Sr IT Infrastructure PM

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.
• Experience developing comprehensive project plans covering scope, milestones, dependencies, resource allocation, risk, budget, and delivery timelines.
• 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.
