IT Service Manager - Device Lifecycle Management AMERICA

The Opportunity

Join Hitachi Energy to run regional Device Lifecycle Management (DLM) services that keep teams equipped and ready to deliver projects across the power value chain. You will manage forecasting, fulfilment, procurement, portfolio management, and hardware/IT asset management (ITAM), aligning regional operations with global standards and service levels. Day to day, you'll oversee DLM performance, act as the primary escalation point for issues, and coordinate with internal stakeholders and OEM/logistics partners to keep devices available, records accurate, and processes consistent. Your work helps maintain uptime, secure data, and streamline order-to-deployment cycles-foundational elements that enable engineering, field, and commercial teams to focus on grid reliability, modernization, and innovation. You'll guide a regional squad (controller and support specialists), shape continuous improvement with the DLM Center of Excellence and other regions, and communicate status, risks, and opportunities that enhance service effectiveness across complex, multi-country operations.
