About the role

Empowering the world starts with living our values and empowering our team. As a quickly growing company focused on helping people live healthier and happier lives, we ensure that our team members have what they need to do their best work — both in and out of the office.

What they're looking for

  • Own the strategic layer for IT — value-based planning, prioritization, and governance — while architecture, delivery, data platforms, cloud infrastructure, and AI enablement stay with the teams that already own them
  • Manage a contractor bridge of two resources (Portfolio Manager, Analyst) through build-out, then hire, lead, and develop a target-state team of 2–3 FTEs (Analyst, Portfolio Manager, Strategist)
  • Build IT's strategic planning system: the annual planning cycle, the multi-year technology plan, and the business cases and investment narratives that justify what gets funded and in what order
  • Stand up a shared, visible prioritization and governance model for what IT works on and why, so decisions aren't made informally or re-litigated team by team
  • Own procurement, contract, and renewal management, building a renewal calendar, negotiation packets, and an application inventory with a named service owner per app
  • Own contractor and SOW administration and workforce operations — requisition tracking and onboarding readiness across multiple countries

You'll start as the sole builder, then manage and grow a small team — beginning with a contractor bridge — as the work proves it out.
