Summary

Position: Project Manager

Location: Remote

Hiring Mode: 6 Months Contract

Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced and highly technical Senior Project Manager to lead the complete lifecycle of our VMware Cloud Foundation 9 (VCF 9) implementation, from initial concept (inception) through successful delivery and transition to operations. The ideal candidate will possess deep project management expertise, a proven track record of managing complex cloud infrastructure projects, and hands-on knowledge of the VCF platform architecture and its components (vSphere, vSAN, NSX, SDDC Manager, VCF Operations). This role requires a strong leader who can effectively manage cross-functional teams, external vendors, and executive-level stakeholders.

Responsibilities

Project Leadership & Delivery

End-to-End Project Management: Own and manage the full project lifecycle for the VCF 9 implementation, including project charter, scope definition, detailed work breakdown structure (WBS), resource planning, and execution across multiple phases (design, build, migration, and go-live).
Methodology: Employ a hybrid methodology (e.g., Agile/Scrum for technical delivery and Waterfall for overall program governance) to ensure project timelines, budget, and scope are met.
Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for all VCF 9 project stakeholders, including technical teams, business leaders, vendors, and executive sponsors.
Risk & Issue Management: Proactively identify, analyze, document, and mitigate project risks and dependencies across all VCF components, hardware, and networking prerequisites.
Financial Management: Manage and report on project budget, tracking expenditures, and ensuring all project activities align with financial forecasts and organizational goals.

Technical Oversight & VCF-Specific Tasks:

VCF 9 Planning & Design: Collaborate with architects and engineering teams to validate the low-level design, ensuring the VCF 9 deployment (Management Domain, Workload Domains, networking with NSX, and storage with vSAN) aligns with organizational and technical requirements.
Implementation Governance: Oversee the execution of VCF 9 deployment steps, including the use of the VCF Installer, configuration of VCF Operations/Fleet Management, and enablement of core features like Tanzu/Kubernetes and vDefend.
Migration Strategy: Lead the planning and execution of workload migration from existing environments into the new VCF 9 platform, minimizing downtime and business impact.
Quality Assurance: Define and manage the quality assurance and testing phase, including performance testing, security compliance checks, and operational readiness verification.

Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI): Manage the integration and deployment onto underlying HCI solutions (e.g., Dell VxRail, HPE GreenLake, or certified hardware).

Qualifications:

Required Experience:

5+ years of experience managing complex IT infrastructure or cloud platform implementation projects as a Senior Project Manager.
Demonstrable hands-on project management experience with a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) implementation (preferably VCF 9 or a major version upgrade/deployment).
Proven ability to manage cross-functional project teams (Infrastructure, Network, Security, Application, and PMO).
Expertise in project planning tools (e.g., Microsoft Project, Jira, Azure DevOps) and collaboration software.

Technical & Certifications:

PMP (Project Management Professional) or equivalent certification (e.g., PRINCE2, CSM).
Strong understanding of cloud computing concepts (private/hybrid cloud) and data center virtualization.
Familiarity with the core components of VCF: vSphere, vSAN, NSX-T/NSX, and SDDC Manager/VCF Operations.
Knowledge of networking and storage concepts related to VCF deployment (e.g., MTU, VLANs, software-defined storage/networking).

Soft Skills:

Exceptional communication (written and verbal) and presentation skills, capable of articulating complex technical concepts to non-technical executive audiences.
High level of commercial awareness, with demonstrated experience managing vendor contracts and project financials.
Proven ability to lead, mentor, and motivate project teams to achieve successful delivery under pressure.
