Manager, Cloud Network Operations

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on Cloud Operations Manager to lead a growing cloud governance and infrastructure function. This role owns the standards, security posture, and reliability of our Azure environment — while also managing and developing a team of engineers. You'll sit at the intersection of network design, cloud infrastructure, and Infrastructure-as-Code, making the secure and compliant path the easy path for engineering teams across the business.

This is a great fit for someone who enjoys both the technical depth of cloud/network architecture and the people side of building and coaching a high-performing team.

What You'll Do

• Lead a weekly cloud governance forum, driving decisions on network design, security policy, and project status
• Own cloud infrastructure support: server builds, network connectivity, private endpoints, DNS resolution, and firewall design
• Manage cloud role-based access control (RBAC), including group creation, management group membership, and read-only/contributor access across the Azure tenant, subscriptions, and resource groups
• Define cloud monitoring standards and codify them as Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform)
• Determine and document cloud data protection standards
• Lead administration of the enterprise code repository
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) standards and associated runbooks
• Build and maintain disaster recovery standards to support application resilience
• Manage, mentor, and grow a team of experienced engineers

Qualifications:

Required:

• 6+ years of relevant experience, including 2+ years in a supervisory or team-lead capacity
• Strong hands-on Azure experience — this is critical to the role
• Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform preferred; other IaC tools considered)
• Experience with RBAC, access governance, or identity management in a cloud environment
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience

Strongly Preferred / A Big Plus:

• Networking background — candidates with network engineering experience (routing, switching, firewall configuration, DNS, VPN/private connectivity, network segmentation) tend to ramp up quickly in this role, since a large part of the job is cloud networking and connectivity design
• Experience with cloud governance frameworks, compliance standards (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS), or security policy development
• Experience building or scaling a cloud landing zone, governance model, or account/subscription structure
• Familiarity with disaster recovery / business continuity planning in a cloud context

Nice to Have:

• Multi-cloud experience (AWS/GCP) in addition to Azure
• Relevant certifications (e.g., Azure Administrator, Azure Solutions Architect, networking certs such as CCNA/CCNP)

Compensation

$100,000.00-$150,000.00 Yearly
