Description

　　The Digital Transformation Director is responsible for leading a diverse team in the successful delivery of digital transformation initiatives. This is a significant leadership opportunity that will be a critical role within the newly formed Enterprise Transformation Office (EXO). The mission of the EXO is to identify and implement strategies that empower the entire enterprise to perpetually scale, innovate and thrive as “One Burns & Mac” in our next 125 years. Initially reporting to the C-Suite, and then the EXO as it becomes more established, this is a permanent position with responsibilities that evolve as projects change.

　　The first digital transformation to be led by the Director is a multi-year, $150M initiative known as Blue Horizon. This role will lead the successful replacement of our existing ERP and adjacent solutions with a comprehensive, end-to-end, enterprise management solution that is potentially inclusive of composable ERP (enterprise resource planning), CRM (customer resource management), BMS (business management system) and other technologies. The transformation will result in a simplified application landscape with modernized business processes. While depth of scope continues to be refined, the breadth will be enterprise-wide benefiting more than 15,000 people, 80 offices on three continents, and 10 global practices that each have numerous business lines.

　　The Director should have experience delivering similar transformation programs and should be able to anticipate, plan and shape resources and deployment plans that maximize quality, remove risk, and achieve scope, schedule and cost targets through agile techniques, an ownership mindset and exceptional people engagement.

　　Co-Define data readiness and MDM (master data management) approach working alongside IT Engineering.
