Who Are We?
Altar'd State is a rapidly growing women's fashion brand with more than 120 boutiques in 38 states. We offer a place of respite and a distinctive shopping experience with the latest fashion finds, the most sought-after accessories, as well as charming home décor and gifts.
Our Mission
“Stand Out. For Good”. At Altar’d State, those four words are more than just our motto, they are why we exist. From Mission Mondays, where 10% of our net proceeds go directly to local charitable organizations, to our long-standing partnership with Coprodeli USA, in which we are in the process of building 22 schools for impoverished communities in Peru, we are committed to giving back in meaningful ways to those in need.
The Sr. Manager of Enterprise Applications provides strategic leadership, governance, and operational oversight for the organization’s core software ecosystem and business platform integrations. This executive role is responsible for establishing the enterprise applications roadmap, managing software portfolios, and ensuring that critical business applications deliver consistent value to corporate, retail, and supply chain divisions.
Unlike infrastructure or security-focused managers, this position centers on optimizing the software landscape, managing enterprise software vendors, driving digital transformation through application development, and ensuring seamless data flows across unified systems.
Primary Responsibilities
Platform Administration & Support
● Strategic Oversight: Direct the availability, lifecycle, and modernization of all global enterprise applications, including ERP, CRM, and core business software platforms.
● Governance & Standards: Establish comprehensive application lifecycle frameworks, continuous deployment strategies, and system integration plans to minimize operational risk.
● Incident Escalation: Act as the ultimate authority for major business application outages, directing software debugging, patch deployments, and post-mortem reviews.
● Capacity Planning: Forecast enterprise software consumption, user licensing requirements, and platform scalability to stay ahead of corporate growth.
Vendor & Service Delivery Management
● Contract Negotiation: Manage enterprise agreements and high-value partnerships with major software providers, SaaS vendors, and application integration partners.
● Strategic Auditing: Review top-tier managed service providers and software vendor deliverables against global Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
Leadership & Stakeholder Engagement
● Executive Advisory: Partner directly with the C-suite and business operations leaders to align application investments with organizational KPIs and growth.
● Talent Cultivation: Lead, mentor, and build accountability within internal application development, business analysis, and software support teams.
Stakeholder Communication & Leadership
● Vision Alignment: Translate highly complex application roadmaps and software integration updates into clear, value-driven business strategies for non-technical leaders.
● Steering Committees: Chair regular cross-functional leadership meetings to coordinate enterprise software upgrades, patch schedules, and application rollouts.
Collaboration & Communication
● Enterprise Unity: Collaborate closely with Infrastructure, IT Operations, and Cybersecurity divisions to champion a unified, secure-by-design application footprint.
