The role will be central to the business plan’s objectives, including but not limited to establishing client data exchange mechanisms, enhancing reporting internal and external, developing APIs, supporting digital initiatives and implementing AI use cases as identified and defined in the Future State Architecture and other initiatives to enable a platform for growth.

- Establish delivery governance, including planning ceremonies, RAID management, dependency tracking, steering updates, milestone control and escalation.
- Act as the key regional contact for workflow and utility services, providing senior stakeholders with progress updates, forecasts, recommendations and performance reporting.
- Ensure regulatory, data privacy, security, risk and internal-control requirements are embedded throughout service delivery and ongoing operations.
- Own the IT Service Owner lifecycle: service strategy, design, transition, operation, continual improvement, continuity, capacity and service-level management.
- Maintain service resilience and operational effectiveness through monitoring, incident and problem management, change and configuration management, privileged-access controls, cyber-security, patching and technology evergreening.
- Ensure data and service records remain accurate across EIM, PLADA and uCMDB, and that service acceptance, operational readiness, investment documentation and migration plans are complete.
- Lead resilience and control activities, including TRMF reviews, monitoring dashboards, certificate migration and application-security remediation. Key control expectations include completing certain activities 30 days before expiry, updating role-swap dates 90 days in advance, completing DMOV1 within 15 days, avoiding overdue DMOV2 and maintaining an ICE score above 90%.
- Manage teams, resources, budgets, vendors and succession planning while delivering services on time, within budget and to the required quality and operational-level agreements.
- Maintain a customer-focused, risk-aware culture, ensuring fair customer outcomes, effective stakeholder communication, compliance with Group standards and timely escalation of concerns.
To be successful in this role, you should meet the following requirements:
- 10–15 years’ experience in software deployment and support, including at least 10 years in IT leadership and/or IT Service Owner roles managing teams across countries.
- Strong knowledge of Workflow technology, supporting infrastructure, business processes and the full application lifecycle—from design and development through testing, implementation and production support.
