We help the world work better and people work smarter and are looking for bright minds to make that happen. The makers, the forward thinkers, the problem solvers. That’s where you come in.

Driven by a competitive marketplace today, businesses offer complex product portfolios (hardware, software, services, acquired products, etc.) and critical business capabilities are required to deliver these products & services to the marketplace. This role is responsible for developing a blueprint for the way forward across the respective industries to provide a capability centric view across the company’s products and portfolios.
