Strategy & Roadmap Definition, Demand Management, and Delivery:

• Plan, develop, own, and drive a global IT strategy for the assigned domain under the guidance of the BRM Head.
• Lead the Global Service Subdomain by supporting short-term and long-term global service strategies, focusing on the identification and coordination of IT-related domain demand.
• Foster, shape, and manage the business demand for IT investments in the assigned domain across all geographies and business units. Select the appropriate approach to meet business needs and manage dependencies (both risks and opportunities) between other domains. Ensure that the prioritized demand is translated into valid IT solutions and clearly defined projects (with appropriate scoping and clear benefits definition). Consult the BRM Head as needed in cases of complex, large-scale, or high-risk business changes.
• With the support of the BRM Head, establish and maintain a multi-year roadmap of the Business Capacity Model and the System Landscape for IT systems related to domains in scope; synchronize it with Data Management, BI, and Gen AI roadmaps. Identify and manage global requests for proposals, analysis, recommendations, and execution with vendors.
• Communicate, coordinate, and connect the business mission, plans, and priorities to the application domains and related IT functions. Engage with the IT delivery organization(s) to plan and provide appropriate support.
• Once projects are in flight, the BRM will be accountable for IT delivery, working closely with the Solution Delivery and Infra & Service Delivery teams. After project completion, establish a learning and improvement review process to continuously enhance business value generation.

Stakeholder Management & Relationship Development:

• Together with the BRM Head, coach executive business stakeholders and their direct reports, continuously raising their digital literacy. Enable them to articulate technology needs and requirements that will advance business performance. Proactively share technology advancements and market success stories in the respective domain. Consult with Enterprise Architecture in developing the enterprise roadmap.
• Drive the engagement of the Global Service subdomain, involving communication and collaboration with all relevant senior stakeholders in the domain.
• As the IT organization's chief advocate, support the BRM Head in informing and influencing domain executives so that they understand, support, and adequately fund projects that align with IT goals, such as enterprise architecture and the infrastructure/application strategy. Notify the business of IT plans and changes, and their impact on business performance or plans.
• Run an internal VoC (Voice of Internal Customer) process to evaluate satisfaction levels with IT service delivery and identify improvements required in IT/Business Units to further increase the value delivered by IT projects and services.
