About the Role

We’re looking for a Risk Manager to build, own, and mature the security risk management program for our cloud‑native Veeam Data Cloud (VDC) platform. Our SaaS products run on Microsoft Azure and related cloud services, delivering high‑trust, secure data protection to customers across regulated and enterprise environments.

In this role, you will be responsible for turning raw security findings into a clear, prioritized, and business‑relevant risk story. You will design and run the core processes for identifying, assessing, and tracking security risks, own the VDC Security risk register, and help leadership understand where to invest for the biggest risk reduction. You’ll partner directly with engineering, SRE, Global Information Security (GIS), and other security teams to ensure our SaaS environment remains secure, resilient, and aligned with Veeam’s risk appetite.

What You’ll Do

• Build and operate a formal security risk management process for Veeam Data Cloud, including risk identification, assessment, prioritization, and tracking

• Own and maintain the VDC Security risk register, ensuring risks are clearly defined, consistently scored, and mapped to underlying evidence (e.g., Jira issues, penetration test reports, vulnerability scans, cloud configuration findings)

• Define and apply a consistent methodology for likelihood and impact, translating technical issues into business‑relevant risk ratings and treatment recommendations

• Aggregate and normalize findings from multiple sources (cloud security tools, penetration tests, audits, engineering reviews) into coherent risks and mitigation initiatives

• Partner with engineering, SRE, and security teams to convert high‑priority risks into actionable work items and projects, and track remediation progress over time

• Collaborate with GIS to align VDC’s risk taxonomy, thresholds, and reporting with enterprise security and compliance requirements

• Prepare and support quarterly executive risk reporting for the VP of VDC Engineering, the CTO, and the President of VDC, highlighting top risks, trends, and progress on mitigation

• Provide risk insights and data to support roadmap planning, investment decisions, and risk acceptance discussions

• Continuously evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk processes, metrics, and tooling to ensure that VDC’s security investments deliver measurable risk reduction

Technologies You’ll Work With

• Cloud platforms and services: Microsoft Azure (e.g., Entra ID, App Service, AKS, Storage, Networking, Key Vault, Defender, Monitor)

• Identity and access management: cloud identity models, roles and permissions, privileged access, and secure configuration baselines

• Security & risk tooling: vulnerability management, cloud security posture management (CSPM/CNAPP), SIEM, logging and monitoring platforms, and workflow tools (e.g., Jira)

• Reporting & analytics: dashboards and reports that surface security posture, risk trends, and remediation progress to technical and executive stakeholders

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of experience in security risk management, security governance, or a closely related role within cloud or SaaS environments.

• Hands-on experience building or operating risk registers and assessment processes (including scoring, prioritization, and risk treatment tracking), and working with security findings from tools such as vulnerability scanners, cloud security posture tools, and penetration tests.

• Strong understanding of cloud security concepts and risks, ideally including Microsoft Azure and modern identity platforms (e.g., Microsoft Entra); ability to translate technical security findings into clear business impact for senior stakeholders.

• Proven analytical and problem-solving skills, proficiency with workflow tools like Jira, and success collaborating with engineering, SRE, security, and distributed teams in multi-tenant environments

Bonus Skills

• Experience partnering with a central or corporate security team (e.g., GIS) in a multi‑business‑unit organization

• Experience preparing executive‑level or C‑suite risk reporting and presentations

• Familiarity with common risk frameworks (e.g., ISO 27005, NIST SP 800‑30, FAIR)

• Exposure to event‑driven cloud architectures and modern SaaS platforms

• Relevant security, cloud, or risk certifications
