Job Complexity
• Strategic & Tactical Planning: Current Help Desk services are fragmented across the globe. In some locations, services are provided by a third party; In other locations, services are provided locally by an internal team or even a single individual.
• Business Process Implementation: As we go forward with migration to a global Help Desk, one of the challenges that has arisen is capture and maintenance of IT asset information. This includes everything from data about key shared infrastructure components at the macro level to laptops and other personal devices at the individual user level.
• Technical Solution Implementation: Campbell Soup Company has recently invested in a new tool set for IT Incident, Problem and Change Management. This tool set also provides functionality in the areas of Asset Management and Service Request Management. Implementation of this tool set will provide a basis for establishment of standard global processes in each of the aforementioned functional areas. This role will develop and document the business case for implementing this new technology and sell it to the business process owners across the globe. This person will also oversee implementation of the new tool set, including technical infrastructure, configuration, database population, end-to-end testing and training for all resolver teams and end users globally. Incident, Problem and Change Management functionality and processes will be implemented with the current fiscal year. Asset Management functionality and processes will be implemented with the next twelve to eighteen months. Service Request Management functionality and processes will be implemented within the next twelve to twenty-four months. Within the next twelve to eighteen months, incident and problem management functionality will be integrated with the SAP Solution Manager.
• Operations - Help Desk and Security Provisioning are key services that affect every end user worldwide. Current estimates place the number of calls to the various Help Desks worldwide at approximately seven thousand (7000) calls per month. Requests for security access are included in these numbers. This person will work with the IT Manager - Help Desk, the IT Manager - Security Provisioning and the IT Shared Services delivery organization to ensure that calls are received and properly documented and that problems are addressed in a timely manner on a 24X7 basis. This person will ensure that the entire process is adequately controlled, including weekly and monthly meetings with key internal and external service providers to review delivery against established service level agreements and formulate plans for on-going service improvements.
• Human Resources Management - The concept of global client care is new to the Shared Services organization. This person will establish a cohesive team with shared responsibility for delivery of global Client Care. This involves developing and documenting overall long-range objectives as well as specific operational responsibilities for each team within their area of functional expertise. The goal is to establish a cohesive team while ensuring that operational and project deliverables are completed in a timely fashion.
• Financial - There is a new project requiring purchase of software, hardware and services. This role is responsible for preparing the Project Authorization documentation to include a cost breakdown by major categories (e.g., software, hardware, services, etc.), expense classification (i.e., expense or capital), financial justification (i.e., ROI), and any depreciation. Costs must be shown for current as well as future fiscal years. Dispursement of funds (i.e., department, cost center and expense account) must be specified for both expense and capital outlays. Upon completion of the documentation, the incumbent must review the project with the proper parties in the Fixed Assets and Controllers groups to ensure that accounting is correct and that potential expenditures are booked against the correct department, cost center and expense accounts. Once the project has been approved, this role is responsible for ensuring that the required Purchase Order Requisitions have been written and approved and that any associated legal contracts have been fully executed. Finally, this person must ensure that project expenditures are tracked for the life of the project. Very often, the budgeted funds will not be enough to cover the needed resources, so this person will also need to "negotiate" for additional funding or resources.
