About the Company
\n
Our client is a large, established global organization with operations across multiple regions worldwide, backed by the scale and stability of a broader parent enterprise. It is a recognized leader in its field and a well resourced environment for delivering complex infrastructure initiatives.
\n
\n
Role Overview
\n
We are seeking a Senior Infrastructure Project Manager to lead a broad portfolio of infrastructure initiatives across the organization. This individual will be responsible for driving a large volume of concurrent projects, on the order of 40 active efforts, ranging from multimillion dollar programs down to smaller, tactical projects. The focus of this role is leadership and delivery. This person leads the work rather than performing it, directing conversations, keeping teams aligned, and holding timelines and outcomes on track.
\n
\n
Project Scope
\n
This person will own and coordinate infrastructure projects spanning:
\n
- \n
- Data center projects (a primary focus of the portfolio)
- Cloud initiatives and migrations (any type)
- Network and firewall projects
- A mix of large, multimillion dollar programs and smaller efforts, managed in parallel

Leadership and Influence
\n
This is a leadership forward role with no direct reports. Success depends on the ability to lead through influence rather than authority, coordinating across teams, vendors, and stakeholders to keep everyone moving in the same direction. We are looking for someone with a strong, positive presence who can drive accountability across groups, stay resilient under pressure, and confidently steer technical conversations without derailing when challenges arise.
\n
\n
Technical and Project Management Depth
\n
Leadership and influence are the priority for this role, but the candidate must have a solid command of core infrastructure project management. They do not need to be deeply technical or work alongside engineers directly. Instead, they must understand infrastructure delivery well enough to direct discussions, challenge timelines, and keep engineering teams on track. Strong schedule and timeline management is essential.
