F5 is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to lead the enterprise-wide Technology Resilience program. This is a strategic leadership role responsible for orchestrating unified strategy across three core pillars: High Availability (HA), Disaster Recovery (DR), and Data Protection (Backup). You will be the single-threaded owner of the program, driving complex cross-functional initiatives, managing budgets, and ensuring technology services are architected to withstand disruption.
Key responsibilities include defining and owning the enterprise-wide Technology Resilience strategy and roadmap aligned with business objectives. You will lead large-scale programs enhancing HA, DR, and Backup capabilities across on-premises and multi-cloud environments, serving as the primary thought leader guiding engineering and operations teams. You will establish and manage a holistic governance framework including policies, standards, and controls for all three pillars, ensuring resilience investments align with business criticality.
You will oversee a comprehensive assurance program including HA failover testing, backup/restore validation, DR simulations, and tabletop exercises. You'll analyze program data, test results, and industry trends to identify gaps and drive continuous improvement and risk mitigation. Budget and vendor management responsibilities include managing end-to-end program budgets, forecasting, monthly tracking, and overseeing relationships with key third-party vendors for resilience technology and services.
As the central point of communication for the Technology Resilience program, you will develop and present clear updates on program status, risks, and resilience posture to executive leadership and governance committees. You will build collaborative relationships with leaders across Application Development, Infrastructure, Cybersecurity, and Business Units.
Required qualifications include 10+ years in technical program management, IT operations, or technology leadership with a proven track record managing large, complex enterprise programs. You need deep understanding of Technology Resilience principles with expert-level knowledge in at least one core pillar (HA/Site Reliability, DR, or Enterprise Backup) and strong familiarity with others. Mastery of program and project management methodologies (Agile, Scrum, PMP) and expertise with tools like Jira and Confluence are essential. You must have demonstrated experience managing program budgets, developing business cases, and handling vendor negotiations. Exceptional ability to influence without authority, from engineers to executives, with strong communication skills translating complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences, is critical. Strong experience with resilience patterns and services within AWS, Azure, and GCP is required. A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field is required; an MBA is a plus.
