- Own and efficiently manage the budget for IT hardware, software, and resources tied to the India region as well as the services that the IT team delivers there
- Strategically liaise with the regional business leaders, both ensuring that our service delivery is meeting expectations and aligning our services with the businesses needs
- Manage the development and reporting of KPI metrics that highlight customer satisfaction, service performance, and areas for improvement
- Assist in the management of key systems (e.g. Office 365, Okta, Atlassian, Slack, Zoom), working to improve operational health, streamlining processes, and enhancing overall usage
- In support of our SOC and ISO compliance goals, work with other IT leaders to ensure all processes are thoroughly documented, consistently audited, and regularly improved upon
- Collaborate with InfoSec GRC on compliance-related activities, including Information Security, Data Privacy, as well as SOC and ISO audits
