Job Description
Skills and experience
· Proven experience managing complex IT infrastructure, cloud operations, or shared-services transformation programs.

· Strong risk, issue, assumption, and dependency management, with timely escalation and resolution.
· Experience establishing program governance, decision forums, status reporting, and executive steering committee updates.

· Ability to define success measures, acceptance criteria, and benefits realization plans.
· Experience managing vendor deliverables and third-party dependencies.

A strong candidate should be able to:

· Convert ambiguity into workstreams, owners, milestones, dependencies, decisions, and exit criteria.
· Establish clear accountability between the DBA team as service provider, individual service owners, technical owners, business consumers, and executive sponsors.
· Drive managers and workstream leads to own outcomes without requiring director-level escalation.
· Escalate early with options and recommendations—not just status updates.
