About the Role
Veeam is building an AI-ready, agentic data governance program designed to make trusted data accessible, reliable, and actionable across the enterprise. As data flows through our Databricks Lakehouse into executive reporting and AI-powered applications, we're transforming how data governance operates through automation, continuous trust measurement, and intelligent workflows. We are now looking for a Data and AI Governance, Senior Manager to help turn this vision into a scalable, operational reality.
Reporting directly to the Senior Director, AI-Ready Data Governance, you'll play a critical hands-on role in designing, building, and operating the technical capabilities behind Veeam's data governance strategy. You'll develop AI agents, automated governance workflows, catalog integrations, trust-scoring systems, and intelligent escalation mechanisms that make governance continuous rather than a one-time exercise. This is a senior individual-contributor position offering significant technical ownership and the opportunity to shape how AI-enabled governance operates across the organization.
You'll partner closely with the Senior Director, who owns the overall strategy and program direction, while bringing your own technical judgment, curiosity, and experimentation to the implementation. We're looking for someone who enjoys building solutions, exploring emerging AI capabilities, and replacing manual governance activities with intelligent automation. This is not a traditional policy-administration, catalog-maintenance, or people-management role.
