digital ecosystem that drives association growth and scale.

Responsibilities:

• Business Opportunity Discovery: Proactively partner with Directors and VPs across the association to identify operational friction and discover how technology can streamline workflows. You don't wait for requirements; you help define them through business collaboration.
• Roadmap & Prioritization Leadership: Establish and lead the annual and quarterly roadmap process for the enterprise systems suite (CRM, ERP, and related tools). Facilitate the trade-off conversations between competing business interests to ensure IT resources are focused on the highest-value initiatives.
• Business Value Realization: Define and track operational efficiency metrics in partnership with business leaders. You own realizing "Success Metrics" (e.g., reduction in Quote-to-Cash cycle time, improved lead conversion data, or automated financial reconciliation, improved deflection rate of Customer support requests via AI Agents).
• Strategic Translation & Requirements: Translate complex business vision into clear, actionable user stories, and functional requirements. You will ensure the technical "How" delivered by engineering teams perfectly aligns with the business "What."
• Agentic AI Strategy: Identify opportunities for off-the-shelf AI agents (e.g., Salesforce Agentforce) and operational AI solutions like Cassidy.ai to scale internal teams and improve member experiences.
• Executive Communication: Provide monthly and quarterly "State of Enterprise Systems" updates to the Executive team, focusing on value delivered, roadmap progress, and strategic shifts.

Please apply if this profile reflects you:

• The Business Partner: You view yourself as a business problem solver and leader first. You prioritize operational efficiency and ROI over technical "bells and whistles."
• The AI Evangelist: You understand that AI isn't just a chatbot; it’s a way to redesign how work gets done across departments and operational teams.
• The Problem Solver: You are obsessed with discovery. You enjoy digging into a business process to find a better, more scalable way to work.
• The Influencer: You can lead a room of senior stakeholders toward a consensus on priority without having direct reporting authority over them.
• The Modernizer: You have a "Product Mindset"—viewing internal systems as evolving assets that should make employees' lives easier and the association more scalable.

Requirements:

• At least 10 years of experience in business technology strategy, solutions architecture (business-facing), or digital transformation leadership.
• Technical Fluency: Deep functional understanding of CRM (Salesforce) and ERP (Oracle NetSuite) and experience with AI orchestration tools (e.g., Cassidy, Zapier Central).
• Proven Discovery Skills: Skilled in Business Process Mapping and identifying automation and Agentic AI opportunities. Expert in writing user stories, creating prototypes with AI tools, and managing requirements in an Agile/Scrum environment.
• Vendor Leadership: Experience directing and collaborating with high-tier consulting partners and holding them accountable for business outcomes.
• Transformation Leadership: Proven track record of managing large-scale digital transformation roadmaps and driving successful project completions through collaboration with project managers/scrum masters.

The Global Electronics Association is seeking an exceptional Chief Financial Officer to join our executive leadership team. This is a transformational opportunity for a mission-driven financial executive who wants to help build the financial architecture of a global organization on a significant growth trajectory. Global Electronics Association is seeking a CFO who leads with strategic confidence and collaborative integrity. The ideal candidate:

• Is a genuine thought partner to the CEO, not a financial gatekeeper, has opinions on strategy and advocates clearly.
• Brings operational discipline without bureaucratic rigidity.  The best financial leaders in industrial and technology organizations know how to hold the line on cash and working capital without slowing the business down. That balance matters here.
• Communicates financial complexity with executive clarity.  Board members and non-financial peers should leave your presentations better informed and more confident, not more confused.

You understand that financial data quality is a strategic asset.
• Leads contracts as a commercial operator.  You have been in the room for high-stakes negotiations and understand that contract management is a financial function, not just a legal one.

• Thrives in a growth environment. This is not a steady-state role. The Association is in active transformation, with significant investment underway and ambitious targets ahead. Comfort with ambiguity, pace, and change is essential.
• Operates as a peer among strong leaders. The executive team is experienced, direct, and high-performing. You must be willing to challenge and be challenged.

The CFO serves as Executive Vice President and a full peer on the Association's C-suite leadership team, reporting directly to the President & CEO. This role is more than financial stewardship; it is strategic co-leadership of an organization that exists to serve an industry of global consequence.

Financial Strategy & Leadership

• Serve as the CEO's primary financial thought partner contributing to strategic direction, investment decisions, and long-range planning, not just financial reporting.
• Lead multi-year financial planning and investment case development in support of the Association's growth mandate, including Board-level budget and investment committee presentations.
• Manage the Association's current intentional investment posture overseeing deliberate, disciplined investment spending to fund modernization and growth while maintaining organizational financial health.

• Partner with the CEO and full leadership team on organizational design as the Association scales toward its long-term growth targets.
• Ensure competitive, equitable compensation structures that support the Association's ability to attract and retain world-class talent globally.
• Build and strengthen the HR function; make a meaningful organizational contribution, not simply maintain the status quo.

Financial & HR Systems

• Own the performance of financial and HR systems ensuring these platforms deliver operationally, analytically, and financially. The CFO is the business owner; the CIO is the technology partner.
• Partner closely with the CIO on financial and HR technology roadmap decisions, ensuring the Association's systems investments meet the needs of Finance and HR functions.
• Drive financial systems standardization across global entities to support scalable, real-time reporting and analytics.
• Champion data-driven financial management through executive-level KPIs, performance dashboards, and actionable reporting, holding systems to a standard of financial insight, not just data storage.
