At Kraken, we're powering the most innovative energy and utility businesses globally. Our technology enables smarter grids, optimised generation and exceptional customer experience.
But technology alone does not transform a business.
Clients choose Kraken to improve customer experience, reduce cost to serve and increase their ability to innovate and grow. To achieve this, they must evolve how they are structured, how they make decisions, how product and operations align, and how data flows through the organisatio.
Kraken’s unified technology and data platform enable transformation. The Operating Model Practice ensures clients are structurally built to win with it.
As Kraken expands across energy, water, telco and beyond, we need a clear, global standard for how modern, interconnected utilities should run.
About the Role
As Kraken’s Global Practice Lead for Operating Model, you will build and lead a global delivery practice that owns and evolves Kraken’s enterprise Operating Model blueprint.
