About the Role

As our Platform & Workplace Engineering Director, you'll be responsible for leading both our Cloud Platform and Enterprise Service orgs, setting technical direction, hiring, and performance standards. You will deliver the reliability, performance, and cost-efficiency of the cloud platform, execute the roadmap for enterprise services and identity, and track and report meaningful operational metrics to drive continuous improvement.

Responsibilities

Leading and developing two engineering teams — Cloud Platform (cloud infrastructure, observability, SRE, incident response) and Enterprise Services (IT support, IAM, Okta, Slack and core SaaS) — setting technical direction, hiring and performance standards across both.
Delivering the reliability, performance and cost-efficiency of the cloud platform underpinning production services, including SLOs, on-call and incident response practices, and post-incident learning, in line with the broader infrastructure strategy.
Executing the roadmap for enterprise services and identity, treating internal IT as an engineering discipline — automation-first, self-service where possible, and measured on employee productivity and security outcomes.
Tracking and reporting meaningful operational metrics — availability, MTTR, change failure rate, identity hygiene, endpoint and SaaS posture, support responsiveness — and using them to drive continuous improvement within the function.
Acting as a senior operational escalation point for major incidents across both production and corporate environments, leading technical response and keeping the VP and wider stakeholders informed.

Requirements

A track record of leading engineering teams at scale (managers of managers experience preferred)
Deep credibility in either cloud platform or modern enterprise engineering — and the breadth to lead both.
