Required Skills: •Customer Outcomes and Program Assurance •Own the global delivery assurance function — the leading-indicator system that surfaces program risk early, before customer escalation. •Accountable for Cloud Adoption Success outcomes across PS-led and SI-led programs (FY26 P4 method), with measurable improvement in on-time, on-budget, and on-value delivery. •Personally engage on the highest-risk programs across the global portfolio; act as the executive who mobilizes cross-region resources to recover a customer commitment. •Program and Delivery Assurance Methodology •Own program management methodology, delivery assurance methodology, and the delivery excellence framework — the cross-cutting standards that govern how every PS program is run from initiation through value realization. •Partner with Global Practices (which owns technical methodology) and Global Delivery (which owns engineering and execution methodology for GDC and productized services) to integrate all three methodology layers into a coherent end-to-end PS delivery standard. •Strategically drive integration of AI-enabled assurance and PMO tooling — predictive program risk, automated status synthesis, AI-assisted PM coaching — into the global methodology at the pace AI capability allows.
