About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and own the enterprise operating model strategy, integrating cross‑functional value streams, data‑driven OD&E, and responsible AI governance to streamline value delivery, strengthen accountability, and drive measurable improvements in decision speed, cycle time, quality, cost to serve, and customer impact.
Lead enterprise org design: structure optimization, spans/layers, governance, role clarity, and decision rights.
Bring deep expertise in workforce requirements—translating strategic intent into operating‑model choices (decision rights, governance, interfaces) and organization design (roles, spans/layers, capabilities) so teams are sized, skilled, and structured to deliver outcomes.
Establish a weekly/monthly/quarterly operating cadence that uses concise written narratives, variance‑based reviews, and controllable input metrics to drive decisions and follow‑through.
Lead change strategy for operating model shifts; set adoption targets, leader routines, and simple change toolkits.
Stand up an OD&E Analytics & Science capability, including an Organizational Scientist (e.g., I/O psychologist or data scientist) to bring causal analysis, experimentation, and visualization to org choices.
Clarify central vs. regional accountabilities and standards; create a fast path to resolve global/local tensions.
Build and lead a high‑performing OD&E team (org design, OE analytics/science, operating model design, change enablement).
