The Opportunity

Global Operations Support plays a key role in supporting operational excellence across the Clients & Industries (C&I) organization. This role focuses on enabling strategic priorities, optimizing processes, and facilitating collaboration across domains, functions, and pods to deliver agility and impact.

The C&I organization has six Domains, each with individual needs and differing maturity: Insights, Industry, Demand Generation, Client Excellence, Sales & Commercial Excellence, and Enablement & Technology.

This position sits within the Business Enablement – Business Management Office which supports the C&I organization through three key functions: Strategic Operations, Core Services, and Performance & Data Insights. Strategic Operations works through pods aligned to each of the six domains, working alongside Core Services and Performance & Data Insights to deliver seamless operational support and strategic execution.

Success in this model depends on agility — the ability to learn quickly, adapt as priorities change, and drive execution while staying responsive to evolving demands.

The primary stakeholder is the Domain Strategy Execution Leader, although this role will work with the rest of the Domain team. This position works directly with the Operations Senior Specialist or Operations Specialist.

• Operational Excellence
• Support consistent execution of operational processes by maintaining clear documentation, governance artifacts, and reporting.
• Proactively identify opportunities to streamline processes, improve efficiency, and enhance ways of working within the domain.
• Maintain and manage knowledge repositories, databases, SharePoint sites, and content libraries, including regular review and validation of materials.
• Share knowledge, insights, and updates with stakeholders using agreed communication channels.
• Support preparation of status reporting and dashboards, ensuring clarity in coordination with Performance & Data Insights where applicable.
• Assist the triage of requests for ad‑hoc analysis, reporting, and information, helping to embed new ways of working and reinforcing self‑service where possible.
• Stakeholder Engagement
• Develop strong working relationships across domains, functions, and pods, anticipating needs and supporting broader team objectives.
• Manage stakeholder communications and expectations, providing clear, timely updates on progress, risks, and next steps.
• Act as a trusted delivery partner to leadership by ensuring follow‑through on actions and high‑quality execution.

• Facilitate coordination across geographically dispersed teams to enable smooth execution and alignment.
