The individual will coordinate cross-functional teams across infrastructure, security, and operations to ensure project commitments deliver intended business outcomes. Key responsibilities include translating complex technical issues into business impacts, driving executive communications, and identifying opportunities for automation or AI-enabled improvements. The ideal candidate possesses over ten years of experience in enterprise technology programs and managed services. Required skills include expertise in cloud services, infrastructure, and risk management, alongside a functional understanding of how enterprise systems support business processes like ERP, HCM, EPM, CX, and SCM.

What you'll do

  • Serve as the primary operating counterpart for customer business and IT leaders to manage service reviews and executive communications.
  • Maintain a comprehensive view of service health, open issues, risks, and dependencies across all cloud infrastructure and applications.
  • Convert customer priorities into executable project plans with defined scopes, milestones, and delivery follow-through.
  • Lead the coordination of response efforts during major incidents, including communication cadence and corrective action tracking.
  • Orchestrate cross-functional expertise by engaging product, infrastructure, and security specialists to resolve technical blockers.
  • Translate complex technical issues into business impacts to help stakeholders make informed decisions on priorities and trade-offs.
  • Identify and implement automation or process improvements to reduce recurring delivery and operational friction.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 10+ years of experience leading complex enterprise technology programs, managed services, or customer-facing delivery portfolios.
  • Must demonstrate experience leading executive conversations and managing stakeholder expectations to drive work to completion.
  • Must have experience coordinating cross-functional teams including IT, engineering, product specialists, and operations.
  • Must possess experience with projects involving cloud services, infrastructure, security, integrations, or business process modernization.
  • Must have a functional understanding of how enterprise systems support business processes and the impact of outages or changes.
  • Must have experience managing risk, dependencies, escalations, major incidents, and disaster recovery activities.
  • Must possess excellent written and verbal communication skills for executive reporting and incident communications.
  • Preferred qualifications include PMP, Agile/SAFe, ITIL, or other relevant professional certifications.
