Veeam, the #1 global market leader in data protection and ransomware recovery, is on a mission to empower every organization to not just bounce back from a data outage or loss but bounce forward.

With Veeam, organizations achieve radical resilience through data security, data recovery, and data freedom for their hybrid cloud.

The Veeam Data Cloud team is looking for a Program Manager with expertise in the SRE domain. As part of our Site Reliability Engineering team you will help coordinate and track the work of the SRE team and improve our Incident Management processes.

The ideal candidate should have a passion for coordinating and tracking work across teams, using just enough process to keep the team sane, and a knack for influencing others.

• Collaborate with leaders and teams across SRE, Engineering, Support, and Product to organize, plan, and execute projects from inception to post-launch analysis
• Utilize just enough process to create visibility into progress, risks, and milestones for all stakeholders without overwhelming the team
• Proactively identify potential roadblocks and keep projects on track
• Act as the key point of contact between SRE and other teams, to ensure alignment, resolve dependencies, and drive products to completion
• Drive improvements in incident management process, identifying areas for automation, process refinement, and faster resolution times
• Act as an Incident Leader for large-running incidents
• Provide training and mentoring to empower the team in incident management best practices
• Oversee post-incident reviews, ensuring root cause analysis is conducted and corrective actions are tracked to completion
• Define and track key incident metrics (MTTR, incident recurrence, etc.) to drive accountability and operational improvements
• Use a data-driven mindset into all aspects of status reporting, and clearly and proactively communicate, across all levels of the organization, status as well as risks and mitigation plans

What we expect from you:

• 4-5 years managing operations focused projects in a SaaS environment
• 5+ years of experience in a program or project management role managing complex, technical projects
• Experience implementing and coordinating Incident Management processes
• B.S. degree in Business Management, Information Systems, Engineering, Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent experience) is highly desired
• Comfortable working with loosely defined, custom agile/scrum/kanban processes and driving process improvements
• Strong sense of ownership and desire to be successful
• Ability to drive programs working with highly effective people on cutting-edge technology
• Ability to lead cross-functional, globally dispersed teams and influence stakeholders without direct authority
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with demonstrated ability to influence teams and to communicate succinctly

Will be an advantage:

• Experience managing work and reporting with JIRA
• Software Development or Product Management experience
• Experience working with SaaS or data protection products
• Experience using incident management tool like Incident.io or Rootly.com
