• Lead regional major-incident command for user-impacting events; escalate dual-scope or global incidents to the Global Head of Service Delivery & Operations per the published Sev-1 playbook; coordinate the regional handover playbook with SecOps & Network.

• Act as the regional IT business partner for North America — own the senior service relationships with regional business-unit leadership, country and functional heads, and regional CIO peers; translate service performance into business outcomes, actively manage regional demand, and represent the voice of the North America business into the global function.
• Own regional project intake and business-requirements capture for the North America Infrastructure, SecOps, and Operations teams — translating regional business demand into structured requirements and routing it into the global delivery pipeline.
• Hold regional accountability for M&A IT operational integration in North America — lead Day-1 service readiness and cutover, onboard acquired sites into the regional service model, deliver the integration playbook against the global M&A standard, and report integration progress and risk into the global function.
• Partner with peer pillars on regional touchpoints — Platform & Automation on regional platform performance and automation adoption; SecOps & Network on regional network operations, regional security incidents, and regional adoption of the secure-access network architecture.

Requirements:

• Experience — 8–12 years in IT service delivery, end-user services or IT operations, including 3+ years line-managing a service-management or desktop / EUC team in a multi-site enterprise; experience of service-delivery transformation and governing external service partners is strongly preferred.
