As a Principal IT Business Partner, you will serve as the primary interface between domain stakeholders and IT, ensuring alignment between domain priorities, technology strategy, demand, and delivery outcomes. You will report directly to the Director, IT Transformation Management Office (TMO) & Business Partners.

In this role, you will serve as the strategic IT Business Partner for a Strategic Business Group (SBG), region, or functional domain, acting as the primary liaison between domain leadership and IT. You will help shape domain demand, align technology investments to strategic priorities, and ensure successful delivery of domain outcomes through effective governance, stakeholder engagement, and value realization.
