• Performance Management & Executive Reporting - Defines and monitors enterprise Change Management KPIs, including change success rate, emergency change frequency, change-related incident volume, and SLA adherence. Provides executive dashboards and strategic insights to support informed governance decisions.
• ITSM Tooling & Workflow Governance - Provides oversight of ITSM platform configuration (e.g., ServiceNow or equivalent), ensuring automated approval routing, risk scoring, workflow integrity, reporting accuracy, and system integration across contractors and enterprise platforms.
• Stakeholder Communication & Organizational Influence - Leads structured enterprise change communications, including stakeholder notifications, outage advisories, and business readiness messaging.
