Your role:

You will lead cloud platform capabilities for Global Web Services, with a primary focus on Azure-based identity (Azure B2C) and a small portfolio of supporting cloud services (eg a global redirect hub and website health services). You will own their evolution, reliability and governance, and proactively drive improvements that increase security, automation and operational efficiency.

Own the roadmap, operation and governance for CIAM (Azure B2C) and a defined set of cloud platform services that support Global Web Services (e.g., redirect hub, site health checks, …).

Develop and implement secure, scalable identity solutions (authentication, federation, SSO, OAuth/OIDC, SCIM) and ensure smooth integrations with product teams.

Drive continuous improvement: identify opportunities, build business cases, implement automation (IaC, CI/CD), observability and resilience, and promote adoption across teams.

Lead incident response and post‑incident reviews for the platform and owned services; coordinate remediation and communicate clear action plans to stakeholders.

Provide concise governance and reporting: SLAs, health metrics, risk updates and roadmap status to product and IT leadership.

Who you are:

Proven cloud/platform lead with strong hands‑on experience in Azure, especially Azure B2C / enterprise CIAM; familiarity with other cloud providers (AWS) is beneficial.

Practical experience operating cloud services and owning their technical roadmap and reliability.

Self‑starter who independently drives improvements and initiatives end‑to‑end, from proposal to delivery and adoption.

Strong stakeholder management and communication, able to translate technical risk and value to product owners and upper management.

Fluent in English, outcomes‑focused and comfortable working in a product‑aligned environment.

How we calculate "similar"

No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.

Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.

Unmatched or unknown dimensions score exactly the same: 0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
