- Introduce agile support practices, structured governance forums, and continuous improvement mechanisms to strengthen service delivery effectiveness and responsiveness.

- Collaborate closely with business stakeholders, delivery teams, architecture teams, vendors, and leadership to ensure successful adoption, scale, and continuous evolution of the AMS product.

Required Skills :

- Strong experience in Application Management Services, enterprise application support, or managed services transformation.

- Deep understanding of AMS operating models, service delivery constructs, and ITIL-based processes.

- Experience in incident management, service request management, problem resolution, change coordination, and release planning.

- Strong exposure to observability and monitoring platforms such as Splunk, Datadog, Dynatrace, or AppDynamics.

- Strong capability in stakeholder management, executive communication, and cross-functional leadership.

- Proven ability to manage distributed or global support teams and drive service quality improvements.

- Strong analytical, problem-solving, governance, and performance management skills.

Preferred Qualifications :

- Exposure to ERP or large enterprise platforms such as Oracle, SAP, or other business-critical application ecosystems.

- ITIL, Agile, Scrum, or service management certifications.

- Experience in AIOps, predictive analytics, or intelligent operations transformation initiatives.
