About the Role The Manager, Systems Engineering leads a team of professional Systems Engineers responsible for delivering consistent technical execution, strong customer outcomes, and measurable business impact across a defined region or segment. This role balances people leadership, operational execution, and technical oversight. It exists to ensure Systems Engineering efforts stay aligned to business priorities while adapting to a market that continues to change rapidly. Veeam has evolved beyond the legacy as a virtualization backup leader into a data resilience platform company . Customers now expect more than recovery—they expect confidence in their data as it becomes increasingly distributed, regulated, and consumed by analytics and AI initiatives. This role plays a direct part in that shift by developing teams that can guide customers through real change, not just product adoption. What You’ll Do Data underpins modern business. It drives operations, customer trust, compliance, and innovation. At the same time, it has become one of the most exposed parts of the enterprise due to ransomware, system failures, architectural sprawl, and accelerating AI adoption. Data resilience is no longer a technical detail. It is a business requirement—and increasingly a prerequisite for responsible AI use. This role ensures that Veeam’s strategy becomes execution. By building strong teams, improving how work gets done, and aligning technical engagement to real customer needs, the Manager, Systems Engineering directly influences customer success, partner effectiveness, and Veeam’s credibility in a market where resilient, trusted data is foundational to both security and innovation.
