Senior Vice President of Operations Technology

Job Description

About the Role

At enterprise scale, operations technology is no longer an enabling function; it is a core driver of efficiency, resilience, and competitive advantage. We are seeking a Senior Vice President of Operations Technology to lead the strategy, modernization, and execution of technology platforms that power large-scale operations across a complex, global organization.

This role is designed for a senior executive who understands how to connect operational strategy with technology execution.

You will drive digital operations transformation, standardize processes across regions, and ensure technology investments deliver measurable operational impact.
