Full Job Description

Are you the person who gets genuinely excited about a well-architected network diagram? Do you speak fluent “uptime” and know your way around a change management window? We need you.

We’re looking for a Technical Project Manager who can bridge the gap between infrastructure teams and the business, keeping complex, multi-workstream projects on track without losing the plot (or the sense of humor) along the way.

Responsibilities

  • End to end delivery of infrastructure focused projects: think data center migrations, network upgrades, cloud transitions, security enhancements, AI initiatives, and everything in between
  • Building and maintaining project plans, schedules, and budgets that actually reflect reality
  • Translating between engineers who live in the weeds and stakeholders who just want to know “when will this be done”
  • Risk and dependency tracking before they become 2am incidents
  • Vendor and cross functional team coordination
  • Own project status reporting, keeping it clear, current, and useful (not just a red/yellow/green exercise)
  • Lead steering committee meetings and other key touchpoints, keeping leadership informed and decisions moving
  • Manage stakeholders across technical and business teams, building trust in both directions
  • Serve as the communication hub for your projects, translating updates, risks, and decisions for the right audience at the right altitude


Qualifications

  • 4 to 7 years of project management experience, with a track record in infrastructure, IT operations, or technical environments preferred
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field preferred
  • Solid grasp of infrastructure concepts: networking, servers, cloud platforms, data centers, security basics preferred
  • Experience with project methodologies preferred
  • Comfort with PPM tools preferred
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to keep a room of engineers and executives aligned preferred
  • A knack for staying calm when the migration doesn’t go exactly to plan preferred
  • PMP, CAPM, or similar certification preferred
  • Experience with ITIL or change management frameworks preferred
  • A genuine curiosity about how systems work, not just how projects run preferred

Anticipated salary range: $80,900 - $127,050

Bonus eligible: No

Benefits: Cardinal Health offers a wide variety of benefits and programs to support health and well-being.
