This role will be responsible for (1) modernizing customer success through AI and data, (2) driving Enterprise-wide alignment and execution across a heterogeneous ecosystem of operating companies, and (3) integrating the technology platform, AI and data strategy and execution of Commercial and Services into a unified, high-performing function.

This position is part of the Danaher AI leadership team and reports to the Chief Technology & AI Officer, and will be located Remote.

Key responsibilities:

+ Develop and implement a cohesive and scalable strategy for Commercial and Service across Danaher with a Hub & Spoke approach, centralizing shared components and decentralizing specialized requirements at Groups and Operating Companies.

+ Own the technology platform for Commercial and Service operations and eCommerce technology across Danaher, including Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Content Management System (CMS), Product Information Management (PIM), Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and other key systems.

+ Manage Danaher's investments of talent, capital, and other resources to maximize the ROI of this initiative across Danaher. Build and refine KPI and ROI frameworks to forecast impact, track progress, and make data-driven decisions about strategy changes and project portfolio rebalancing – including the balance of incremental changes versus high-risk transformational bets.

+ Drive cross-functional collaboration to eliminate silos and foster a culture of shared success. Manage change and organizational adoption of data and technology towards long-term sustained success.

+ Work with peers in the AI function and beyond in a highly collaborative way to share technology, learnings, and data across adjacent areas and leverage synergies.

+ Advanced degree in a relevant area (e.g. Computer Science, Physics, Applied Math, Machine Learning, Biological Sciences) or background in Strategy, Economics, Commercial operations etc. and demonstrated experience successfully applying this in the high-tech/digital domain.

+ 15+ years of experience in technology-driven service and commercial operations, business process optimization, and similar areas.

+ Outstanding technical understanding of machine learning, AI, generative AI, and proven ability to bring those technologies to business impact.

+ Experience driving business transformation and organizational change through data and technology.

+ Outstanding communication and negotiation ability, including to influence and align multiple stakeholders.

+ Strong executive presence, and excellent ability to communicate horizontally across disciplines and vertically both with technical individual contributors as well as Executives, ability to reduce ambiguity effectively and arrive at high clarity on product goals and project roadmaps with stakeholder alignment.
