Smith & Nephew

Business Relationship Lead - Analytics CoE (Alajuela, Costa Rica)

FULL TIME

September 4, 2024

Life Unlimited. At Smith+Nephew we design and manufacture technology that takes the limits off living.

The business relationship Lead (BRL) has shared ownership with the Functional Delivery Lead for both business strategy and business value results. The BRL helps the Business Relationship Manager (BRM) manage stakeholder relationships and serves as a single point of focus, working to converge functions such as IT, HR, finance, GBS, quality, etc. and one or more lines of business or value streams. This is achieved by stimulating, surfacing, and shaping demand for capabilities and assets, in addition to ensuring that the potential business value from those capabilities and assets are captured, optimized, and recognized.

Through effective relationship management capabilities, the BRL fills in for the BRM and contributes to the business leadership team by actively partnering with business peers to determine strategic direction. They work to identify ways in which the BRL’s function can support and advance business objectives.

Additionally, the BRL helps shape business demand into supply by 1) partnering with appropriate resources to facilitate the creation of idea documents, business cases, and value plans; 2) ensuring value optimization and communication; and 3) enabling continuous improvement in all areas and people around them.

Onboard new leaders, by showing them how we work, what analytics are available, and helping them gain access to and understanding of the analytics. Develop mutual trust by meeting regularly with functional leadership to ensure needs are being met, provide updates on current work, and capture/log future demand.
Analytics Community Engagement and Governance - Actively engage, contribute, and be the go-to analytics community leader for your vertical. Stay active in the community to ensure that what individuals in the community are developing compliments, rather than overlaps with other efforts across the business. Train and help ensure that data sources being used are approved and being used correctly to keep alignment across all analytics.
Business Architecture & Platforms - Shape demand from the business to fit into the framework developed by the Analytics Steering Co and work cross functionally with business analysts, engineers, and the IT data team to develop new and improve existing dashboards and technology using the tools available.
