Senior Program Manager, Enterprise Cloud Migration
About The Position
Voya is advancing a complex enterprise cloud migration and data center exit initiative, with approximately 400 applications moving from on-premises data centers to the cloud. Azure is the target cloud provider; however, relevant experience with any major public cloud provider is valued. This Senior Program Manager role will be part of the Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO) and will provide strategic planning, program governance, and execution leadership across a large, cross-functional transformation effort. The successful candidate will bring strong EPMO program management discipline, executive communication skills, and the technical fluency needed to partner effectively with application development, infrastructure, cloud engineering, data, security, operations, vendor partners, and business stakeholders. This role requires a leader who can translate complex technical work into clear plans, measurable outcomes, and actionable decisions while helping teams navigate dependencies, risks, issues, and priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Requirements
- Significant experience leading large-scale cloud migration, data center exit, infrastructure modernization, application modernization, or enterprise transformation programs within a structured PMO or EPMO environment.
- Demonstrated senior program management experience, including strategic planning, integrated roadmap development, governance routines, executive-level status reporting, financial management, risk and issue management, and dependency coordination.
- Proven ability to partner with senior business and technology leaders to translate enterprise objectives into actionable plans, measurable outcomes, and disciplined delivery execution.
- Experience coordinating complex migration work across application, infrastructure, security, network, database, operations, vendor, and business teams.
- Experience managing application remediation and development activities required to support cloud migration readiness and production deployment.
- Strong understanding of infrastructure concepts, including compute, storage, networking, databases, load balancing, firewalls, DNS, identity, monitoring, backup, disaster recovery, and environment provisioning.
- Working knowledge of security capabilities and controls required for cloud migration, including access management, firewalls, web application firewalls, key vaults, certificates, secrets management, and secure connectivity patterns.
- Familiarity with DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, observability, site reliability engineering practices, and cloud operating models.
- Ability to listen to technical resources, ask effective questions, connect technical details to business impacts, and identify dependencies, risks, issues, assumptions, and decisions across application, infrastructure, data, network, and security domains.
- Demonstrated ability to manage ambiguity, influence without direct authority, balance competing priorities, and lead teams through a fast-paced delivery environment.
- Working knowledge of public cloud migration concepts and patterns across Azure, AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or similar cloud providers.
- Experience operating in regulated environments with security, compliance, audit, privacy, or risk management requirements.
- Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of relevant professional experience, training, and industry-recognized certifications.
