Key Job Responsibilities

n

● Managing complex cloud migration and implementation projects.

n

● Leveraging comprehensive knowledge of cloud services to be able to hold conversations with solution architects and own strategic planning.

n

● Bridging business requirements with technical solutions, facilitating engineering discussions and ensuring alignment with customer business outcomes.

n

● Liaising with solution architects to ensure distilling of customer needs into clear technical requirements and mapping them to business outcomes.

n

● Defining documentation standards.

n

Team Coordination

n

● Leading daily stand-ups, sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives using Agile/Scrum methodologies.

n

● Coordinating cross-functional engineering teams to maintain sprint velocity and delivery cadence across concurrent migration workstreams.

n

Risk & Dependency Management

n

● Tracking project performance, managing resource allocation, and proactively mitigating risks related to microservices dependencies, system performance, and scope creep.

n

● Maintaining risk and dependency registers, escalating blockers, and driving mitigation plans to closure.

n

Communication

n

● Acting as the primary point of contact between engineering teams and non-technical stakeholders, translating deeply technical updates into transparent business progress.

n

● Producing regular status reports, steering committee updates, and executive-level summaries of program health.

n





● Engaging directly and credibly with solution architects on migration design decisions, acting as a quality gate for migration design completeness.

Client & Engagement Management

n

● Owning the overall scope, budget, and timeline of the engagement, applying business and financial acumen to manage change requests and protect margin.

n

● Serving as a strategic partner to the client, building trust with executive and technical stakeholders and managing expectations throughout the engagement lifecycle.

Accountability & Delivery Follow-Through

n

● Proactively chasing task owners on outstanding action items, overdue tickets, and at-risk deliverables, escalating firmly and promptly when commitments slip.

n

● Owning a ticket system as the system of record for sprint and program work: creating and grooming well-formed tickets, keeping boards current, and using it to drive (not just report) delivery.

n

● Driving documentation quality and completeness on a wiki, holding engineering and architecture teams accountable for keeping runbooks, design docs, and decision records current.

n

Basic Qualifications

n

● Experience in cloud computing, with direct exposure to large-scale AWS migration or implementation environments.

● Demonstrated hands-on experience running Agile/Scrum ceremonies (stand-ups, sprint planning, backlog grooming, retrospectives).

n

● Working technical fluency: able to converse knowledgeably about core AWS services (e.g. EC2, VPC, S3, IAM), with a general working understanding of infrastructure-as-code concepts (e.g. Terraform, Cloud Formation). Deep hands-on IaC authoring is not required, but candidates who describe themselves as "not technical" will not be considered.

n

● Daily hands-on use of a ticket system for backlog, sprint, and dependency management, and of a wiki for documentation.

n

● Able to communicate effectively, in both technical and business settings, with internal teams and client stakeholders.

n

Preferred Qualifications

n

● AWS experience preferred, ideally including large-scale cloud migration or operations engagements.

n

● At least one active project management certification (e.g., PMP, PMI-ACP, PRINCE2, Certified Scrum Master).

n

● General subject-matter overview of cloud infrastructure, enough to follow architecture and engineering conversations.

n

● Proven ability to establish technical credibility with engineering teams and senior technical decision-makers, including solution architects, at a peer level.

n

● Experience with IT compliance and risk management requirements (e.g. security, privacy, data residency) in a client-delivery context.

n

● Proven track record of increasing project scope and complexity, with deep knowledge of Agile and Scaled program management best practices and how to pragmatically apply them across large, complex projects.

n

● A track record of holding distributed teams accountable to deadlines without needing constant management escalation.
