## Description

As Senior Manager, Platform Engineering & Delivery, you will lead multiple delivery capability domains within Platform Engineering focused on improving software delivery across SiriusXM. You will be accountable for the teams, technical leads, shared platforms, and operating standards engineering organizations rely on to develop, validate, secure, package, and release software at scale. In this role, you will define and execute the annual and multi-year delivery engineering strategy and roadmap, ensuring that our platforms and tools measurably improve developer productivity, software quality, operational consistency, release reliability, adoption, and security posture. You will establish shared engineering standards and governance, influence senior leaders across engineering, infrastructure, security, and product, and make investment, staffing, and prioritization decisions that build a strong organization and develop future leaders.

What you'll do:

 * Lead Organization and Roadmap: Lead multiple delivery capability domains and the engineers and technical leads responsible for them. Own the annual and multi-year roadmap for platform investments, establish priorities and success measures, and align capacity, staffing, vendor, and tooling decisions with Platform Engineering leadership and senior stakeholders.
 * Drive Strategy and Execution for Core Delivery Capabilities: Direct the strategy, tooling, and execution across CI/CD, artifact management, production containers, code quality, and security scanning, with a focus on specific outcomes:
 + Accelerating Delivery: Improve development speed, release reliability, and consistency across teams through CI/CD tooling and shared components.
 + Standardizing Artifacts and Containers: Ensure software packages, build outputs, and containerized workloads are reliable, traceable, secure, and standardized for easy consumption and delivery.
 + Improving Quality and Security Posture: Drive capabilities for code quality and security scanning to enhance maintainability, engineering effectiveness, and enable secure-by-default delivery practices by shifting security earlier in the development lifecycle.
 * Foster Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner closely with security, infrastructure, developer experience, and application engineering teams to identify friction, improve workflows, and deliver scalable shared solutions.
 * Operational Accountability and Excellence: Own technical and organizational decision-making for the delivery engineering portfolio, ensuring solutions align with broader platform strategy and business goals. Set priorities across multiple concurrent efforts, resolve cross-functional trade-offs, and manage material risks, dependencies, service reliability, capacity, and investment decisions.
 * Performance, Standards, and Governance: Establish and evolve engineering processes, delivery standards, governance, and secure-by-default practices. Use adoption, developer productivity, delivery performance, reliability, quality, and security metrics to evaluate platform effectiveness and hold teams accountable for measurable operational outcomes.
 * Develop Talent and Organizational Capability: Coach and develop technical leads and engineers, build a strong leadership bench, and create succession and development plans. Partner with Talent Acquisition and HR on hiring, organization design, workforce planning, performance management, and staffing decisions across the delivery engineering portfolio.
 * Enterprise Adoption and Executive Influence: Drive adoption of shared delivery platforms and standards across multiple engineering organizations. Present recommendations, performance results, risks, and investment trade-offs to senior management and secure alignment on changes that affect company-wide software delivery.
 * Resource and Vendor Stewardship: Plan and manage the team's operating capacity and approved tooling or vendor investments, balancing cost, reliability, security, and developer experience while ensuring resources are aligned to strategic priorities.
