• Own customer/stakeholder engagement, including status cadence, expectation management, and go/no-go readiness for migrations and go-lives.

• Partner with engineers/architects to validate designs and lead implementation, testing, and go-live across servers, storage, networking, and security.

• Lead data center exit/consolidation and cloud migrations, including discovery/dependency mapping, migration strategy, cutover, decommissioning, and CMDB/asset updates.

• Standardize delivery templates/metrics, capture lessons learned, and continuously improve execution across regions.

Education and Experience Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.

• 10+ years leading global infrastructure programs across data centers and/or private cloud implementations.

• Hands-on experience across compute/servers, enterprise storage, and networking delivery.

• Experience delivering data center exit and cloud migration/transformation programs across geographies.

• Strong customer management and executive communication skills.

Knowledge and Skills

• Data center delivery expertise (site readiness, rack/stack/cable, provisioning, integration).

• Migration/cutover leadership (wave planning, runbooks, change windows, rollback, hypercare).

• Strong program management: IMS, RAID, financials, resourcing, and dependency management.

• Ability to coordinate cross-domain teams and vendors (compute, storage, network, security, operations).

• Working knowledge of private cloud/virtualization operating models and service readiness.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management; executive-ready status and decision facilitation.
