Role Summary
The Director, Business Operations, is a leadership role responsible for establishing, scaling, and operating a joint RFP and Business Ops function across IQVIA Digital. This is a hands-on commercial leadership position accountable for improving sales execution, deal velocity, and revenue realization across the full commercial lifecycle-from pre-sales proposals, opportunity support and renewals through contracting, pricing, invoicing readiness, and revenue recognition. This role owns the operational infrastructure and processes necessary for Sales success including the dedicated CRM, client project tracking tools, invoicing, collections, and the KPI program execution. Reporting to the VP Strategy & Operations, this role partners closely with Sales, Account Management, Finance, Legal, Operations, Delivery & Execution, Product, and Sales Ops teams to remove administrative and operational friction from the selling process and to ensure consistent, scalable, measurable execution across all IQVIA Digital revenue.

• Provide surge coverage and leadership during high-priority or complex deals, including coordination of executive inputs and ensuring alignment across senior stakeholders.

Internal Systems & KPI Development

• Lead the development, optimization, and ongoing maintenance of IQVIA Digital's internal commercial systems in coordination with RBU partners (e.g., Salesforce, Workfront, and related tools), ensuring alignment to enterprise standards while meeting Digital-specific needs.

• Own the design and governance of a centralized KPI framework spanning financial (e.g., revenue visibility, forecasting accuracy), people (e.g., headcount planning, capacity utilization), and process (e.g., workflow efficiency, cycle times) metrics within a single, integrated repository.

• Ensure consistent definitions, data integrity, and cross-functional alignment of KPIs across Sales, Account Management, Delivery, and Finance to enable enterprise-wide transparency and decision-making.

• Develop and operationalize both standard and bespoke KPIs tailored to leadership priorities and functional team needs, ensuring relevance to commercial performance and operational effectiveness.

• Establish regular KPI review cadences with leadership and functional teams to assess performance, identify gaps, and drive continuous improvement initiatives tied to measurable impact.

Workflow & Intake Platform Administration (Workfront)

• Own the configuration, administration, and optimization of Workfront to support standardized intake, workflow management, and visibility across commercial and technical operations.

• Design and maintain request queues, intake forms, routing logic, statuses, and automations to ensure work is captured, categorized, and directed to the appropriate owning teams.

• Configure incidents and request intake of workflows to support triage by delivery and technical teams, without assuming responsibility for resolution or execution.

• Partner with Sales, Account Management, Technical Operations, and Project Delivery teams to translate operational requirements into scalable Workfront configurations.

• Maintain platform governance, including naming conventions, workflow standards, permissions, and change controls.

Contracting, Pricing & Invoicing Enablement
