Job description

In this role as IT Operations & Enablement Lead, you will own the operational process of the IT Business Systems team including training, governance, planning, reporting, and budgeting - as a single accountable leader. Each day, you will analyze user support data to sharpen our IT systems delivery across five business areas.

This is a role for a builder-operator, not a coordinator. You will own six interconnected functions that define how the IT Business Systems team runs, how the business perceives it, and how effectively it serves its users. This is a high-visibility role with direct impact on continued investment in the team.

You will be mainly accountable for:

  • Business reviews: Monthly packages for five business areas across two user groups. A decision forum, not a status dump.
  • Budget: Owns and reconciles the team budget monthly. Contractor forecasting is the hard part.
  • Intake governance: Runs the APT process. Can tell a director their request is not first this month and keep the relationship.
  • End user training: Reads ticket data, builds what is needed, and knows when training is not the answer.
  • Internal team enablement: Develops our own people across ECC, S/4HANA, Vistex, Vertex and TMS.
  • Provide operational support to the team’s leader.
  • AI knowledge platform

Requirements

  • Bachelor degree in computer science engineering or related field (MBA/masters degree preferred)
  • Minimum 10 years of experience in enterprise business systems - SAP ECC and/or S/4HANA preferred, with exposure to Vistex, Vertex, SAP TMS, or comparable platforms.
  • Substantial experience (5+ years) running operational governance in a matrixed environment - intake processes, business reviews, prioritization frameworks - across multiple business areas simultaneously.
  • You have managed or co-managed a team or project budget - comfortable with variance analysis, forecasting, and presenting financial narratives to leadership.
  • Demonstrated track record of designing and delivering training programs in a business systems or enterprise IT context - not coordinating someone else’s curriculum, but building your own and measuring whether it worked.
  • Skilled in AI-powered platform delivery - you have built or significantly contributed to building a knowledge platform, self-service tool, or intelligent search system using RAG, knowledge graphs, or similar architectures.
  • Passionate about transparency and intellectual honesty
  • Travel requirement less than 20%
  • Candidates must already have work authorization that would permit them to work for ABB in the US.

Benefits & conditions

  • Choice between two medical plan options: A PPO plan called the Copay Plan OR a High Deductible Health Plan (with a Health Savings Account) called the High Deductible Plan.
  • Choice between two dental plan options: Core and Core Plus
  • Vision benefit
  • Company paid life insurance (2X base pay)
  • Company paid AD&D (1X base pay)
  • Voluntary life and AD&D - 100% employee paid up to maximums
  • Short Term Disability - up to 26 weeks - Company paid
  • Long Term Disability - 60% of pay - Company paid. Ability to “buy-up” to 66 2/3% of pay.
