Position Summary
We are seeking a highly adaptable, proactive IT Project Manager with a strong technical delivery background in Cyber Security and IT Infrastructure.

You will oversee all aspects of the project lifecycle, establish milestones, assign cross-functional responsibilities, and monitor progress to summarize performance for upper management.
This position is built for a self-motivated professional comfortable balancing 2 to 3 large-scale projects concurrently. Because this role interfaces with global infrastructure delivery teams based across multiple international time zones, candidates must possess excellent time flexibility to accommodate early morning or evening meetings as project cadences demand.

- Oversee work streams across major initiatives, which may include global data center technology refreshes, vulnerability management upgrades, conferencing hardware/software updates, and automated secure infrastructure rebuilds.
- Set concrete deadlines, assign accountability across matrixed project teams, and drive delivery metrics.
- Prepare regular project status summaries, risk registers, and milestone tracking reports for executive leadership and delivery owners.
- Manage day-to-day work tasks utilizing Jira and support the organizational transition to Planview PPM software.
- Rely on extensive professional experience and proactive judgment to plan, forecast, and accomplish strategic rollout goals.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Experience: 4 to 7+ years of dedicated experience in IT Project Management specifically driving infrastructure or cyber security implementations.
- Technical Concepts: Solid baseline understanding of core enterprise infrastructure architecture and modern cyber security frameworks.
- Tools: Proficient hands-on tracking experience using Jira for task management and project delivery workflows.
- Global Delivery: Proven capability managing stakeholder relationships and driving delivery across multi-national/global time zones.
- Schedule Flexibility: Must be comfortable working a flexible schedule (which may include a break in the middle of the day to account for split shifts supporting early morning or late evening project calls).
- Education: Bachelor's degree in a related field (Computer Science, Information Technology, Business Administration) or equivalent professional experience.
Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Haves)
- Direct experience tracking or implementing Vulnerability Management initiatives.
- Familiarity with automation projects related to secure cloud or physical infrastructure rebuilds.
- Prior hands-on experience handling data center technology refresh cycles across multiple geographical sites.
- Experience with or exposure to Planview PPM tools during an enterprise software transition.
Project Logistics & Environment
- Work Environment: 100% remote. Total weekly hours remain anchored to a standard workweek, with a strict focus on schedule flexibility rather than overtime.
- Stability: Initial 6-month engagement with a deep pipeline of upcoming initiatives, optimized for professional contractors looking for long-term multi-year assignment stability.
- Interview Process: Fast-tracked 1 to 2 round interview format with technical and delivery owners. Immediate availability to start is preferred.
