Role Overview
We are looking for a highly hands-on technology leader to drive Enterprise Applications,
System Architecture & Security, Automation and Digital Transformation at ALLEN.
The person should combine strong enterprise application and business process knowledge
with an architectural mindset and hands-on technical capability. They should be comfortable
going behind applications and working with code, APIs, databases, integrations, workflows
and system architecture to solve business problems.
This is an implementation-focused role with strong emphasis on speed, ownership and
getting things done.
Key Responsibilities
Enterprise Applications & Digital Transformation
• Own and drive enterprise applications across Sales, Finance, HR, Academics,
Operations, IT and other business functions.
• Lead implementation, modernization and optimization of enterprise platforms.
• Understand applications beyond their front-end — including architecture, data
models, APIs, integrations and backend capabilities.
• Evaluate new technologies and convert business requirements into scalable solutions.
System Architecture & Integrations
• Think like an enterprise architect while designing every solution — considering
scalability, security, integration, maintainability and long-term impact.
• Design how applications, databases, APIs and services should connect and exchange
data across the enterprise ecosystem.
• Avoid isolated solutions and ensure new implementations fit into the broader
enterprise architecture.
• Make sound build vs. buy, integration and technology architecture decisions while
remaining hands-on during implementation.
Application Security & Secure Architecture
• Embed security by design across enterprise applications, integrations, APIs and
internally developed solutions.
• Ensure strong authentication, authorization, SSO, RBAC, data protection and secure
API/integration practices across the application landscape.
• Identify application-level security risks and vulnerabilities and drive remediation
proactively.
• Ensure security is considered during architecture and development, rather than as a
post-implementation activity.
• Work with Cybersecurity teams on security assessments, audits and compliance while
retaining ownership of application security.
Salesforce CRM & Sales Technology
• Drive Salesforce CRM end-to-end, including architecture, business processes,
automation, integrations and adoption.
• Improve sales productivity, lead management, customer engagement and operational
visibility through technology.
• Build integrations and automation around Salesforce rather than depending only on
standard application capabilities.
ERP, Finance & HR Applications
• Drive implementations across Oracle ERP, Zoho and other ERP/HRMS platforms.
• Have strong understanding of P2P, O2C, R2R, H2R and other enterprise processes.
• Drive integrations across ERP, banks, payment systems, HRMS, CRM and other
enterprise applications.
• Automate and simplify complex Finance, HR and operational processes.
Service Delivery & IT Operations
• Drive ITSM, Contact Centre, LMS, Device Management and other operational
applications.
• Automate onboarding, offboarding, access provisioning/de-provisioning, software
allocation and service workflows.
• Improve application reliability, scalability and user experience through technology and
automation.
Automation, Development & Engineering
• Continuously identify manual processes and automate them using code, APIs, scripts,
workflows or AI.
• Personally write code/scripts, build prototypes and develop integrations whenever
required.
• Build internal applications and rapid solutions instead of always depending on
vendors or off-the-shelf products.
• Be technology-agnostic — the ability to understand, architect and build matters more
than knowledge of a particular programming language.
Implementation & Ownership
• Own initiatives from problem → architecture → solution → build → integration → go-
live → stabilization.
• Drive multiple implementations simultaneously with speed and strong execution.
• Manage teams and vendors where required while remaining personally hands-on
with technology.
• Take ownership of problems and drive them to closure rather than waiting for
someone else to provide the solution.
Ideal Candidate
We are looking for a builder, architect, problem solver and implementer who happens to be a
Senior Manager — not someone who has moved away from technology into only managing
teams.
When given a problem, the person's natural instinct should be to understand the
architecture, explore the technology, investigate, code, automate and find a solution rather
than asking who can do it.
They should naturally look behind every application — at its architecture, APIs, database,
integrations, data flow and workflows — and understand how it fits into the larger enterprise
technology ecosystem.
They don't need to know every technology on Day 1. What matters is the mindset:
“I don't know this yet, but I'll understand the architecture, figure it out, build the solution and
get it implemented.”
The ideal candidate should be architectural in thinking, hands-on in execution, curious,
technically fearless, fast-moving and highly accountable.
