About this opportunity:

What you will do:

• Provide end-to-end oversight of hardware and services delivery to hyperscale data center locations, ensuring adherence to timelines, budgets, and service level agreements (SLAs).

• Lead customer management efforts by maintaining strong internal and external relationships, driving strategic initiatives to enhance customer experience, and delivering performance-driven business reviews.
• Resolve escalated service delivery issues while ensuring professional, timely, and effective communication.
• Drive delivery excellence by optimizing performance, quality, and cost through resource planning, global delivery utilization, offshoring strategies, automation, industrialization, and process efficiency.
• Define, track, and improve key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure delivery performance and operational health.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with Market Area leadership, delivery organizations, and local entities to ensure alignment and execution success.
• Anticipate potential operational risks and proactively minimize service disruptions across the delivery lifecycle.
• Oversee inventory management to ensure supply meets demand and obsolete technology is depleted before introducing new hardware.
• Partner with Sales and Trade Compliance to ensure fully compliant global deployments and maintain an accurate register of countries in scope.
• Maintain asset traceability within systems of record, monitor warranty and support expirations, negotiate extensions, and identify add-on sales opportunities.
