The ideal candidate pairs deep PMI methodology expertise with sharp stakeholder management instincts and a calm, decisive presence under pressure.
Key Responsibilities
›Own the full lifecycle of infrastructure project plans — from WBS development and resource loading through execution, monitoring, and closeout.
› Lead planning and delivery of data center initiatives including hardware upgrades, new builds, migrations, and consolidations.
› Orchestrate alignment across cross-functional workstreams — infrastructure, networking, storage, security, and application teams — ensuring dependencies, timelines, and deliverables stay on track.
› Manage internal and external vendor relationships, coordinating procurement, cabling, installation, and configuration to meet project milestones.
› Maintain rigorous project documentation: detailed schedules, risk/issue/action logs, decision registers, and change management records.

› Serve as the primary liaison between technical delivery teams, senior leadership, and the client — translating complexity into clarity.
› Enforce adherence to data center standards, operational policies, and security protocols across all project activities.
› Oversee project budgets, resource plans, and vendor contracts to keep initiatives on time and within cost.
› Lead post-implementation reviews and ensure smooth, well-documented transitions to steady-state operations.
Qualifications :
12+ years of hands-on experience managing complex infrastructure and data center projects (upgrades, new builds, migrations, consolidations).
›Active PMP certification (PgMP or equivalent advanced credential a plus); 10+ years of applied PMI-based project management practice .
Proven track record coordinating large, multi-vendor, multi-workstream programs in high-pressure enterprise environments.
›Deep working knowledge of data center environments: compute, storage, networking, cabling, power, and cooling systems.
›Strong financial acumen — budget forecasting, vendor contract management, and cost variance tracking.
›Expertise in risk identification, issue resolution, and dependency management across complex project ecosystems. ›Fluency with modern project management tooling: MS Project, Smartsheet, Jira, or equivalent platforms.
›Exceptional communication skills — equally effective presenting to engineers and to C-suite executives.
