Function
Purpose
Ensure a safe, compliant and coordinated transition across overlapping program phases — owning everything that sits between the core build and a successful go-live.
Key Focus Areas (Unique to this role):
– S4/OMP–XTEL combined testing (V6 Jul ’26, V9 Sep ’26)
– SOX controls design for both versions
– Dahlia & cross-platform dependency management
– Incident management framework for V9
Project Description
The XTEL Transition & Platform Governance Lead is a critical program role responsible for ensuring a safe, compliant and well-coordinated transition across the XTEL upgrade programme and its intersecting platforms.
Operating at the heart of the V6-to-V9 migration, this role bridges business, technology and compliance workstreams — owning the coordination of complex, cross-functional dependencies that fall outside the core build scope but are essential to a successful go-live and long-term platform health.
The role sits within the XTEL Program team, reporting directly to the XTEL Program Manager.
It requires a combination of program rigor, technical literacy, business process understanding and stakeholder management capability across a highly complex multi-platform environment.
Requirements
– End-to-End Test Coordination: Lead the integration and execution of combined S4/OMP and XTEL testing (V6 July 2026 & V9 September 2026) across global MSU markets.
– Dependency & Dahlia Management: Manage sequence dependencies across S4, OMP, and XTEL, while owning the Dahlia workstream to protect downstream impact.
– SOX Compliance Design: Lead the design and implementation of audit-ready SOX controls for XTEL V6 and V9 in alignment with Finance and IT Audit.
– Stakeholder & Vendor Alignment: Act as the primary bridge between Business, IT, Data & Analytics, and external vendors (e.g., XTEL/NTT) to resolve cross-platform blockers.
– Incident Management Framework: Establish incident response protocols, escalation paths, and ownership models for XTEL V9 to ensure operational resilience through hypercare.
– Change Request Backlog Governance: Own, triage, and prioritize the project Change Request backlog in alignment with Design Board governance.
