About the Role
This role sits at the center of how Centralized BI operates and delivers. It combines operating model ownership, portfolio management, and delivery oversight to ensure BI initiatives are aligned to business priorities and executed with discipline.
Based in Hyderabad, this role works across a globally distributed team, ensuring continuity in planning, clear visibility into demand, and a consistent delivery rhythm across time zones and functions.
This role partners closely with BI leadership to shape demand, drive prioritization, and ensure BI investments translate into measurable business outcomes. This role requires defining how the function operates, making trade-offs explicit, and maintaining a high standard of execution across teams.
This is not a traditional PMO or coordination role. The expectation is to shape how BI operates, drive prioritization, and deliver outcomes, not just track execution.
