The role also leads organizational adoption of the new model, coordinating change efforts with global and regional stakeholders to ensure smooth transitions and minimal disruption. This leader will deploy global KPIs, dashboards, and reporting standards while partnering closely with leaders across Service, Customer Execution, Operations, Commercial, Workforce Management, and Training. Managing and developing a team of 25 FTEs, the VP will cultivate a high‑performance culture, strengthen capabilities, and guide leaders through complexity.

The ideal candidate brings a Master's degree (MBA preferred), 10-15+ years in global operations, PMO, transformation, or process excellence roles, and deep experience implementing global operating models at scale within complex, multicultural, matrixed environments. Success requires a strategic yet execution‑focused mindset, strong systems thinking, inclusive leadership, resilience, adaptability, and the ability to communicate with clarity and simplicity.
