About The Role

The Senior Manager, Center of Expertise will lead a team of elite product and domain experts who drive measurable outcomes on strategic customer engagements. This role is built for a technically fluent, decisive leader who thrives at the intersection of modern data protection, cloud infrastructure, and AI-driven operations—someone who can translate complex architectures into executive-level narratives and who genuinely cares about the people they lead and the customers they serve. You will lead a team of Domain Engineering Specialists (DES) who serve as subject matter experts across Veeam Data Platform (VDP), Veeam Data Cloud (VDC), Vault, and Kasten, as well as the broader cloud-native and AI/ML ecosystem surrounding them.

This is a team that sets the standard—not just within Veeam, but across the industry—and the right leader will take pride in keeping it that way. Your team partners with customer-facing teams to lead complex, large-scale technical onboardings involving intricate multi-environment architectures, data modeling, telemetry analysis, and risk discussions with C-suite stakeholders (CISO/CIO/CTO). You will align customer posture against the Veeam Data Resilience Maturity Model (DRMM) and industry frameworks (NIST CSF, CIS Controls, Zero Trust Architecture) to surface optimization opportunities and drive expansion.

Success requires deep cross-functional alignment, the ability to manage competing priorities at scale, and a bias toward outcomes over activity.

What You’Ll Do

Lead and develop a team of 6–10 Domain Engineering Specialists, investing genuinely in their growth through technical coaching, structured career development, and a culture where people feel challenged, valued, and proud of the work they do. Define and execute the team’s technical enablement roadmap, with a strong focus on emerging capabilities in AI/ML, cloud-native architectures, and cyber resilience. Own the team’s involvement in complex, large-scale customer onboardings—multi-environment migrations, hybrid and multi-cloud transformations, and enterprise-wide resilience deployments that require deep architectural engagement and precise coordination.

Coach specialists to deepen expertise in ransomware recovery, immutable storage, multi-cloud data protection, and Kubernetes-native backup—and create clear paths for them to grow into recognized experts inside and outside of Veeam. Build and scale a content and resource hub that extends the team’s reach beyond 1:1 customer engagements—including technical playbooks, reference architectures, self-service assessment tools, and evergreen enablement content. Develop and run high-impact customer engagement programs—webinars, roundtables, virtual workshops, executive briefings, and community forums—that position Veeam’s expertise in front of broader audiences and create scalable touchpoints across the customer lifecycle.

Establish and maintain the team’s position as a credible technical authority in conversations with customer engineering, architecture, and executive stakeholders. Drive process improvements and playbooks that scale impact without scaling headcount linearly. Monitor operational KPIs and use data to identify coaching opportunities, capacity gaps, and emerging risk patterns across the customer portfolio.
