Chief Operating Officer US (m/f/d)

The role in one line

The operating leader who turns Natuvion’s international growth — the US first, then Japan and potentially Brazil — into scalable, repeatable delivery, orchestrated across a global delivery network, with a seat on the global leadership board.

Why this role exists

Natuvion is the global leader in SAP data and business transformation, now part of NTT DATA. Growth is going international, and delivery has to scale with it. Priority one is the US market; close behind are Japan and potentially Brazil, alongside selective acquisitions (e.g. South Africa). We are building a professional, scalable delivery engine outside DACH — orchestrated across a distributed international network (US, India, Slovakia, Hungary, Malaysia, South Africa) — and deploying our own software, Natuvion’s transformation platform, with forward-deployed engineering muscle at the customer.

We are hiring a Chief Operating Officer, International to own that build, take a seat on the global leadership board, and partner closely with the US and DACH leadership to make the international story real.

Reporting to: Patric Dahse (Group CEO).

What you will own — the key deliverables

• Build and lead scalable and high-performing delivery. Ramp up and manage a professional, scalable project delivery across the US and international markets outside Europe — the operating model, delivery methodology and standards, staffing and partner mix, quality and margin. Turn project successes into a standardized, repeatable, and scalable delivery model.

• Orchestrate US projects and programs. Land complex programs across a distributed onshore, nearshore and offshore delivery network — e.g. the US, India, Slovakia, Hungary, Malaysia and South Africa — on time, on quality and on margin.

• Deploy Natuvion’s software with forward-deployed engineering. Own the deployment of Natuvion’s software at customers, standing up a forward-deployed engineering capability that gets the platform into production and proves value inside live customer projects.

Integrate into the board and drive alignment. Take your seat on the global leadership board and drive strategic and operational alignment with the COO Europe region, the US leadership, and Group CEO Patric Dahse — so US and Europe grow synergistically as one company. The broader mandate:

• Own the operational build-up and scaling of delivery in the US market with priority, including ramp-up and leadership of local delivery team and sequence entry into Japan and, potentially, Brazil.

• Build and steer the SI / partner channel to extend delivery capacity and market reach.

• Help identify and integrate selective acquisitions (e.g. South Africa) into the international delivery organization.

• Build the international leadership bench: recruit and develop country and delivery leaders.

• Leverage the NTT DATA group wherever it accelerates market access, talent, and delivery.
