Role Description

Avetta is seeking a Manager, Global Readiness to own the Global Readiness function and lead the team responsible for end-to-end preparedness for global launches and ongoing operations across markets. This role drives cross-functional planning, governance, and performance measurement across readiness domains including:

• Data storage and residency
• Platform and tooling readiness
• Billing and invoicing
• Content development and deployment
• Supplier engagement
• QA and support readiness

This is a senior leadership role responsible for ensuring the global experience is planned, sequenced, tracked, and continuously improved, and that launch timelines reflect a fully localized and compliant experience—not English-first delivery assumptions.

Reporting to the Sr. Director, Localization and Global Readiness, this role works across geographies and functions and provides executive-level visibility into readiness risks, trade-offs, and outcomes while building scalable operating models to support global growth.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, International Studies, Localization, Operations, or equivalent experience
• 10 years of experience supporting global product launches, international expansion, or large-scale cross-functional programs in SaaS or technology-driven environments
• 5 years of people management experience, including leading and developing high-performing teams across functions and/or geographies
• Demonstrated ability to lead across regions, functions, and cultures using influence rather than direct authority
• Strong understanding of localization and internationalization, regulatory/compliance considerations, and global SaaS operational readiness (including billing, tax, support, and data residency impacts)
• Proven experience defining operating models, SOPs, governance routines, and success metrics in complex environments
• Excellent communication, analytical, and stakeholder-management skills, including executive-level reporting and escalation management
• Experience building dashboards and using outcome metrics to drive prioritization, tradeoffs, and continuous improvement is preferred

Requirements

• Own and evolve the Global Readiness operating model, including readiness criteria, stage gates, sequencing, and success metrics across the end-to-end customer experience (sales through onboarding and ongoing operations)
• Lead and develop a Global Readiness team, including hiring, coaching, performance management, and setting execution standards for program delivery
• Establish and maintain cross-functional readiness SOPs and governance across data residency/storage, tools and platform readiness, billing/invoicing, content development and deployment, supplier engagement, QA, and support readiness
• Partner with Product, Legal, Billing, Tax, Compliance, Localization, Support, Sales, and Client teams to ensure global requirements are identified early and incorporated into roadmap and launch planning
• Ensure global launch plans and timelines account for full localization and compliance requirements, including regional readiness dependencies and operational constraints
• Provide executive-level visibility into global readiness risks, trends, trade-offs, and performance through dashboards, KPIs, and outcome reporting
• Identify systemic patterns across clients, products, and regions; drive prioritization and preparedness based on business impact and launch criticality
• Lead readiness planning and execution for strategic launches and high-complexity expansions; engage directly in escalations where global risk warrants senior involvement
• Establish and run readiness governance routines (e.g., launch readiness reviews, risk forums, decision logs, retrospectives), ensuring timely decisions and accountability across stakeholders
• Drive continuous improvement across the readiness lifecycle by standardizing playbooks, reducing cycle time, improving predictability, and increasing reuse of readiness artifacts
• Represent Global Readiness in executive planning, GTM discussions, and strategic client engagements, ensuring global considerations are reflected in business decisions
• Ensure QA and support readiness are integrated into launch planning, including validation processes, enablement needs, and operational handoffs

Benefits

• Salary range: $140,000 - $154,000 per year, with a potential bonus
• Comprehensive benefits package, which includes health, dental and vision insurance
• 401(k)
• PTO
