Responsibilities

• Organizational Leadership & Strategy Set the strategic direction, operating model, and annual delivery roadmap for SCADA projects, and design the Program's operating cadence and governance - structured project reviews, escalation protocols, and decision-making frameworks - to enable scalable, predictable delivery and commercial excellence.
• Identify operational risks, organizational constraints, and scaling challenges, and develop and own the mitigation and growth strategies to address them.
• Represent the SCADA Program in executive forums, leadership planning, and company-wide strategic initiatives.

• Partner with Sales on deal review committee (DRC) submissions and account expansion, bringing delivery feasibility and operational input into the pursuit process.
• Team Leadership & Development Lead and develop a global team of managers, project managers, coordinators, and analysts owning task and resource prioritization, performance management, and compensation reviews.
• Define clear role expectations and build bench strength through individual development plans, mentoring, and performance feedback - developing successors and stretch candidates through deliberate exposure to cross-functional initiatives, executive customer ownership, and contract management.
• Lead hiring, onboarding, workforce planning, and organizational design to build capacity ahead of business demand and run the team's operating rhythm and alignment meetings.
• Process & Delivery Excellence Own the SCADA Project Management playbook as the single source of truth for how the Program delivers, and drive adoption across the team.
• Standardize FAT preparation, design-and-operations readiness reviews, and project delivery tracking across FNE, Met, and SCADA products.
• Own the Project Delivery technology stack - Cora as the program system of record, NetSuite (ERP), and Arena (PLM) - driving operational efficiency through automation and AI, and ensure SCADA performance, RMA/warranty, and KPI dashboards give leadership real-time visibility into program health across the portfolio.
• Business & Financial Management Partner with the OT Business Unit to manage the P&L for the SCADA Program including project margin, portfolio profitability, revenue recognition, and resource utilization with accountability for committed financial targets.
• Own annual planning, budgeting, revenue forecasting, and initiative prioritization across headcount, tooling, and infrastructure - partnering with Finance and Sales on a rolling view of bookings, pipeline, and backlog - and build financial cases (ROI, headcount, cost/pricing) for operational decisions.
• Oversee client billing, collections, and project procurement, holding the team accountable for controlling program spend against budget.
• Own delivery commercial accountability: partner with Sales and Legal on contract reviews and MSA negotiations and operate every engagement to the executed contract.
