CAREERS THAT CHANGE LIVES

A Business Relationship Manager (BRM) is a senior-level, strategic IT partner who shares ownership of both business strategy and business value results. The BRM owns executive-level relationships and serves as a single point of focus, working to converge Information Technology in support, specifically, of our Global Finance Function. 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 BRM contributes to the business partner leadership team by actively partnering with business peers to determine strategic direction. They work to identify ways in which the BRMs function can support and advance business objectives.

Additionally, the BRM shapes 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. The BRM is accountable, both strategically and tactically, for all IT services and delivery to their stakeholder community.
