TL;DR · AVP, Digital Workplace Engineering

AVP, Digital Workplace Engineering joins the End User Services team to lead the design, engineering, and reliability of collaboration platforms and the digital workspace. This leader will re-engineer how these environments are built and operated by transitioning from manual, reactive services to an AI-first engineering model. Key responsibilities include operationalizing Reliability Engineering through SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets, while driving automation-first remediation and end-to-end observability. The role requires managing the organization through OKRs to improve digital employee experience. Candidates must possess deep expertise in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, including Teams, Intune, and Windows 365. Technical skills include Terraform, Ansible, PowerShell, Python, and observability platforms like Nexthink, Dynatrace, or Splunk. The position solves the challenge of transforming legacy operations into scalable, engineering-led product management.

What you'll do

  • Set the engineering and reliability strategy for collaboration and digital workspace platforms.
  • Translate the AI-first engineering strategy into a multi-year technical roadmap.
  • Establish and own the organization's OKRs to measure availability, performance, and employee experience.
  • Operationalize Reliability Engineering models including SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, and blameless postmortems.
  • Drive an AI-first culture by embedding agentic automation and AI-assisted engineering into the SDLC.
  • Build end-to-end observability and telemetry to proactively detect and resolve platform issues.
  • Manage collaboration and workspace platforms as products with defined roadmaps and adoption metrics.
  • Lead and modernize a team of engineering directors to increase technical depth and reliability ownership.

What we're looking for

  • 12+ years in technology engineering and operations.
  • 5+ years leading multi-team engineering organizations, including managing managers or directors.
  • Proven record driving AI-first or AI-assisted engineering transformations at scale.
  • Track record of building or transforming a reliability engineering practice using SLOs and incident management.
  • Deep engineering background in collaboration and digital workspace platforms like Microsoft 365, Teams, and virtual desktops.
  • Experience leading through OKRs and outcome-based goal setting.
  • Experience shifting organizations from operations-led to engineering-led delivery in regulated industries.
