US Digital Transformation Lead for Launches and Acquisitions

Job Title: Digital Transformation Lead for Launches and Acquisitions

• Location: Cambridge, MA or Morristown, NJ

About the Job

As Digital Transformation Lead, US Launches / M&As, you will be a key member of the Digital North America team, working transversally across brands and digital teams, in close collaboration with the Digital Leads, US Launches/M&A. You will frame the digital needs of new product launches and M&A digital integrations that are not covered by existing digital product line standards and, where the same gap appears on in-market brands, the emerging needs those brands surface and hand them over to the digital product lines for execution.

This is a framing role with technical depth. You own the end-to-end (E2E) framing complex, cross-product-line needs qualifying the business need, evaluating scenarios, shaping the solution concept with the product lines and articulating the collective value. Framing does not stop at the concept: where a scenario needs to be tested before product lines commit, it includes the discovery artefact that de-risks it a clickable demo, a data feasibility check, a technical spike disposable by design, as part of the brief; and it is complete only when the E2E need is decomposed into executable workstreams for each product line, with dependencies made explicit and capability needs sized, so that the Digital Leads and the product lines can execute without re-framing. From that brief, the Digital Leads take sequencing and tracking forward, and the product lines take delivery.

You also bring AI-assisted ways of working to framing and discovery needs qualified faster, scenarios tested earlier, briefs handed over sharper and share them with the Digital Leads and the product lines, shortening the path from business need to product-line commitment and increasing the value generated collectively.

The role takes the US commercial and digital strategy as an input from the North America Strategy & Governance and Commercial Strategy teams and translates it into a framing the product lines can execute. Its deliverable is a structured, end-to-end brief need, scenarios, recommended concept, product-line workstreams and dependencies that the product lines, Architecture and the Digital Commercial Accelerator take forward into solution design, architecture and delivery.

This role is intentionally designed to attract technical profiles moving into business-facing roles tech leads, data leads, senior engineers who bring the depth to engage product lines with authority and the vision to connect the dots across a complex digital ecosystem.

Main Responsibilities

Framing: Non-Standard Digital Needs for Launches & M&A:

• Identify digital needs not addressed by existing product line standards across new launches and M&A integrations, and on in-market brands where the same gap appears (e.g. AI-enabled use cases)

• Take the US commercial and digital strategy as an input from the Strategy & Governance and Commercial Strategy teams and translate it into the digital framing for launches and integrations

• Frame the end-to-end digital need and evaluate multiple scenarios experience, data and technical approach options, assessed with the product lines and core functions (CX, engineering, data, architecture, product…) before recommending an approach, qualifying value, feasibility and fit with existing standards

• Where a scenario needs to be tested before product lines commit, produce the discovery artefact that de-risks it a clickable demo, a data feasibility check, a technical spike disposable by design, part of the brief, and validate it with users, business stakeholders and the relevant product line

• Shape the solution concept with the product lines and hand over a clear, structured brief that the product lines, Architecture and the Accelerator take forward into solution design, architecture and build

• Stress-test proposed solutions with product line leads to confirm they answer the framed business need

Framing to Execution Readiness: Cross-Product-Line Decomposition:

• Decompose each E2E need into executable workstreams for the relevant product lines, as the closing part of the framing brief
