Full Job Description
THE TEAM YOU WILL BE JOINING
Join a large, established organization undergoing a significant transformation across its enterprise technology infrastructure.
Partner directly with senior infrastructure leadership, cloud architecture, database, security, application, and external technology partners.
This team is modernizing a complex environment spanning Azure, on-premises infrastructure, networking, security, and enterprise platforms.
You will operate as a senior individual contributor within the IT PMO, with high visibility across technical and executive leadership.
This is not a generalist technology PM role. The team is specifically looking for someone who has successfully led complex infrastructure programs.
LOCATION
Fort Mill, SC, within the Charlotte metro area.
On-site 5 days per week.
WHAT THEY OFFER YOU
Direct ownership of some of the organization's largest and most visible infrastructure transformation initiatives.
An opportunity to establish stronger planning and delivery discipline across an evolving infrastructure organization.
Significant exposure to senior IT leadership and the ability to influence how major technology initiatives are structured and executed.
Work alongside experienced technical leaders who own architecture and engineering while you own the path from technical strategy to successful execution.
A complex transformation environment where strong project leadership will have an immediate, measurable impact.
Long-term opportunity to help shape project management standards across cloud, infrastructure, security, and platform initiatives.
WHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT
The organization is simultaneously executing major cloud migration, data center, networking, security, and platform initiatives.
A core priority is creating greater discipline around Work Breakdown Structure, resource planning, sequencing, dependencies, and execution readiness.
This person will take high-level technical initiatives and turn them into clear, structured, executable project plans before work begins.
The expectation is simple: plan the work, then work the plan.
You will help ensure teams understand exactly what needs to happen, in what order, by whom, and against what timeline before major infrastructure initiatives move into execution.
You will lead programs that include a large-scale cloud migration involving approximately 90 applications, 241 servers, and 400+ SQL instances, along with a broader data center exit strategy.
The role will also bring stronger accountability to external technology partners, ensuring vendor-delivered work remains aligned to scope, milestones, dependencies, and contractual commitments.
Success in this position will create greater predictability, transparency, and execution discipline across the infrastructure portfolio.
THE BACKGROUND THAT FITS
7+ years of IT project or program management experience with significant ownership of complex technology initiatives.
4+ years specifically managing IT infrastructure programs, such as cloud migrations, data center consolidation or exits, networking transformations, security programs, or infrastructure modernization.
Demonstrated ability to build and own a detailed Work Breakdown Structure, taking ambiguous or high-level technical scope and decomposing it into sequenced, assignable work packages.
Hands-on experience supporting cloud migration initiatives across Azure, AWS, or GCP. Azure experience is highly preferred.
Experience managing projects involving on-premises infrastructure, networking, databases, security, or other enterprise infrastructure environments.
Strong vendor program management experience, including managed services, staff augmentation, and fixed-scope SOW engagements.
Ability to hold external partners accountable to deliverables, milestones, budgets, and contractual commitments.
Strong understanding of infrastructure cutovers, migration planning, rollback strategies, go/no-go criteria, and operational risk.
Comfortable coordinating multiple technical teams and managing dependencies across Infrastructure, Security, Applications, Database, and external partners.
Strong executive communication skills with the ability to translate highly technical work into clear project status, risks, decisions, and business impact.
Experience with Jira, MS Project, Smartsheet, or comparable project and portfolio management tools.
PMP, PgMP, data center migration experience, Jira administration, Infrastructure as Code familiarity, or experience managing 100+ server / instance migrations would be highly valuable.
