- Drive problem management and root-cause analysis, ensuring permanent corrective actions, known-error documentation, monitoring improvements, and reduction of repeat incidents.
- Govern requests, access, batch schedules, interfaces, production controls, environment readiness, capacity, disaster recovery, and operational documentation.
- Publish meaningful service reporting and insights on SLA/XLA performance, backlog, aging, availability, defects, demand, recurring issues, customer experience, risk, and improvement outcomes.
- Set priorities and daily direction for functional, technical, integration, and platform specialists; balance global demand, severity, business calendars, and resource capacity.
- Hold providers accountable for contractual commitments, service levels, quality, productivity, documentation, security, and timely escalation; lead operational and service-review governance.
- Validate estimates, staffing, skills, coverage, and delivery plans; remove blockers and coordinate across multiple vendors and internal technology teams.
- Maintain sustainable knowledge through support procedures, system and data-flow documentation, cross-training, succession coverage, and disciplined knowledge transfer.
- Coach vendor and internal team members in customer service, ITIL practices, HR process context, problem ownership, and clear stakeholder communication.
- Serve as a trusted technology partner to HR, Talent Acquisition, HR Shared Services, product owners, regional teams, and control owners; translate needs into actionable, supportable solutions.
- Prioritize break/fix, service requests, minor enhancements, technical debt, and lifecycle work using business value, customer impact, compliance, risk, effort, and global reuse.
- Lead solution review, testing strategy, business acceptance, release planning, change approvals, deployment, communications, training readiness, and post-production stabilization.
- Coordinate SaaS releases, Oracle updates, ServiceNow upgrades, middleware changes, and enterprise dependencies while preserving global design standards and minimizing operational risk.
- Oversee end-to-end interface monitoring and reconciliation across APIs, middleware, scheduled jobs, and managed file transfers; ensure clear ownership and rapid recovery from failures.
- Protect employee and candidate information through least-privilege access, segregation of duties, secure data handling, retention, audit evidence, and partnership with Cybersecurity, Privacy, and Control Owners.
- Ensure compliance with change, release, access, SDLC, audit, business-continuity, and disaster-recovery requirements; remediate control gaps and operational risks promptly.
- Maintain an operational roadmap covering platform lifecycle, resilience, automation, self-service, observability, technical debt, integration simplification, and service-experience improvements.
- Use trend analysis, Lean/continuous-improvement methods, automation, and knowledge-centered support to improve stability, speed, quality, and cost efficiency.
- Contribute to vendor, budget, capacity, and workforce planning; identify risks, options, and investment needs and present clear recommendations to senior leaders.
- Evaluate emerging capabilities, including AI-enabled support and HR service automation, with appropriate governance, privacy, security, and measurable business outcomes.
- Progressive experience leading production support and application maintenance for global enterprise HR technology.
- Working knowledge of Oracle EBS HR applications: configuration, security, reporting, batch processing, interfaces, and troubleshooting.
- Experience supporting SAP SuccessFactors Talent Acquisition across recruiting, candidate, requisition, offer, onboarding, and reporting processes.
- Experience overseeing ServiceNow HRSD case management, knowledge, self-service, workflows, security roles, and sensitive HR data.
- Understanding of APIs, middleware, batch jobs, MFT/SFTP, identity services, interface monitoring, logs, reconciliation, SDLC, testing, SaaS releases, security, privacy, and resilience.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
- Minimum Years of Experience: 7+
- Deep knowledge of ITIL incident, problem, change, release, request, knowledge, service level, supplier, and continual improvement practices.
- Understanding of hire-to-retire and recruit-to-hire processes, with a strong customer-service mindset and empathetic communication.
- Ability to lead vendor-managed services through priorities, SLAs, quality, escalations, capacity, knowledge transfer, and improvement.
