What You'll Do

The Platform Enablement Lead (Director) plays a critical role in ensuring the platform operates with clarity, discipline, and impact. This role is accountable for establishing a strong operating rhythm, enabling high-quality decision making, and ensuring execution against strategic priorities and OKRs. 

The role goes beyond coordination. It requires hands-on leadership through enablement, setting clear expectations, driving alignment across stakeholders, and holding teams accountable for outcomes. As the platform scales post-launch, this role is essential to moving from ad hoc execution to a predictable, scalable operating model. 

 

Operating Rhythm & Governance 

• Own and continuously improve the platform’s end-to-end operating cadence (e.g., WBR, planning cycles, reviews, ABRs). 
• Ensure governance forums are well-prepared, decision-focused, and outcome-driven. 
• Define and enforce clear standards for inputs, quality, ownership, and timelines. 
• Act as the single point of accountability for operational consistency and follow-through. 

Strategic Execution & Decision Support 

• Enable Delivery Owners (DOs) to translate priorities into clear, structured proposals. 
• Ensure all proposals include: 
• A clearly articulated problem statement 
• Strategic rationale and business value 
• Risks, dependencies, and trade-offs 
• Clear, measurable OKRs 
• Implications of inaction 
• Proactively surface misalignment, execution risk, and decision points. 
• Partner closely with strategy and transformation leads to track progress against OKRs and priorities. 

Stakeholder Alignment & Representation 

• Drive early and sustained alignment with key partner teams (e.g., ISRM, Architecture). 
• Ensure proposals reflect stakeholder buy-in before senior reviews. 
• Represent the platform in cross-functional forums with credibility and sound judgment. 
• Act as a trusted delegate for senior leadership where appropriate. 

Performance Management & Accountability 

• Reinforce clear accountability across DOs and workstreams. 
• Track delivery against commitments and outcomes, not just activity. 
• Ensure quality reviews and alignment occur before senior forums—not during them. 
• Support teams in meeting expectations while maintaining a high bar for quality. 

Reporting, Data Quality & Automation 

• Lead the shift toward high-quality, owner-driven, and automated reporting. 
• Reduce reliance on manual data collection and slide-based reporting. 
• Leverage tools (e.g., MS Planner) as systems of record, using WBR as a proof point for scalable reporting. 

Team Engagement & Health 

• Maintain a pulse on team engagement, inclusion, and workload. 
• Foster a culture of ownership, preparation, and continuous improvement. 
• Bring structure without bureaucracy and rigor without friction. 

YOU’RE GOOD AT:

• Proven ability to drive alignment without formal authority. 
• Track record of translating strategy into execution with measurable outcomes. 
• High judgment, strong ownership mindset, and comfort holding teams accountable. 
• Experience designing and running governance, operating models, and performance management processes. 

What You'll Bring

• 10-12+ years of relevant experience leading complex cross functional initiatives
• Strong strategic framing, executive communication, and facilitation skills. 
• Education: Bachelor's degree required and Masters degree preferred
• Global Experience: Demonstrated experience in a global role, managing stakeholders and recruitment across different regions (North America, Europe, APAC).
