The Opportunity

Are you ready to lead the engine room of Nutanix’s technical talent pipeline? We are looking for a Manager for the SE Academy based in our Barcelona hub. In this role, you will bridge the gap between global program strategy and regional execution.
As an MR3 Manager, you will be the operational lead for the EMEA Academy, ensuring that every cohort is scheduled, resourced, and mentored to perfection. You will work closely with Global Program Leadership to translate budget and high-level strategy into a world-class experience for our Associate Systems Engineers.

Your Role

  • Hub Operations & Execution: Support the Global Program Manager by managing the day-to-day resources, facilities, and scheduling for all Barcelona-based cohorts.
  • Performance & People Management: You will hold formal responsibility for the hiring, performance reviews, career development, and promotion readiness of Associates.
  • Regional Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for EMEA SE leadership to ensure the "landing zones" for graduating Associates are identified and that their skills meet regional market demands.
  • Recruitment Leadership: Partner with Talent Acquisition to drive the regional interview and selection process, ensuring a high bar for technical aptitude and cultural fit.
  • Technical Coaching Strategy: Oversee the "Player/Coach" model within the hub. You will ensure that technical training, whiteboarding sessions, and live demo practices are executed to a high standard.
  • Feedback Loop & Program Improvement: Provide the Global Program Manager with data-driven insights and regional feedback to help iterate on the global curriculum and training materials.
  • Escalation & Resolution: Act as the first point of escalation for any personnel or operational issues within the Barcelona hub, ensuring a professional and high-energy learning environment.

What You’ll Bring

  • Management Experience: 2+ years of formal people management experience, with a focus on developing early-career or technical talent.
  • Technical Credibility: 5+ years in a customer-facing technical role (Presales, Professional Services, etc.). You must be able to evaluate technical competency and provide high-level architectural guidance.
  • Operational Excellence: Strong ability to manage complex schedules and resource allocations across multiple simultaneous workstreams.
  • Collaboration Skills: Proven ability to work effectively with a Global Program Manager and remote leadership teams.
  • EMEA Context: Deep understanding of the EMEA tech ecosystem and the diverse cultural nuances of the EMEA sales theater.
  • Coaching Heart: A genuine passion for watching others grow and a commitment to maintaining the "Hungry, Humble, Honest" culture.

 

Work Arrangement
Hybrid: This role operates in a hybrid capacity, blending the benefits of remote work with the advantages of in-person collaboration. In locations where our workplace policy applies (i.e. San Jose, Durham, Mexico City, Bangalore, Pune, Hoofddorp, Belgrade, Barcelona, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo), employees are expected to work onsite a minimum of 3 days per week to foster collaboration, team alignment, and access to in-office resources. Workplace type may vary based on location and team requirements. Please speak with your recruiter for details. Additional team-specific guidance and norms will be provided by your manager.
