  • Partner closely with internal technical teams, including system engineers, infrastructure architects, cloud operations, security and engineering leads, to ensure seamless project execution and internal stakeholder alignment
  • Establish robust project/program management frameworks, project management playbooks, continuous process improvement initiatives and operational documentation to elevate execution rigor across REIS projects
  • Drive proactive risk management, technical dependency tracking and executive governance across REIS programs, identifying critical blockers early, establishing mitigation plans and communicating strategic progress to leadership
  • Maintain high data integrity across internal operational platforms and PM tools (Jira, Confluence, dashboards and spreadsheets) to drive transparent, data-informed program decisions

What you'll need

  • Demonstrated curiosity and active exploration of AI tools, with a proven history of integrating new technologies to enhance daily workflows and augment problem-solving
  • Demonstrated proficiency utilizing operational information systems and PM tools (spreadsheets, dashboards, Jira, Confluence)
  • 10+ years of hands-on technical project and program management experience within cloud operations, networking, infrastructure, data center operations, building new cloud footprints, or DC migration initiatives in a SaaS/cloud environment
  • Proven technical project manager with a hands-on background in infrastructure, servers, networking and cloud services, and a track record of leading cross-functional teams to deliver complex deployments and migrations
  • US Citizenship required
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience

Nice to have

  • Project Management Professional (PMP) or Scrum Master (CSM/PSM) certification
  • Hands-on experience leading multi-phase Data Center (DC) migrations, building new cloud infrastructure/footprints, hardware refresh, or cloud migration programs
  • Working knowledge and/or understanding of ISO 27001, FedRAMP High, DoD IL5, or related federal compliance standards

Details
