IT Project Manager - Build the Next Generation of Infrastructure About the Role Do you love seeing new environments come to life - from design to deployment? We're looking for an IT Project Manager who thrives on building things from the ground up. In this role, you'll plan, coordinate, and deliver new infrastructure environments that support the future of our business. From data center builds and cloud migrations to network overhauls and system implementations, you'll lead the charge - managing timelines, budgets, vendors, and teams to bring complex infrastructure projects across the finish line. You'll play a critical role in shaping how our technology operates, scales, and evolves. If you're someone who enjoys orchestrating moving parts, bringing structure to chaos, and turning technical blueprints into real, working systems - this is your kind of challenge. What You'll Do Lead Infrastructure Build Projects Manage end-to-end delivery of infrastructure initiatives such as data center setups, new site deployments, network architecture builds, and cloud foundation environments. Translate technical objectives into clear, actionable project plans with defined milestones and deliverables. Coordinate across engineering, networking, and security teams to ensure all components integrate seamlessly. Partner with vendors and internal stakeholders to deliver scalable, reliable infrastructure solutions. Oversee testing, cutover, and transition to production environments. Own the Budget and Resource Planning Define and manage project budgets, resource needs, and vendor costs. Obtain and evaluate quotes for hardware, software, and cloud services. Track utilization and proactively identify cost or scope changes. Work closely with project sponsors to ensure financial and strategic alignment. Drive Communication and Results Lead regular project meetings to review progress, address blockers, and align priorities. Maintain transparent, detailed project documentation and reporting. Deliver concise status updates to stakeholders and leadership. Ensure all projects are completed on schedule, within scope, and aligned with operational goals. Coordinate smooth handoffs to operational teams with full transition documentation. What You Bring Proven experience managing infrastructure build-out projects, such as new data centers, network implementations, or cloud migrations. Strong understanding of IT infrastructure components - including servers, storage, networking, and security. Exceptional project management, organizational, and communication skills. Experience managing vendors, budgets, and cross-functional teams in technical environments. Familiarity with Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid project management approaches. Why You'll Love Working Here You'll lead high-visibility, hands-on projects that directly shape the organization's technical foundation. You'll work with forward-thinking teams on cutting-edge infrastructure initiatives. You'll have the autonomy to take ownership, make decisions, and deliver meaningful impact. You'll grow in an environment that values both technical understanding and leadership excellence. If you're ready to lead projects that build the backbone of a modern enterprise, we'd love to meet you.
