  • Coordinate across Infrastructure, Identity, Security, Network, Vendor Management, and US‑based teams to eliminate silos. 

  • Represent India user experience needs in global End User Services and ServiceNow forums. 

Metrics, Insights & Continuous Improvement 

  • Define and monitor experience‑focused KPIs including request cycle time, SLA attainment, backlog health, and employee satisfaction. 

  • Use ServiceNow data, trend analysis, and employee feedback to identify systemic issues and drive improvements. 

  • Present insights and recommendations to senior India and global IT leaders. 

People Leadership & Culture 

  • Build and develop leadership capability within teams supporting India employee services. 

  • Champion a customer‑first, outcome‑oriented culture, shifting focus from ticket closure to experience quality. 

  • Model strong communication, decisiveness, and accountability during high‑impact situations.
