The Director, Infrastructure and Cloud Platforms will support McCormick’s core business operations, enterprise applications, product teams, and modernization priorities. This role serves as the Product Leader for Infrastructure and Cloud Platforms and provides leadership across traditional data center infrastructure, cloud platforms, SAP Basis, database platforms, storage, backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning support.

This role provides clearer ownership, stronger leadership continuity, and better alignment with the company’s evolving technology operating model. As McCormick establishes new product teams and newly forms Enterprise Architecture and PMO capabilities, this role requires close partnership with U.S. based leadership, planning forums, architecture decisions, portfolio governance, and operational decision making.

As Product Leader, this role is accountable for defining and managing the product vision, roadmap, service capabilities, investment priorities, and lifecycle of the Infrastructure and Cloud Platforms product area. The role works closely with business stakeholders, product teams, Enterprise Architecture, PMO, Cybersecurity, Application Support, Digital Workplace, Finance, Sourcing, vendors, and managed service providers to ensure platform services are reliable, secure, scalable, cost effective, and aligned with enterprise priorities.

This role balances product leadership with operational accountability. It ensures infrastructure and cloud platform services are managed as an integrated global product portfolio, with clear service outcomes, measurable performance, defined standards, ongoing modernization, and strong operational resiliency. The Director also serves as a senior leadership partner within the broader Infrastructure and Operations function, providing leadership continuity, supporting executive and operational decision making, and helping mature the company’s product aligned technology operating model.
