About the Role:

The Head of Knowledge Governance, Standards, and Platforms owns the rules, standards, and platform guardrails that ensure the Customer-Support Global Content team delivers high-quality, compliant, and scalable knowledge across all channels. This role ensures that experience-led strategy is translated into enforceable standards and supported by the right platform capabilities.

This leader operates horizontally across personas, surfaces, and modalities, ensuring consistency and quality across both human- and AI-delivered experiences. While this role does not define experience strategy or information architecture, it is accountable for codifying those decisions into governance models, standards, and platform configurations that can operate at scale.

Own Knowledge Platforms & Enablement:

1. Own platform policies, configurations, and guardrails across knowledge tooling (e.g., CMS, KMS, AI-adjacent platforms)
2. Manage platform vendors and provide strategic input into platform roadmaps and investment decisions
3. Ensure platforms support approved knowledge models, taxonomy, and metadata schemas
4. Partner with Product, Engineering, and Operations to ensure platforms are scalable, reliable, and fit for purpose
5. Drive platform decisions that enable consistent quality, discoverability, and AI-readiness at scale

Govern Quality, Risk, and Execution at Scale

1. Define and oversee quality, consistency, and compliance mechanisms across all knowledge assets
2. Establish audit models, exception handling processes, and escalation paths
3. Identify governance risks and trends, surfacing insights and recommendations to leadership
4. Ensure governance decisions are operationally viable and consistently enforced
5. Build, lead, and scale a high-performing team of individual contributors through clear priorities, operating rhythms, and success metrics
