Chief Operating Officer US (m/f/d)

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.

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.
