The Director of GBS Business Relationship Management - Industrial Automation and Process Automation is a critical leadership role that will support the stand-up and effective functioning of the organization and will report to Michael Herberich, Sr. Director of GBS Finance - Business Relationship Management.

You own customer feedback management and translate insights into tangible improvements in efficiency and service quality. You drive change management and communication strategies, maintain key customer-facing content, and ensure robust document control for customer-related materials and framework documentation. You facilitate joint SBG-GBS annual planning and forecasting cycles, contribute to strategic planning, establish roadmaps, and lead prioritization of new projects, enhancements, and issue resolutions. Through helpdesk analytics you identify and drive continuous process improvement. You engage with upstream functions (e.g., HR services, payroll, indirect sourcing/procurement, fleet) to resolve day-to-day issues, prevent recurrence, and strengthen overall business vitality and performance.
