Why Join Omnicell?

At Omnicell, we’re transforming healthcare through intelligent automation, cloud-native technology, and operational excellence.

About This Opportunity

Reporting directly to the Vice President of Global Cloud Operations, the Director, Strategy & Operations serves as the operational and strategic leader responsible for driving execution across the Global Cloud Operations organization.

Purpose

The Director, Strategy & Operations is responsible for leading the business operations, strategic planning, organizational governance, and execution framework for Global Cloud Operations.

This role establishes the operating rhythm that enables executive decision-making, organizational accountability, financial stewardship, portfolio execution, leadership communications, workforce planning, and continuous organizational improvement.

Serving as an extension of the Vice President, this leader ensures that strategic priorities are translated into coordinated execution across the organization while improving transparency, operational discipline, and organizational effectiveness.

Primary Impact

As Director, Strategy & Operations, you will define how Global Cloud Operations plans, executes, measures, and continuously improves its organizational performance.

Your leadership will enable engineering and operations leaders to spend more time driving innovation and less time managing operational complexity by creating scalable governance, strategic planning processes, executive reporting, portfolio management, financial visibility, and organizational alignment.

You will become the connective tissue across the organization, ensuring that priorities remain aligned, dependencies are managed, risks are addressed early, and executive leadership has the information needed to make informed decisions.
