Jobbeschreibung

We're looking for a Head of Enterprise Support and Service Operations to join EPAM's Global IT organization. This is a leadership role responsible for the technology support experience for EPAM's global workforce, including multi-tier IT service desk operations; end-user computing and digital workplace technology; cross-competency leveraged and executive support; and the knowledge, process, and platform capabilities that keep IT service delivery consistent across the enterprise.

You will lead a global, always-on support organization of ~350 professionals through active transformation: consolidating support functions into a single operating model, modernizing service delivery with AI-driven operations (AIOps), and managing the organization's cost structure with direct budget responsibility. You will set the direction for how EPAM's own employees experience IT.
