About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Leading and developing two engineering teams — Cloud Platform (cloud infrastructure, observability, SRE, incident response) and Enterprise Services (IT support, IAM, Okta, Slack and core SaaS) — setting technical direction, hiring and performance standards across both.
- Delivering the reliability, performance and cost-efficiency of the cloud platform underpinning production services, including SLOs, on-call and incident response practices, and post-incident learning, in line with the broader infrastructure strategy.
- Executing the roadmap for enterprise services and identity, treating internal IT as an engineering discipline — automation-first, self-service where possible, and measured on employee productivity and security outcomes.
- Tracking and reporting meaningful operational metrics — availability, MTTR, change failure rate, identity hygiene, endpoint and SaaS posture, support responsiveness — and using them to drive continuous improvement within the function.
- Acting as a senior operational escalation point for major incidents across both production and corporate environments, leading technical response and keeping the VP and wider stakeholders informed.
Requirements
What you’ll need- A track record of leading engineering teams at scale (managers of managers experience preferred)
