Overview
We are seeking a Project Manager to join our IT team and help drive the successful execution of large-scale infrastructure and cloud migration projects. This role requires someone who understands both the technical complexity of infrastructure work (particularly in Azure/AWS/GCP environments) and the leadership skills required to support executive stakeholders in aligning resources across a dynamic portfolio of projects.
Key Responsibilities
- Project Leadership & Execution
- Lead infrastructure-related projects (e.g., data center migrations, cloud platform deployments, system upgrades) from initiation through closure.
- Develop and maintain project plans, schedules, RAID logs, and communication cadences.
- Facilitate integration across multiple workstreams (infrastructure, security, change, training) to deliver cohesive outcomes.
- Portfolio & Resource Alignment
- Work closely with executive sponsors and department leaders to understand competing priorities and ensure efficient resource utilization across the project portfolio.
- Help identify resource constraints early and facilitate cross-team negotiations to prevent burnout and delivery delays.
- Stakeholder Management
- Serve as a liaison between technical teams (Infrastructure, Security) and business stakeholders.
- Facilitate steering committee meetings, update leadership on project health, and escalate risks appropriately.
- Collaboration with Adjacent Functions
- Partner with IT Program Manager and Change Manager to ensure technical efforts support broader business transformation goals.
- Align with training and adoption teams to ensure smooth transition from project delivery to business-as-usual.
Preferred Experience
- 4-6 years of experience in project management or technical leadership roles.
- Demonstrated experience leading IT infrastructure projects, preferably with cloud migration (Azure, GCP and/or AWS).
- Understanding of project delivery frameworks (Agile, Waterfall, or Hybrid), with ability to flex as needed.
- Experience managing matrixed resource teams and limited direct authority.
Ideal Candidate Traits
- Systems-thinker who can connect technical changes to business impact.
- Comfortable facilitating across both technical and executive stakeholders.
- Proactive, organized, and thrives in ambiguity and change.
- Focused on creating repeatable processes that can scale across future projects.
Benefits
- This position is eligible for medical, dental, vision, and 401(k).
