Head of Enterprise Developer

About the Role

Grade Level (for internal use): 15 The Team:
Enterprise Technology & Platforms delivers cross-enterprise technology products, services, and capabilities to S&P Global's organizations and employees worldwide. The Enterprise Developer Experience function will own and evolve the enterprise software development lifecycle toolchain, bringing together platforms, governance, support, productivity insights, and AI-native engineering capabilities. The team will operate as an enterprise hub, partnering closely with divisional CTO organizations and embedded practitioners to preserve business context while creating a consistent, scalable developer experience.

• Set the enterprise Developer Experience strategy, product vision, roadmap, operating model, and investment priorities in partnership with the CIO leadership team, divisional CTOs, and other senior technology leaders.
• Own the full lifecycle of enterprise software development platforms and tools, including source code management, code collaboration, CI/CD, build engineering, developer environments, code quality and scanning, cloud development infrastructure, and related integrations.
• Manage the toolchain as a coherent portfolio of enterprise products, with clear customer outcomes, service levels, adoption goals, cost transparency, platform health measures, and accountable product ownership.
• Build a trusted partnership model with divisional CTOs, executive sponsors, and embedded divisional practitioners to align enterprise standards with business‑specific engineering requirements.
• Lead the consolidation of fragmented tooling, resources, licenses, support processes, and automation, reducing duplication while managing transitions without disrupting engineering delivery.
• Establish a scalable developer support and self‑service ecosystem, including developer portals, knowledge management, onboarding, access and license management, AI‑assisted triage, and expert escalation.
• Own developer advocacy and community, including communities of practice, technical evangelism, onboarding and enablement content, change communications, and structured feedback loops that earn adoption rather than mandate it.
• Own the Inner Source ecosystem, applying open‑source working practice to proprietary code so that shared libraries, contribution standards, maintainer stewardship, and IP guardrails make reuse across divisions the default rather than the exception.
• Define and govern the enterprise approach to AI‑native and agentic software engineering, including approved tools, guardrails, model access, reusable workflows, platform integrations, experimentation, and responsible adoption.
• Create an enterprise measurement system for developer productivity and experience, including DORA metrics, adoption and utilization measures, tool ROI, developer sentiment, friction mapping, and executive reporting.
• Build and lead a high‑performing global organization across platform engineering, product management, developer support, data and analytics, and forward‑deployed AI engineering, with clear accountability and a strong talent strategy.
• Maintain strong operational rigor, security, resilience, financial management, vendor governance, and continuous improvement across the enterprise toolchain.
