AVP, Digital Workplace Engineering will join the End User Services team to lead the design, engineering, and reliability of collaboration platforms and digital workspaces. This role focuses on transitioning these environments from manual operations to an AI-first, automation-first engineering model. The successful candidate will re-engineer how systems like Teams, voice, conferencing, and endpoint management are built and measured using OKRs to ensure availability and performance become measurable outcomes. Key responsibilities include operationalizing Reliability Engineering practices such as SLOs, error budgets, and automated remediation while building end-to-end observability for the digital employee experience. The role requires expertise in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, including Intune, Windows 365, and Power Platform. Technical skills involve Terraform, Ansible, PowerShell, Python, and tools like Nexthink or Dynatrace to solve complex infrastructure challenges within a regulated insurance environment.

What you'll do

  • Drive the transition to AI-first engineering by embedding automated, agentic operations and AI-assisted standards into platform development.
  • Establish a multi-year roadmap for collaboration platforms and digital workspace technologies aligned with corporate AI goals.
  • Operationalize Reliability Engineering models including SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, and blameless postmortems across all systems.
  • Replace manual processes with automation-first engineering to eliminate toil and implement self-healing infrastructure.
  • Build comprehensive observability and telemetry to proactively detect issues before they impact the employee experience.
  • Manage collaboration and workspace platforms as products with defined roadmaps and measurable adoption metrics.
  • Lead and modernize a team of engineering directors by raising standards for technical depth and reliability ownership.
  • Define and report key results (OKRs) regarding availability, AI adoption, and digital employee experience to executive leadership.

What we're looking for

  • 12+ years of experience in technology engineering and operations.
  • 5+ years of experience leading multi-team engineering organizations, including managing managers or directors.
  • Proven track record driving AI-first or AI-assisted engineering transformations at scale.
  • Demonstrated experience 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.
  • Hands-on credibility with automation and observability tooling.
  • Experience leading through OKRs and outcome-based goal setting.
  • Authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship.
