• Coordinate and orchestrate work across large, distributed teams of engineers, architects, and stakeholders, ensuring alignment on technical deliverables, timelines, and dependencies.
• Drive project planning, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies for high-impact initiatives, maintaining meticulous attention to detail in tracking progress, budgets, and resources.
• Facilitate deep technical discussions, resolve blockers, and foster collaboration to accelerate innovation in cloud-native architectures and infrastructure-as-code practices.
• Prepare and deliver executive-level presentations, dashboards, and reports that highlight project status, milestones, challenges, and outcomes, influencing strategic decisions.
• Champion best practices in agile methodologies, continuous improvement, and operational excellence to enhance team productivity and project predictability.
• Ensure compliance with security, scalability, and reliability standards throughout the project lifecycle.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field; advanced certifications in cloud technologies (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Google Cloud Professional) are highly desirable.
• 10+ years of experience in technical program management, with at least 5 years focused on cloud infrastructure projects such as migrations, control planes, and automation pipelines.
• Proven track record of managing large-scale, technically complex programs involving 50+ team members, with a demonstrated ability to deliver under tight deadlines.
• Exceptional attention to detail, follow-through, and high drive to push projects forward, even in ambiguous or challenging situations.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with experience briefing executives on technical and business impacts.
• Proficiency in project management tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Microsoft Project) and agile/scrum frameworks.
• Leadership in cross-organizational initiatives, including vendor management and stakeholder alignment

Preferred Skills

• Experience in hybrid or multi-cloud environments and large-scale data center migrations.
• Familiarity with control plane technologies (e.g., API gateways, service meshes) and pipeline orchestration (e.g., GitHub Actions, ArgoCD).
• Strong technical acumen in cloud computing, DevOps tools (e.g., Kubernetes, Terraform, Jenkins), and infrastructure management.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, innovative environment with a bias for action.

This role offers the opportunity to shape the future of our cloud infrastructure, working with cutting-edge technologies and talented teams. If you are a results-oriented leader with unwavering attention to detail and the drive to see complex projects through to success, we encourage you to apply.
