Senior Manager – Cloud Infrastructure and AI Operations

Who we are

At Heart & Stroke our mission is to promote health, save lives and enhance recovery. We are committed to a culture that exemplifies our core values: champion health, practice humility, embrace change, drive impact, learn and grow and be heartfelt as we work together to beat heart disease and stroke.

The opportunity

Lead Heart & Stroke’s Azure cloud and AIOps transformation: scaling secure, automated, and intelligent infrastructure for digital products, fundraising, and data-driven insights across Canada. This is a chance to build the cloud foundation that powers life‑saving innovation!

As Senior Manager, Cloud Infrastructure & AI Operations, you’ll lead a remote and growing team of cloud engineers and operations specialists. Your mandate: evolve our Azure platform into a fully automated, observable, and AI‑assisted environment: balancing innovation with reliability, cost efficiency, and compliance (PCI, PHIPA). You’ll shape standards, mentor technical talent, and bring a product mindset to how infrastructure supports our digital ecosystem.

Heart & Stroke is building the digital foundation for Canada’s most recognised health charity. You’ll lead at the intersection of technology modernisation and mission impact: scaling systems that directly enable fundraising, engagement, and health innovation. This role blends strategic architecture with hands‑on experienced engineering leadership.

We welcome applications to work remotely from anywhere in Canada, with the ability to travel to our Toronto office a few times a year.

How you will make an impact every day

• Set the vision for Azure infrastructure and automation
• Lead, coach, and grow a high‑performing cloud engineering team
• Implement Infrastructure‑as‑Code, CI/CD, observability, and AIOps tools
• Partner across Cybersecurity, Data, and Digital Product teams to ensure scalable, secure solutions
• Govern cloud spend, performance, and incident response
• Drive standardisation, documentation, and continuous improvement across the infrastructure lifecycle.

Who we need

• 10+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering and operations, including 5+ years in a formal people‑leadership role (managing technical teams, setting priorities, coaching, and performance management)
• Deep hands‑on cloud experience designing, implementing, and managing secure, performant and reliable Azure environments for digital and data products (front door, compute, networking, storage, automation, cost optimisation)
• Deep technical fluency in Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform, Bicep, ARM templates), CI/CD automation, and observability frameworks (Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights)
• Experience with AIOps or traditional holistic monitoring design and implementation
• Experience managing cloud governance, cost optimisation, and compliance programmes at scale (PCI, PHIPA)
• Track record of cross‑functional leadership, collaborating with cybersecurity, data, and product teams to align infrastructure with enterprise goals
• Strong communicator who balances technical depth with business clarity
• Bonus: Azure certifications (AZ‑305, AZ‑400) and exposure to ethical AI or data‑driven automation.

What we offer

At Heart & Stroke, we make it a priority to foster a culture of caring, high performance and flexibility by implementing practices and programmes that foster respect, compassion, trust and attentiveness to our own and others’ health and well‑being.

In addition to a competitive salary, we believe that time off is integral to the personal health and wellness of our employees. We offer a generous paid time‑off package including 20 vacation days, 10 personal days, 10 wellness days, and a paid company‑wide closure between December 25 and January 1.

We also provide competitive health, medical, dental and vision benefits, life insurance, disability benefits, an employee assistance programme (EAP) and a defined contribution pension plan with employer matching. Our employees also enjoy a flexible hybrid working model and reimbursement for mobile phones and home office setup, as well as opportunities for professional development.

We believe in equity, diversity and inclusion ― it’s embedded in our values and core mission work to support all people in Canada to lead healthier lives. We are committed to applying this principle to cultivate a welcoming environment that embraces diversity among our employees. Candidates from diverse backgrounds, including but not limited to, Indigenous peoples, racialised communities, 2S LGBTQIA+ communities, women, and people living with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
