• Own DWS catalog consolidation strategy for M&A‑acquired entities, harmonizing disparate IT landscapes
• Conduct performance analysis and capacity planning across Windows, Mac, and mobile environments
• Innovation & Experience Excellence: Embed Experience Level Agreements (XLAs) and Digital Employee Experience (DEX) metrics into architecture standards
• Champion AI, automation, and ML‑driven user experience strategies for proactive issue detection and resolution
• Evaluate emerging technologies and lead pilots that deliver measurable business value
• Direct SRE automation priorities as Technical Product Owner, ensuring engineering teams focus on high‑impact use cases
• Collaboration & Stakeholder Management: Collaborate with leadership and regional stakeholders to assess IT landscapes and identify modernization opportunities
• Work with internal teams (engineering, service delivery) and external vendors to ensure solution alignment and quality
• Act as trusted advisor to executives, translating complex technical concepts into clear business value
• Mentor engineering teams, lead workshops, and foster a culture of continuous improvement and innovation
• Security, Compliance & Governance: Integrate security and compliance requirements (ISO 27001, SOC 2) into digital workplace solutions
• Conduct root cause analyses, troubleshoot critical issues, and maintain enterprise‑grade stability
• Support project planning including scope definition, cost estimation, documentation, and governance

• 10+ years' experience in digital workplace architecture, ITSM, or related IT roles supporting large enterprise or global organizations
• Deep ServiceNow ITSM expertise with hands‑on experience in workflow automation, catalog design, and platform governance
• Experience working with Now Assist, DEX technology, Chatbots, and IVR systems
• Strong understanding of endpoint management (Intune, JAMF), cloud identity (Okta, Azure AD), and SaaS/cloud platform integration
• Experience with automation tools (PowerShell, APIs, Python), AI integration techniques, and workplace analytics platforms
• ITIL 4 Foundation or Expert certification; architecture certifications (TOGAF, AWS/Azure Solutions Architect) strongly preferred
