TLDR
Lead AI-enabled SysOps transformation by unifying architecture, requirements, and vendor delivery into a cohesive, scalable system.
This role serves as a key integrator and transformation leader across SysOps, responsible for ensuring alignment across architecture, requirements, vendor delivery, and program execution.
Operating horizontally across teams, the position provides governance, coordination, and strategic oversight to ensure SysOps functions as a cohesive system rather than independent delivery streams.
