• 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

• 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
