Join the team and create the future of customer experience together. Overview Genesys is seeking an execution-focused transformation leader to join our Business Transformation Team. As Senior Director, Strategy & Operations, you will be the operational driver behind our most critical enterprise transformations - including Lead-to-Cash modernization and our AI-first initiatives. This role is hands-on and outcome-driven: you will lead cross-functional execution, resolve operational blockers, coordinate stakeholders, and ensure transformation programs deliver measurable, sustainable business value. You'll balance strategic alignment with the day-to-day realities of delivering complex change at scale. In addition to leading programs, you will directly manage and develop a high-performing team, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Key Responsibilities Operational Leadership for Enterprise Transformation Lead the execution of high-impact enterprise transformation initiatives, ensuring strategic priorities are translated into measurable business results. Serve as the "go-to" problem solver, tackling operational bottlenecks, aligning teams, and enabling faster, more effective execution. Apply a pragmatic, hands-on approach - bringing structure where needed but prioritizing forward progress over process for process' sake. Provide day-to-day leadership, guidance, and direction to your direct reports, ensuring they are empowered, supported, and aligned with transformation objectives. Driving Current & Future Transformations Partner with business and functional leaders to deliver current transformation priorities - including Lead-to-Cash modernization and AI-first transformation - while prioritizing and preparing for future enterprise-wide transformation efforts. Quickly adapt to new transformation domains as business priorities evolve, ensuring a consistent, value-driven execution approach across initiatives. Coach, mentor, and grow the skills of your team members so they can take on increasing levels of ownership and responsibility in future transformation efforts. Value Realization & Impact Delivery Define and track value drivers for each transformation, ensuring that business impact is quantified, reported, and delivered. Maintain visibility for executives into progress, outcomes, and realized benefits - focusing on impact over activity. Cross-Functional Stakeholder Alignment Build trust and alignment with senior leaders and cross-functional teams, ensuring clarity on objectives, decision-making, and execution priorities. Influence without authority by combining business acumen, operational insight, and a results-oriented mindset. Tactical Problem Solving Step into execution challenges directly, diagnosing issues and driving solutions that unlock progress. Establish repeatable mechanisms for overcoming common transformation barriers, ensuring future initiatives move faster. Qualifications Experience: 10+ years in business operations, transformation, consulting or strategy & operational leadership, ideally in SaaS or technology-driven enterprises. Transformation Expertise: Experience delivering enterprise change efforts such as process redesign, technology adoption, operating model shifts, or GTM transformation. Familiarity with SaaS metrics. AI Transformation: Experience in accelerating AI adoption, execution of transformation focused on strategy & value delivery, working with key technical & functional leaders on resource prioritization, technical enablement, governance, and change management. Execution Mindset: Proven ability to lead large-scale business change through practical problem solving and cross-functional leadership - not just program tracking. Analytical Strength: Strong financial and operational analysis skills, with the ability to link execution activity directly to business outcomes. Stakeholder Management: Demonstrated success influencing and aligning senior leadership in complex, global organizations. Leadership: Track record of leading and developing high-performing teams in dynamic environments. Preferred Attributes MBA or equivalent advanced degree in operations, strategy, or finance.
