Position Overview:
At OOFOS, our mission is to make people feel good through our proprietary OOfoam™ technology and innovative footbed design, company culture, and community initiatives. We prioritize empathy, inclusivity, and creativity, leaving a lasting sense of WOW! We are committed to providing exceptional experiences for both our customers and employees, fostering a trusted and inclusive environment. You’ll have the autonomy and flexibility to develop your career and contribute to our innovative products, that enable people to live life in ultimate comfort.
The Enterprise Applications Lead is a senior individual contributor responsible for the strategy, governance, optimization, and lifecycle management of the company’s enterprise application portfolio. This role bridges business strategy and technology execution, partnering with leaders across Finance, Product, Supply Chain, Planning, Customer Experience, Sales, Marketing, HR, and Operations to ensure technology enables scalable growth.
