Manager of Infrastructure Engineering - Network Governance & Risk Remediation
On-sitePlano, Texas, United States
Job Summary
Own the network governance operating model and roadmap, managing intake, prioritization, and stakeholder alignment to drive measurable risk burn-down. Establish governance forums and processes with clear decision rights and escalation paths that convert decisions into executed remediation. Lead vendor code review and release governance, implementing pre-production quality gates for network changes to ensure standardization and auditability. Drive end-to-end risk remediation execution across Capacity Management, TLM, and Patching backlogs, including exception handling and traceability from identification to closure. Define controls and reporting standards to improve audit readiness and executive communication while reducing unplanned work and strengthening change quality. This role requires formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience, with a focus on leading infrastructure teams within a regulated environment.
