• Engage directly with internal stakeholders to understand their needs, improve platform adoption, resolve recurring or systemic issues, and continuously improve the employee technology experience.
• Manage vendor relationships for the platforms you own: track product roadmaps, releases, and capabilities, and translate relevant developments into concrete value for LiveRamp.
• Apply an automation-first and AI-first approach to service delivery, platform operations, observability, reporting, and everyday employee workflows.
• Contribute hands‑on through design reviews, proofs of concept, configuration, implementation, and troubleshooting — this is not a purely oversight role.
• Partner with IT, Engineering, Security, and business leaders to align platform investments with company priorities.
• Collaborate periodically across international time zones, including occasional planned evening or early-morning overlap with global teams — distinct from any formal on‑call responsibilities.
