Cloud & Infrastructure Manage cloud operations with both leadership direction and hands-on involvement (Azure, AWS), ensuring resilient infrastructure, identity/SSO integration, and secure connectivity across systems. Direct platform modernization efforts, including environment configuration, networking, cost optimization, scalability planning, and disaster recovery. AI, Automation & Process Improvement Identify and deploy AI-enabled solutions that streamline operational tasks, improve data quality, and enhance system performance. Expand the use of automation tools (Power Automate, scripting, AI-assisted workflow orchestration) to simplify integrations and reduce error rates. Establish monitoring, alerting, and automated remediation processes for data pipelines and internal systems. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Governance Collaborate with Finance, Marketing, Member Services, Supplier Relations, and Technology teams to translate business requirements into stable and scalable operational systems. Work closely with Engineering teams to ensure seamless connectivity between applications and consistent data flows.
