The role demands a blend of technical expertise, strategic foresight, and a relentless focus on optimizing the colleague experience through data-driven approaches.

Responsibilities

• Develop, implement, and continuously refine the proactive servicing strategy across the organization, with a core focus on anticipating and preventing end-user issues to enhance the overall colleague experience.

• Analyze complex device health data, sentiment data, and operational metrics to provide predictive insights and actionable recommendations to leadership, informing strategic improvements.
• Collaborate extensively with various internal teams including product engineering, traditional support channels (Concierge, TechCare), and Active Directory, to ensure end-to-end alignment and solution delivery.
• Champion continual process improvements within the proactive servicing domain, identifying opportunities for innovation and automation to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with senior leaders, business unit representatives, and vendor partners, effectively communicating the value, impact, and challenges of proactive servicing initiatives.

Qualifications

• Proven track record in a Service Delivery or IT Operations leadership role with a significant focus on proactive servicing, preventative maintenance, and enhancing end-user experience.
• Deep technical understanding and practical experience with device health monitoring tools, especially Nexthink. Familiarity with other DEX (Digital Employee Experience) tools is a strong plus.
• Strong working knowledge and practical experience with the ServiceNow platform (e.g., Incident, Problem, Change, Knowledge, ITOM, ITAM modules) and a solid understanding of ITIL or other ITSM best practices.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze large datasets, identify trends, create meaningful reports, and translate technical findings into clear, strategic insights for executive consumption.
• Experience in managing service compliance, understanding operational risks, and implementing controls within an IT service environment.
• Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills, with the ability to define strategic roadmaps and drive complex initiatives.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, capable of articulating complex technical and strategic concepts persuasively to diverse audiences, from engineers to senior VPs.
• Proven ability to lead initiatives, foster cross-functional collaboration, and drive consensus in a fast-paced environment.
