This leader will help establish differentiated IT Operating Models for various types of products, using DevOps/DevSecOps tools and frameworks for applications, either under full deployment or, in some cases, for light/medium complex SaaS solutions with low development flow.

This IT Director will focus on delivering high-quality services through a high-performance team of Associates and 3rd Party suppliers, with a main emphasis on creating and maintaining robust operations and service strategies around automation opportunities, security standards, monitoring capabilities, and continuous efficiencies across the portfolio, in line with the business priorities.

On top of the leadership skills, this Director will be closely working with the SFC Team to restructure the way Business Delivery Systems (BDS) engages for software asset utilization/adoption as well as to fine tune demands through a common service catalog for the function. All this work is super important, but there’s a high need of someone who impacts positively in the engagement of the team and in the 3rd party relationship – that piece is as important as the delivery itself, for this fast-paced function.
