Domain Owner Connectivity & Operational Technology

Introduction of the job

In this role, you act as the end-to-end owner for the Connectivity & Operational Technology (OT) domain within the Hybrid Cloud & Connectivity value stream, managing the domain teams to deliver the roadmap and ensuring the triple constraint of quality, time, and cost is met. You will have 9 direct reports and will report into Head of Hybrid Cloud & Connectivity. 

Role and Responsibilities

• Road mapping & Planning: translates the value stream roadmap into domain plans; maintains the rolling six-quarter plan, including network modernization, OT integration, and Zero Trust implementation, driving measurable improvements in availability, latency, and security exposure reduction, and harmonizing fragmented OT deployments across sites into a standardized foundation enabling OT to be managed as any other IT asset.​
• Delivery Management & Governance: manages critical path, risks, and dependencies (RAID), ensuring delivery aligns with scope, time, and quality, ensuring measurable improvements in network availability, resilience, and secure connectivity performance, and driving disciplined, project-based execution to accelerate delivery timelines.​
• Stakeholder & Supplier Management: manages suppliers and stakeholders across IT, security, and manufacturing, including network and security vendors, driving measurable improvements in service quality, security compliance, and cost.​

• Cost-of-Ownership Accountability: owns the domain’s total cost of ownership, covering investment and operating expenditure, connectivity services, hardware, software subscriptions, supplier services, and lifecycle renewal. Maintains a transparent cost baseline and forecast, and delivers cost optimization while safeguarding availability, security, and manufacturing continuity.

• Team Performance & Coaching: evaluates performance and coaches teams to improve delivery and operations, driving measurable improvements in reliability, incident reduction, and response times.​
• People Leadership: leads domain teams, fostering engineering excellence in networking, security, and OT integration.
• Review and monitor delivery governance and the six-quarter plan, and replan scope and capacity as required.​
• Interact with the Head of Value Stream and stakeholders to drive cross-domain dependencies and decisions across network and OT environments, contributing to measurable improvements in availability, security posture, and connectivity performance, driving Zero Trust adoption (e.g., Zscaler) through accelerated, project-based execution, and defining a unified OT connectivity strategy to harmonize disparate deployments into a standardized, secure, and governed global model.​
• Operate in a dual interface with the Domain Architect to secure coherent delivery outcomes across global networks, OT environments, and secure connectivity platforms. 

Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in IT, engineering, telecommunications, cybersecurity, or related discipline, or equivalent relevant professional experience. A master’s degree and specific vendor certifications are desirable, not mandatory.​
• At least three years leading technical teams, with responsibility for people management, capacity planning, and supplier delivery.​
• Experience delivering connectivity services across multiple sites or countries, including industrial/OT environments where availability and controlled change are critical.​
• Hands-on experience in global environments with OT/industrial connectivity and supporting cross-border operations with proven ability to adapt to local regulatory environments and collaborate effectively across cultures and time zones.
• At least 10 years of relevant experience in enterprise networking, connectivity, or infrastructure services, including accountability for delivery and operational outcomes.
• Demonstrable experience delivering a significant network modernization, secure-connectivity, or OT standardization initiative, with measurable outcomes. Prior experience with a specific vendor, such as Zscaler, is desirable, not mandatory.

• OT / Industrial Transformation: proven experience harmonizing and securing OT environments across locations into a standardized, managed model.

• Experience managing domain budgets and total cost of ownership (TCO), including investment decisions, operating costs, supplier contracts, licensing, lifecycle replacement, and cost optimization without compromising resilience or security.
