About the Role

Lead and coach regional GA managers/leaders to deliver consistent, high-quality administrative services while adapting to regional business needs. Set clear expectations for service delivery, stakeholder management, and operational rigor; build a strong performance and talent pipeline across regions. Promote a collaborative global community and shared standards by enabling knowledge-sharing and common execution practices across regions.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and coach regional GA managers/leaders to deliver consistent, high-quality administrative services while adapting to regional business needs.
  • Set clear expectations for service delivery, stakeholder management, and operational rigor; build a strong performance and talent pipeline across regions.
  • Promote a collaborative global community and shared standards by enabling knowledge-sharing and common execution practices across regions.
  • Own the GA global process framework and drive adoption of globally standardized operating procedures and consistent ways of working.
  • Standardize and continuously improve the GA “processing cycle” and service workflows (e.g., calendar management, travel arrangements, expense management) to increase efficiency, quality, and predictability.
  • Establish and maintain global templates, documentation standards, and process ownership routines to ensure disciplined execution and audit readiness.
  • Define and enforce GA governance, controls, and compliance mechanisms, including core control points and operational controls across regions.
  • Ensure GA delivery aligns with enterprise standards for data quality, reliability, security, and validation where GA processes touch employee/executive data flows.
  • Own escalation pathways and issue management; reduce dependency on escalations through strong standard work, capability building, and process clarity.
  • Lead GA transformation initiatives to improve productivity, streamline workflows, and scale support without proportional cost growth.
  • Drive a “reimagined GA support model” with clearer role accountability, simplified workflows, and measurable improvements in responsiveness, workload balance, and operational consistency.
  • Build a continuous improvement engine: define KPIs/SLAs, analyze performance trends, and execute structured improvement plans based on stakeholder feedback.
  • Sponsor adoption of Copilot-enabled workflows and practical use cases for administrative work (e.g., drafting, summarizing, searching, planning), ensuring governance and secure usage practices are embedded.
  • Lead GA capability uplift through structured learning channels (e.g., learning site, monthly communications, targeted thematic enablement), focused on productivity tools, Copilot, and modern digital practices.
  • Partner with senior leaders and stakeholders to define service expectations and deliver a trusted executive support experience—balancing consistency with tailored regional needs.
  • Ensure GA teams operate as trusted advisors and extensions of leadership—protecting critical executive experiences such as onboarding, transitions, and daily operations.

Requirements

  • 5+ years leading operations, shared services, or administrative service delivery in a global/regional model.
  • Demonstrated experience leading leaders (regional managers), building scalable operating rhythms, and driving adoption of standard processes.
  • Strong process excellence background (SOP design, documentation discipline, continuous improvement).
  • Proven governance and controls capability; comfort operating in high-trust, high-confidentiality environments.
  • Strong executive presence and stakeholder management skills; ability to translate business needs into service outcomes.
  • Experience modernizing administrative/shared services via digitization, automation, and AI enablement.
  • Familiarity with travel & expense processes and tools; ability to standardize end-to-end workflows across regions.
  • Experience building learning communities and enablement programs for operational teams (e.g., “one stop shop” learning content, newsletters, ongoing refreshers).
