5d•$45 - $55•Remote

About The Position

A client of ours is working through a merger with two other locations so there are several projects that need alignment in order to get all technologies together on the same page as well as to prepare the Infrastructure and eventual move of certain applications to the cloud. This particular Project manager will be responsible for leading the application rationalization and gradual move of their applications to the cloud (they are all Microsoft/Azure) in addition to a continuous data center depreciation and consolidation project of some of their smaller data centers scattered around campus. We are seeking an experienced IT Infrastructure Project Manager to lead the assessment, planning, and execution of a multi-year infrastructure modernization initiative focused on cloud migration and data center consolidation. This individual will partner with infrastructure, application, security, and business stakeholders to establish migration criteria, evaluate application readiness for cloud adoption, and oversee the migration of on-premises workloads to cloud-based environments. A critical component of this role will be supporting the organization's strategy to exit one of its data centers while coordinating implementation activities with external service integrators such as AHEAD, Optum, or similar partners. The ideal candidate brings a combination of infrastructure project management expertise, cloud migration experience, application portfolio assessment capabilities, and strong stakeholder management skills.
