About the role

  • Define the integration architecture between business systems and enterprise platforms, ensuring data flows cleanly between tools without creating operational debt.
  • Genius Sports is transforming how enterprise technology is built and experienced across the business.
  • This is a hands-on engineering and leadership role.

Responsibilities

  • Own the Business Systems Portfolio
  • Lead the strategy, roadmap, and day-to-day operations for Genius Sports' core business systems, including Salesforce, Atlassian (Jira and Confluence), Zendesk, and Microsoft 365.
  • Manage vendor relationships in close partnership with Strategic Sourcing.
  • Own the Workday integration layer, working with HR and Finance system owners to ensure data integrity and operational reliability across connected platforms. Position the team as a trusted integration partner as broader Workday ownership evolves.
  • Build and Own the Internal Platform Engineering Capability
  • Architect and build the internal automation platform that will underpin how Genius Sports automates workflows, integrates systems, and delivers self-service capabilities across the business. This is not a buy-only function: you will be building.
  • Own the IaC and DevOps practices for the Business Technology estate, using Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code standards to ensure platform environments are version-controlled, auditable, and scalable.
  • Lead the design and deployment of agentic automation workflows, including integrations built on MCP Servers, AWS Bedrock, Zapier, and API-layer connectors that reduce manual process overhead across business functions.
  • Partner with Engineering and Data teams to ensure the internal platform is built to the same standards as product engineering: proper source control, code review, deployment pipelines, and documentation.
  • Drive the team's evolution from reactive IT support to proactive platform engineering, embedding engineering culture, practices, and accountability into how the function operates.

Benefits

  • Own the operational health and strategic direction of Slack and Microsoft 365 (including Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive), ensuring these platforms are performant, well-governed, and fit for a hybrid, global workforce.
