- Act as the initial point of escalation for operational issues impacting stakeholders within the Data Platforms team.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to minimize role overlap, embed the team into service management platforms, and clarify roles and responsibilities.
- Influence Data Platforms priorities by engaging with product owners and leadership.
- Engage in relevant groups and committees to drive positive change within Elanco.
- Educate stakeholders about the team's operational services and define those services.
- Develop standard service offerings, improve service-related knowledge articles, and identify continuous improvement opportunities.
- Document pain points and design new processes to address constraints.
- Lead the execution of common IT processes across Data Platforms solutions and services.
- Represent the team in vendor governance meetings and ensure compliance with change management and ITSM processes.

**Additional Preferences**:

- Industry experience in Animal Health/Life Sciences and familiarity with regulated, ITIL-driven environments.
