Job Description

You're the Sr. Manager, System Owners

You are part of EA's Fan Care organization that strives to make EA known for taking care of players.

You will manage a team of System Owners, who are responsible for the overall management and maintenance of all technology systems and services used by Fan Care to help our fans.

You will work with your team to set roadmaps for the systems, balance their workload and empower them to achieve their personal and career goals

You like technology and are not afraid of having deep technical conversations with architects and developers.

You will oversee the health and maintenance of the systems, including the relationships with external vendors.

You will partner with our internal engineering groups to help balance the needs of the business against the needs of the systems infrastructure.

You will partner with the Product Directors embedded in the rest of the Fan Care organization to help support their product roadmaps.

You will be reporting to the Director, of Platforms & Services

A typical day in the life of the Sr. Manager, System Owners
• Manage a team of people with human and technical needs focusing on career development, process improvement and empowerment of the System Owners.
• Collaborate with stakeholders, leadership, partner teams, vendors and your team to agree on system strategy and desired outcomes
• Explore and learn about the challenges of our internal departments and what their urgent needs are
• Create and communicate system roadmaps & capabilities across all product teams
• Provide support to System Owners during the development process by removing roadblocks, reviewing documentation and driving resolutions from partners
• Manage the system lifecycle process, including the in-take process of new work and system ownership from internal and external partners

• Measure the health of our systems and report on progress and metrics to our partners
• Measure the progress of our backlogs in JIRA and drive the changes needed to manage them efficiently

You'll love your job THE MOST if you:
• Have 4-7 years of relevant experience in a Technical or Program Management role
• Have 5+ years of experience managing individual contributors
• Like working, and winning, with a broad team
• Enjoy optimizing existing processes and workflows to help empower the System Owners
• Are comfortable discussing technical solutions with architects and other engineering team members
• Can explain complex technical concepts to business users

You'll feel pretty bummed about this job if you:
• want to spend more time on programs than people
• like working on your own rather than collaborating with a team to accomplish a task
• dislike rapid pace or constant changes in their work environment
• aren't comfortable sharing what you're doing constantly and broadly
