The Team:

Enterprise Technology & Platforms delivers cross-enterprise technology products, services, and capabilities to S&P Global's organizations and employees worldwide. The Enterprise Developer Experience function will own and evolve the enterprise software development lifecycle toolchain, bringing together platforms, governance, support, productivity insights, and AI-native engineering capabilities. The team will operate as an enterprise hub, partnering closely with divisional CTO organizations and embedded practitioners to preserve business context while creating a consistent, scalable developer experience.


Responsibilities and Impact:

  • Set the enterprise Developer Experience strategy, product vision, roadmap, operating model, and investment priorities in partnership with the CIO leadership team, divisional CTOs, and other senior technology leaders.
  • Own the full lifecycle of enterprise software development platforms and tools, including source code management, code collaboration, CI/CD, build engineering, developer environments, code quality and scanning, cloud development infrastructure, and related integrations.

  • Build a trusted partnership model with divisional CTOs, executive sponsors, and embedded divisional practitioners to align enterprise standards with business-specific engineering requirements.
  • Lead the consolidation of fragmented tooling, resources, licenses, support processes, and automation, reducing duplication while managing transitions without disrupting engineering delivery.
  • Establish a scalable developer support and self-service ecosystem, including developer portals, knowledge management, onboarding, access and license management, AI-assisted triage, and expert escalation.
  • Own developer advocacy and community, including communities of practice, technical evangelism, onboarding and enablement content, change communications, and structured feedback loops that earn adoption rather than mandate it.
  • Own the InnerSource ecosystem, applying open-source working practice to proprietary code so that shared libraries, contribution standards, maintainer stewardship, and IP guardrails make reuse across divisions the default rather than the exception.
  • Define and govern the enterprise approach to AI-native and agentic software engineering, including approved tools, guardrails, model access, reusable workflows, platform integrations, experimentation, and responsible adoption.
  • Create an enterprise measurement system for developer productivity and experience, including DORA metrics, adoption and utilization measures, tool ROI, developer sentiment, friction mapping, and executive reporting.
  • Build and lead a high-performing global organization across platform engineering, product management, developer support, data and analytics, and forward-deployed AI engineering, with clear accountability and a strong talent strategy.
  • Maintain strong operational rigor, security, resilience, financial management, vendor governance, and continuous improvement across the enterprise toolchain.
