Job Summary

The DevOps Manager owns DevOps practice, tooling, and release management across the entire Product Development department. This role is accountable for release and deployment success and works collaboratively with each product's DevOps Specialist and team lead to resolve issues. The role also owns operations and maintenance of the department's shared DevOps tooling, including source control and code quality platforms, and owns the enterprise On-Call/incident response program for SaaS applications.

DevOps Specialists embedded within individual product teams continue to report administratively to their Team Leads or Enterprise Directors; the DevOps Manager is their functional manager, setting technical direction and standards for the discipline org-wide, without holding direct people-management responsibility over them.

• Provide technical mentorship, coaching, and career guidance to DevOps Specialists across the organization
• Conduct technical reviews of DevOps Specialists' work as input to their performance reviews (in partnership with their direct managers)
• Identify practice or performance concerns and raise them with the DevOps Specialist's manager; work collaboratively with the engineer to implement the agreed resolution
• Participate in hiring processes for new DevOps Specialists across PD (technical evaluation/input)

On-Call Program Ownership

• Own the enterprise on-call/incident response program in its entirety, including tooling, escalation policies, and rotation structure
• Drive the phased rollout: runbook completion, tool launch, and progression to full 24x7 coverage
• Set and enforce runbook standards and completion requirements across product teams
• Own incident response process design, including severity definitions, escalation paths, and post-incident review process
• Coordinate with product/team leads to ensure adequate on-call staffing and rotation fairness

General

• Continually improve DevOps and release practices based on incident trends, release outcomes, and team feedback
• Report on release health, deployment frequency/failure rate, and on-call/incident metrics to the Chief Product Development Officer

• Demonstrated experience managing or leading release/deployment processes at scale, across more than one product line
• Experience administering enterprise DevOps tooling (e.g., GitLab, SonarQube, or equivalents)
• Experience designing or running an on-call/incident response program
