Technical Project Manager

Department: Technology Operations

Salary Range: $100K – $125K

This is a 6-month contract position with the possibility of a 6-month extension, contingent on project needs and performance.

Job Summary

The Technical Project Manager (TPM) leads the planning, execution, and operational closure of infrastructure initiatives across the organization. The primary focus is the decommission of the Tier 2 datacenter and migration of its workloads to cloud or colocation environments. The TPM manages cross-functional schedules, vendor coordination, requirements gathering, and stakeholder communication, ensuring workloads are safely migrated, on schedule, and within budget.

This role bridges infrastructure engineering, application teams, network operations, finance, and vendor/colocation partners. Exceptional organizational discipline is required — this role manages concurrent workstreams with hard infrastructure deadlines and zero tolerance for tracking gaps.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end planning and execution of the Tier 2 datacenter closure, including workload inventory, dependency mapping, migration sequencing, and decommission milestones.

  • Coordinate with infrastructure, networking, and application teams to assess each workload for cloud lift-and-shift, re-platforming, or colocation placement.

  • Manage relationships with colocation providers and cloud vendors (Azure/AWS/GCP); track SLAs, contracts, and provisioning timelines.

  • Drive requirements-gathering sessions with application and business owners to document workload needs, compliance constraints, and SLAs.

  • Maintain an asset register and workload disposition matrix throughout all migration phases.

  • Coordinate datacenter physical decommission activities: rack inventory, hardware disposal/resale, power and cooling wind-down, and cage termination.

  • Track project budget, capital expenditure requests, and vendor invoicing.

  • Facilitate go/no-go reviews before each migration cutover window.

  • Review cross-program schedules and maintain summarized timelines focused on migration start/finish windows, cutover dates, and operational readiness.

  • Coordinate planning cadences aligned to migration windows; coordinate bug fixes and planned infrastructure enhancements. A two-week sprint approach may be adopted at the discretion of the TPM where it adds value.

  • Define backlog items, acceptance criteria, and readiness gates; track burn-down and release notes for each migration cohort.

  • Maintain backlogs, planning cadences, and dashboards in GitHub Projects or Smartsheet.

  • Coordinate change requests, incident triage, and post-deployment reviews.

  • Maintain Infrastructure SharePoint site, startup guides, checklists, runbooks, and configuration records.

  • Manage cross-team dependencies and ensure data handling practices conform to SOC 2 control requirements and internal policies.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

  • 5–8 years of technical project management with at least 2–3 years directly managing datacenter, infrastructure, or cloud migration projects.

  • Solid understanding of datacenter concepts: compute, storage, networking, power/cooling, physical security, and colocation contracts.

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure preferred) and migration frameworks (e.g., Azure Migrate, Cloud Adoption Framework, or equivalent).

  • Experience with infrastructure procurement, vendor management, and contract lifecycle.

  • Proficiency with GitHub Projects, Smartsheet, and SharePoint.

  • Experience coordinating cross-functional teams and presenting to internal and external stakeholders.

  • Strong risk, dependency, and release management; ability to translate technical metrics into clear business and operational implications.

  • PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent certification preferred; cloud certification (AZ-900 or higher) is a plus.

Skills

  • Datacenter and infrastructure project planning, workload dependency mapping, and migration sequencing.

  • Requirements gathering and workload disposition analysis (cloud vs. colocation vs. retire).

  • Vendor and colocation provider coordination.

  • Budget tracking across one-time purchases and recurring operational costs; executive status reporting.

  • Risk, dependency, and change management across multi-team migrations.

  • Strong documentation hygiene: runbooks, migration playbooks, and asset registers.

  • Tooling: GitHub Projects, Smartsheet, SharePoint; bonus: familiarity with DCIM tools, ITAM/CMDB systems, or network topology concepts.
