We are seeking a Project Manager with strong technical infrastructure and cloud migration experience to support a large-scale Department of Defense modernization program. This role will lead complex workload and virtual machine migrations from legacy on-premises environments into modern private and public cloud architectures.

This is not a traditional functional PM role. We are looking for someone who understands the technical side of infrastructure migrations and can effectively manage migration factories, migration waves, dependencies, schedules, engineering teams, and production cutovers.

The position is primarily remote with approximately 20% travel to customer locations.

What Youll Do

• Lead infrastructure migration efforts from initial planning through successful production cutover

• Manage workload and virtual machine (VM) migrations across large enterprise environments

• Coordinate migrations from on-premises infrastructure to private and/or public cloud environments

• Develop and manage migration waves, including wave planning, sequencing, schedules, dependencies, risks, and milestones

• Work closely with engineering, architecture, operations, and customer stakeholders to ensure migration readiness

• Drive coordination across multiple technical teams during migration execution and cutover activities

• Identify migration risks, blockers, and dependencies and drive them to resolution

• Provide clear status reporting and executive-level communication around schedules, risks, and migration progress

• Serve as the primary Project Manager for assigned migrations through successful transition

• Coordinate handoff to managed services and operations teams once workloads have been migrated and stabilized

Required Qualifications

• Active Top Secret clearance

• Demonstrated experience leading workload migrations

• Experience managing virtual machine (VM) migrations

• Strong experience with on-premises-to-cloud migrations

• Experience working with private cloud and/or public cloud environments

• Hands-on project leadership experience with Migration Factory methodologies

• Experience developing and executing migration waves / wave plans

• Background supporting large-scale infrastructure modernization, data center transformation, virtualization, or cloud migration programs

• Strong understanding of migration concepts, terminology, dependencies, and production cutover processes

• Ability to communicate effectively with both highly technical engineering teams and program/customer leadership

• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Project, and other project management tools

• Ability to travel approximately 20%

Preferred Qualifications

• PMP certification or other recognized project/program management certification

• Experience supporting Department of Defense or other Federal Government environments

• Experience with enterprise virtualization technologies

• Experience supporting large, complex data center or cloud transformation initiatives

• Familiarity with managed services operating models and transitioning migrated workloads into steady-state operations

Why This Opportunity?

This role provides the opportunity to contribute to one of the largest infrastructure modernization efforts within the Department of Defense. Youll be working at the intersection of program management, infrastructure engineering, virtualization, and cloud transformation.

Youll have the opportunity to:

• Influence enterprise-scale migration strategy

• Work alongside senior cloud, virtualization, infrastructure, and migration engineers

• Gain exposure to next-generation private and public cloud technologies

• Support the modernization of mission-critical government infrastructure

• Play a highly visible role within a long-term DoD transformation program

• Help move large enterprise environments away from legacy infrastructure toward more scalable, resilient architectures
