Infrastructure Project Manager

Role Overview

Infrastructure Project Management is redefining strategic execution at Cboe—transforming how Global Infrastructure delivers innovation through disciplined intake, transparent roadmaps, and relentless accountability. The Infrastructure Project Manager partners with engineering teams across Global Infrastructure to deliver complex technical initiatives.

Projects span the full infrastructure stack including data center strategy, network architecture, platform modernization, enterprise systems, automation, observability, and security initiatives. The person in this position serves as the central point of coordination for projects spanning multiple infrastructure domains—translating complexity into clear plans, aligning competing priorities, and driving accountability from kickoff through production deployment.
