You will lead product governance, oversee enterprise technology planning, and make critical decisions on proprietary tool development, technology consolidation, and third-party integration. You will act as a key advisor to leadership while also engaging directly with engineering teams to ensure consistent execution, standardization, and long-term sustainability of solutions.

You will also bring product ownership capabilities to the table — working closely with business units to define vision, prioritize features, and drive value delivery through architectural excellence.

This role offers the opportunity to impact global transformation efforts, especially across retail, airlines, and logistics, while operating in a flexible, multicultural, and forward-thinking environment.

• Govern technical solutions across development, infrastructure, and operations, ensuring scalability, security, and regulatory compliance.
• Conduct post-implementation evaluations to assess ROI, performance, and continuous improvement areas.
• Translate business needs into robust, automated, and scalable architectures using cloud-native and modern engineering principles.
• Champion professionalization and standardization across all phases of the software development lifecycle.
• Drive DevOps maturity, performance, and monitoring strategies.
• Drive technology consolidation and platform harmonization by merging redundant or siloed systems.
• Own and manage build vs. buy decisions, balancing in-house development, outsourcing, and third-party integrations.
• Evaluate and implement emerging technologies, including cloud automation, containerization, and advanced data platforms.
• Collaborate across teams to ensure on-time, in-scope, and on-budget delivery of IT projects.
• Ensure all solutions meet security, data privacy (GDPR), and internal compliance requirements.
• Lead, mentor and coach cross-functional technical teams.
• Act as a strategic product owner— defining product visions, managing backlogs, setting priorities, and ensuring business value delivery.
• Translate complex business needs into a clear architectural product roadmap and ensure stakeholder alignment throughout the delivery lifecycle.
• Lead cross-functional discussions between stakeholders, developers, and designers to validate feasibility and delivery scope.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• 8+ years of hands-on experience in software engineering, DevOps, data science, IT and/or other relevant engineering domains.

Experience with one or more of the following:
