Technical Project Manager

We are seeking a versatile Senior Technical Project Manager who seamlessly bridges executive-level project leadership with deep, hands-on cloud engineering expertise. In this hybrid role, you will be responsible for leading end-to-end cloud migration initiatives, designing enterprise-grade cloud solutions across AWS and Azure, and directly executing hands-on virtual machine (VM) migrations.

The ideal candidate does not just manage spreadsheets and timelines-you understand the underlying cloud infrastructure, actively troubleshoot migration pipelines, design resilient landing zones, and translate business goals into scalable technical roadmaps.

Key Responsibilities

1. Technical Project Management & Delivery

. Lead end-to-end project planning, execution, risk management, and governance for large-scale enterprise cloud migrations.

. Define project scope, schedules, budget, milestones, resource allocation, and key deliverables using Agile, Scrum, or hybrid methodologies.

. Act as the central communication hub between business executives, enterprise architects, DevOps engineers, and 3rd-party vendors.

. Conduct regular technical risk assessments, dependency tracking, and executive status reporting.

2. Enterprise Cloud Solution Architecture

. Architect scalable, highly available, secure, and cost-effective multi-cloud solutions across AWS and Microsoft Azure.

. Design cloud foundation components, including landing zones, network topologies (VPCs, VNets, DirectConnect, ExpressRoute), Identity and Access Management (IAM), governance, and security controls.

. Evaluate existing legacy architectures (on-premise, colocation, or private cloud) and formulate migration strategies (6 Rs: Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, etc.).

3. Hands-On VM Migration & Technical Execution

. Execute hands-on migrations of virtualized workloads (Windows, Linux, VMware, Hyper-V) into AWS and Azure environments.

. Hands-on utilization of native and third-party migration tools (e.g., AWS Application Migration Service [MGN], Azure Migrate, Carbonite, Zerto, VMware HCX).

. Perform pre-migration readiness assessments, dependency mapping, network configuration, target sizing, and cutover execution.

. Conduct post-migration validation, performance tuning, and operational handoff.

Required Qualifications & Skills

. Experience: 7+ years in IT project management with at least 4+ years of hands-on experience in cloud architecture and VM migration execution.

. Dual-Cloud Expertise: Proven design and implementation experience with both AWS and Azure cloud platforms.

. Hands-on Technical Skillset:

○ Direct experience running VM migration tools (Azure Migrate, AWS MGN, Zerto, VMware HCX).

○ Strong knowledge of hypervisors (VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V) and operating systems (Windows Server, Linux/Unix).

○ Deep understanding of hybrid cloud networking: DNS, VPNs, ExpressRoute, DirectConnect, subnets, routing tables, and firewalls.

. Project Management Mastery: Demonstrated success managing multi-phase, cross-functional technical projects from inception to completion.

Preferred Certifications & Tech Stack

Professional Certifications (Highly Desired)

. Cloud Architecture: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional AND/OR Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert.

. Project Management: Project Management Professional (PMP) or Certified Scrum Master (CSM).

Technical Stack Familiarity
