- Provide strategic direction and guidance to the teams, fostering a collaborative and high-performing culture of innovation and accountability.
IT Service Management (ITSM):
- Evolve ITSM to accommodate modern SRE practices and modern CI/CD pipelines.
- Champion and drive the establishment of a mature, enterprise-wide CMDB capability in support of multiple operational and security needs across the company.
- Develop and implement ITSM processes and procedures tailored to support an SRE-based environment, ensuring alignment with SRE principles and practices.
- Drive the adoption of infrastructure as code, containerization, microservices, and CI/CD practices within ITSM to enhance service resilience and agility.
- Implement incident management processes, best practices, including blameless RCAs and retrospectives.
ServiceNow Enterprise Platform:
- Own the ServiceNow Enterprise platform and collaborate with stakeholders to evaluate and add/configure modules to support strategic business needs.

Experience:
- At least 5 years of experience leading SRE teams (or similar roles) across Infrastructure, networking, Security, configuration management, release engineering with a track record of successfully implementing risk and security practices and driving operational change.
- Knowledge of controlling infrastructure and cloud service platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure).
- Excellent leadership and team management skills, with the ability to inspire and motivate teams.
- Leadership: Demonstrated leadership abilities, including team management and strategic thinking.
- Problem-Solving: Ability to analyze complex issues and devise effective solutions.
