In this role, you’ll establish intake governance, surface risks early, manage dependencies, and drive reliability programs including upgrades, migrations, disaster recovery, and cost optimization.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience managing technical projects, programs, or portfolios in software, cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, or a related environment.
• Demonstrated success leading complex, cross-functional initiatives from early planning through delivery and operational adoption.
• Understanding of software delivery and production operations, including infrastructure, cloud platforms, CI/CD, observability, incident management, change management, and reliability practices.
• Experience coordinating work across engineering teams with shared dependencies, constrained capacity, and competing priorities.
• Experience with Agile methodologies and tools, including Jira, Confluence, roadmap and portfolio management platforms, and similar delivery systems.
• Strong risk management skills, including the ability to identify hidden dependencies, schedule threats, operational risks, and decision gaps early.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tailor technical and delivery information for engineers, managers, executives, and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience building portfolio views, roadmaps, delivery plans, executive reports, operating cadences, and measurable outcome tracking.
• Ability to facilitate difficult prioritization and trade-off conversations while maintaining trust and alignment across teams.
• Technical fluency sufficient to understand architecture discussions, delivery constraints, operational risk, and engineering trade offs.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, paired with sound judgment about where process adds value.
• A bias for ownership, action, transparency, and continuous improvement.

Responsibilities

• Own an integrated portfolio view of SRE initiatives, including scope, milestones, owners, dependencies, risks, decisions, capacity constraints, and delivery status.
• Lead integrated planning across SRE stakeholders – Platform Engineering, Application Engineering, Product, Security, and Finance.
• Establish intake governance and readiness checks for SRE dependent work, ensuring initiatives involve SRE early enough to identify technical dependencies, operational risks, resource needs, and realistic timelines.
• Translate roadmaps and business priorities into executable delivery plans with clear outcomes, milestones, accountable owners, and decision points.
• Coordinate reliability programs such as infrastructure and kubernetes upgrades, production migrations, disaster recovery exercises, production readiness, maintenance windows, security and compliance work, automation, capacity planning, and cost optimization.
• Facilitate prioritization and capacity discussions when multiple teams have competing requests, using business impact, customer impact, risk, company goals, and available SRE bandwidth to guide trade offs.
• Maintain delivery rhythm through planning sessions, dependency reviews, risk and issue reviews, milestone tracking, and concise stakeholder updates.
• Prepare executive status reporting focused on business impact, delivery confidence, decisions required, risks, and escalations – not just activity reporting.
• Partner with SRE leadership to measure progress against reliability and operational excellence objectives.
• Act as a trusted facilitator and escalation point who helps teams resolve ambiguity, make decisions, and maintain forward momentum.
