Key Responsibilities

• Drive standardization of OT systems, processes, and ways of working across Operations, Reliability, and QA pillars, ensuring alignment and consistency.
• Establish and enforce governance frameworks for architecture, integration, and change management to reduce fragmentation and improve cross‑team coordination.
• Lead cross‑functional OT initiatives and programs by defining roadmaps, managing risks, and ensuring disciplined execution across multiple teams and vendors.
• Introduce and govern daily operational, performance, and resilience metrics to strengthen visibility into system behavior and support data‑driven decision‑making.
• Contribute to vendor management by supporting solution evaluation, monitoring delivery quality, and ensuring alignment with TM2 standards and expectations.
• Provide high‑level technical oversight by guiding architectural decisions, supporting major system changes, and facilitating resolution of complex cross‑system issues.
• Strengthen reliability and scalability of key OT platforms through structured execution, performance tracking, and proactive risk mitigation.

What We Are Looking For

• Continuous improvement mindset: we are looking for someone who brings a strong mindset of continuous improvement – someone who is naturally curious, committed to solving problems at the root, and driven to make things better every day.
• 10+ years of experience in Industrial Automation, Operational Technology, or platform/integration environments, ideally within complex industrial or terminal settings.
• Strong program or project management capabilities, with experience leading large cross‑functional initiatives or multi‑system technical programs.
• Demonstrated ability to define, standardize, and implement governance structures in environments with multiple systems, vendors, and stakeholders.
