The Regional Leader, Critical Situations owns how Sapiens resolves high-severity customer escalations across their region, and works to stop them recurring by spotting risk trends early. You lead a team of CritSit Managers, represent the function with customer C-level executives and the Sapiens senior leadership team, and bring Delivery, Customer Success, Sales, Engineering and Product together when customer trust is most exposed.
The role carries commercial as well as operational accountability: you quantify the financial impact of critical situations and programme delays, and agree the commercial actions that follow. You work to the global CritSit framework and adapt it to your region's needs and regulatory context.
This is a Senior Manager or Director level role in Delivery Program Management, reporting to the Senior Vice President (SVP). Based at a regional hub, hybrid, with regular customer travel.
