About The Position

As a Manager, Digital Connectivity on the Digital Connectivity Director's team, you will be primarily responsible for providing hands-on expertise across Alcon's complete connected ecosystem — spanning equipment, software, integrations, and the broader technology and data landscape. This role owns complex connectivity and integration, problem-solving, maps the customer's ecosystem, and safeguards interoperability across the enterprise. Working hand in hand with the ACE team's Onboarding Specialist, the role maps each customer's ecosystem and supports the technical aspects of installations. It also manages the business aspects of release management — testing new functionality from the customer's perspective and providing the required approval before any new functionality or upgrade is accepted.
