Senior Manager, Cloud Engineering Governance - FedRAMP

We are seeking an experienced Manager of Cloud Governance to lead a team of cloud engineers responsible for governing, securing, and optimizing our multi-cloud, multi-tenant environment. This role combines people management with hands-on technical leadership across multiple Microsoft Entra tenants, our AWS Organization, cloud policy enforcement, cost optimization, and vendor relationships. The ideal candidate will own day-to-day team operations, backlog execution, and cross-functional coordination, enabling the Director to focus on strategy and stakeholder engagement.

• Directly manage a small team of cloud engineers; handle hiring, coaching, performance reviews, career development, and administrative tasks (time-off, expense approvals)

• Facilitate team stand-ups, planning, and backlog refinement; break down Director-defined initiatives into well-scoped, actionable work items with the team

• Produce weekly status reports for leadership covering progress, blockers, and upcoming priorities

• Serve as primary point of contact for cloud governance requests, escalations, and issues from Engineering and other departments; collect requirements and feedback when implementing new systems, guardrails, or CSP configurations; communicate policy changes and best practices to development teams

• Develop, implement, and enforce cloud governance frameworks and policies across Azure, AWS, and SaaS platforms to meet regulatory and industry requirements

• Define and manage RBAC, tagging, and naming standards across cloud service providers

• Create and enforce policies using IaC and policy-as-code tooling (e.g., Azure Policy, AWS SCPs, Cloud Custodian, Terraform); design break-glass access and JIT privilege elevation workflows

• Oversee multiple Microsoft Entra tenants used by Engineering and other departments, including cross-tenant synchronization, identity lifecycle management (provisioning, deprovisioning, attribute-based scoping), and SAML/OIDC authentication for SaaS applications and CSPs

• Oversee hardware security key (YubiKey) lifecycle management - procurement, provisioning, and phishing-resistant authentication policies - for the FedRAMP environment

• Conduct security assessments and audits; perform root cause analysis on governance-related incidents; support compliance initiatives in regulated and compliance-heavy environments, including audit readiness and evidence collection
