The role will support SVP EM BU in defining and articulating effective resource management across the organization, across each of the EM BU markets, design of internal and external insights framework and in creating visibility through a structured risk framework.


The role will lead BU internal and external cross-functional teams (comprising of internal or external resources) to assess optimal process and organizational design, and make recommendations around the structure, operating set-up and ultimate end state.

In addition, the team will lead capability building throughout the organization through 4 structured modules built around (1) Change management (2) Problem Solving (3) Critical Thinking and (4) Storytelling

The intent is to leverage best practices across the BU. The organization is being built around having linkages with functions and countries / regions.
