At Sierra Space, we build the missions and systems that keep our world secure in the domain above Earth.  

Sierra Space team members share a spirit of innovation and collaboration and a belief that we can deliver on the boldest missions in space today. Together with our customers, we aim to safeguard our nation, sustain human presence in space, and secure the freedom of operations in low Earth orbit and beyond.  

Our success is measured by the trust of those who rely on what we build and deliver, and our technologies keep the United States and its allies mission-ready throughout space.

About the RoleThe Senior Director of Enterprise Applications is a transformational technology leader responsible for turning fragmented business systems into an integrated, end-to-end enterprise architecture that enables operational excellence and mission readiness. This role leads the strategy, delivery, and optimization of enterprise business systems, with a primary focus on SAP, the Siemens Engineering Suite (Teamcenter/NX), and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) within a highly regulated aerospace and defense environment.
The ideal candidate is both a visionary and a hands-on problem solver—an expert in SAP and enterprise integrations who thrives in turnaround environments, driving simplification, modernization, and standardization across global operations. This leader ensures the digital backbone of the company—spanning engineering, supply chain, production, and finance—operates seamlessly, securely, and in full compliance with defense requirements.
This role drives enterprise-wide transformation by unifying disconnected systems into a high-performing ecosystem that enhances speed, quality, and accountability. As a strategic leader, you will define and execute application roadmaps aligned with corporate goals, modernize global operations, and champion end-to-end systems thinking to ensure seamless continuity across engineering, manufacturing, and finance. You will oversee SAP S/4HANA, Siemens Teamcenter, NX, and MES platforms to optimize processes, improve visibility, and enable digital continuity. By integrating ERP, PLM, and MES systems, you will enhance productivity, traceability, and compliance while meeting defense-sector requirements (CMMC, ITAR, DFARS, NIST 800-171). Additionally, you will architect enterprise integration frameworks using modern middleware to maintain data consistency, scalability, and cybersecurity compliance. As a transformational leader, you will build and mentor a multidisciplinary team, foster collaboration across business units, and strengthen vendor relationships to deliver measurable performance improvements and drive enterprise-wide change. About You
