VP, AWS Support

Lead with Purpose, Unlock Your Team’s Passion At LPL, people leaders hold the key to the employee experience — shaping culture, driving performance, and guiding individuals to new heights. Because when that happens, we all win – clients, LPL, and most importantly our, employees. If you're ready to lead with intention and discover what’s possible, LPL Financial invites you to apply today. The Support team is the human face of CCOE for every engineering team that consumes our AWS landing zone — and at our scale, 'support' is a relentless, automation-first operations function, not a queue full of tickets. As VP, Support, you'll lead a 24x7 Tier 1 / Tier 2 operations team that triages tickets, runs change windows, fulfills account / IAM / access requests, executes runbooks, and commands major incidents — and you'll automate every repeatable thing along the way. If you want to lead a globally distributed team across the US and India and run the cloud well enough that we get rid of toil rather than scaling it, this is your seat.

As the VP, AWS Support, you lead the Support team in LPL's Cloud Center of Excellence (CCOE). You own the strategy, architecture, implementation, and operations of LPL's CCOE Tier 1 / Tier 2 24x7 production support for the AWS landing zone — the run-the-cloud function inside CCOE. Your team is the entry point for application teams: inbound ticket triage across Jira and ServiceNow, account / IAM / access-request fulfillment, runbook execution and continuous automation of repeatable operations, change-window execution, major incident command for production cloud incidents, and structured escalation into the Foundations pods (Security & Governance, FinOps, Functional Design Engineering & Strategy, Network Engineering, Monitoring), Platforms, Containers, and Delivery, and to the Principal Engineer, Cloud Strategy Lead when the issue is cross-CCOE. You partner closely with the Monitoring pod within Foundations on alert routing into ServiceNow and on the feedback loop from incident review back into durable monitoring and platform improvement. LPL is an AWS-first CCOE: a multi-account landing zone with 100+ private reusable Terraform modules that enable 60+ AWS services, all delivered through Terraform Cloud and GitHub Actions. You are both a people leader for a globally distributed team across the US and LPL's India Global Capability Center (GCC) and a hands-on senior engineer who contributes directly to runbooks, Terraform code, and major incident command.
