Descripción del empleo

At F5, we strive to bring a better digital world to life. Our teams empower organizations across the globe to create, secure, and run applications that enhance how we experience our evolving digital world. We are passionate about cybersecurity, from protecting consumers from fraud to enabling companies to focus on innovation.

Everything we do centers around people. That means we obsess over how to make the lives of our customers, and their customers, better. And it means we prioritize a diverse F5 community where each individual can thrive.

F5 is modernizing the technology foundation that every part of the company runs on. Sales, finance, legal, support and engineering all depend on services Technology Operations delivers.

1. As a Principal Technical Program Manager for TechOps Transformation, you'll lead a multi-year program that moves a large, aging hybrid estate onto one modern architecture and one operating model.

2. In this high-visibility role, you'll drive cross-functional programs across infrastructure modernization, cloud migration, application modernization, automation and AI-enabled operations. You'll work closely with leaders across Infrastructure, Cloud Operations, Enterprise Architecture, Security, Application teams and business units. The goal is to turn transformation strategy into measurable outcomes: lower risk, faster delivery and an estate that scales.

If you've led large-scale IT transformations, are comfortable with ambiguity, and can turn architecture vision into sequenced, funded execution, this role gives you the scope and mandate to make a lasting impact.

Key Responsibilities (Impact-Focused)

• Lead an enterprise IT transformation program. Own planning and execution across several parallel workstreams: platform/infrastructure, migration and applications, and operations transformation. Keep them aligned to one target architecture, budget and business strategy.
• Turn strategy and architecture into executable roadmaps. Work with enterprise architects and engineering leaders to convert target-state architecture, guiding principles and current-state gaps into phased roadmaps. Each roadmap should have clear dependencies, resourcing, milestones and success metrics.
• Drive infrastructure and data center modernization. Coordinate end-of-life hardware refreshes, hypervisor and virtualization platform transitions, storage and network modernization, and the decommissioning of legacy environments, all while keeping disruption to the business low.
• Run application migration and portfolio rationalization at scale. Stand up and run a wave-based migration factory. Facilitate portfolio triage with app and business owners using disposition frameworks such as the 6Rs and track progress through to retirement of legacy run costs.
• Embed automation, IaC and AI into the operating model. Partner with platform teams to drive self-service, infrastructure as code, CI/CD-driven change and AI-assisted operations. Make sure modernization changes how the estate is run, not just where it runs.
• Make sure resilience and security are built into the target state. Work with Security and Resilience teams so that Zero Trust, policy as code, HA/DR/backup and audit-evidence capture are designed into the platform, not added after delivery.
• Govern, measure and prove value. Set up program governance, steering committees, decision records and exception processes. Define baselines before work starts and report on outcomes such as tech-currency, vulnerability exposure, cycle time and operational efficiency.
• Align stakeholders and drive decisions. Prepare executive-ready updates and decision packages. Facilitate trade-offs on scope, sequencing and funding across Technology, Finance and business leadership, and manage onshore, offshore and third-party partner delivery.
• Lead organizational change and adoption. Drive adoption of new platforms, standards and ways of working through enablement, embedded engineering support and clear communication. Measure success by adoption, not just delivery.
