The teams are organized with direct-reporting lines into the respective business unit, with a second dotted-line reporting in a matrix into the global Service Operations function. Additionally, the global Service Operations function includes the CISO, CIO, Operational Excellence and Process & Tools teams.

A close collaboration between the local and the central functions are crucial to successful operations and successful transformation.
A Service Operations Transformation program is ongoing. The program's overarching objective is to improve efficiency in service delivery and speed up time-to-market while maintaining the already good service quality. The program is focusing on the following three areas: standardization of processes and platforms, automation & orchestration, and data-driven operations. All focus areas require a high degree of digitalization as well as change-management. As part of the Service Operations leadership team, you will report directly to the VP Service Operations.
