This is an individual contributor role focused on managing demand and capacity at the application level with strong consideration for infrastructure layer as well.

• Contribute to audit readiness and governance by documenting capacity planning activities.

What you need to have to succeed in this role

• Strong experience in application-level demand and capacity planning within large, distributed environments.

• Analytical mindset with the ability to model service growth and translate data into actionable insights.

• Understanding of how enterprise applications consume infrastructure resources (CPU, memory, storage, DB).

• Experience with licensing and vendor models related to software consumption.

• Familiarity with workload automation or MFT tools such as Control-M, IBM SFG, or Connect:Direct is a nice to have.

• Strong stakeholder engagement skills across engineering, operations, and business domains.

• Ability to work independently, structure deliverables, and communicate clearly.

• Comfortable operating in a globally distributed team with cross-time zone collaboration.
