Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Motion Recruitment is seeking a Senior Technical Infrastructure Project Manager to lead enterprise-wide technology infrastructure initiatives. The role will manage projects from initiation through closure, oversee schedules, budgets, risks, communications, and governance, and influence executive stakeholders and cross-functional technical teams without direct authority.
Responsibilities
- Lead and manage projects across the Technology Services — Infrastructure portfolio (Telecom and VoIP, endpoint management/Intune, Azure and cloud services, networking, virtualization, wireless, and data center) from initiation through closure, owning outcomes rather than administering status
- Build and maintain integrated work plans, schedules, budgets, resource plans, RAID logs, and PMO governance artifacts; hold owners accountable to committed dates
- Own the communications plan and reporting cadence — steering materials, executive briefings, escalation paths, and stakeholder updates
- Provide direction and influence to cross-functional technical teams, vendors, and subject-matter experts without direct reporting authority
- Apply structured change management to scope, requirements, and expectations, articulating trade-offs clearly enough that executives can decide
- Surface risk early, drive issues to resolution, and make the call when a decision is being avoided
Skills
- Education: Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. No substitution of experience for degree
- Experience: Minimum ten (10) years managing enterprise-wide IT projects. Experience must be as the accountable project manager, not as coordinator, analyst, or scrum master support
- Certification: Active Project Management Professional (PMP) certification ; certificate number and expiration date required at submission
- Leadership: Demonstrated record of leading cross-functional project teams and influencing senior stakeholders without direct authority
- Communication: Full professional proficiency in spoken and written English, sufficient to independently lead executive meetings, deliver presentations to senior leadership, and produce written materials without editorial support
- Location & Work Authorization: Must reside in and work from the continental United States for the full duration of the engagement, and be authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship, now or in the future
- Engagement Continuity: Candidate must be able and willing to commit to the full duration of the engagement. Resume must show a stable assignment history; a pattern of short-tenure engagements is disqualifying
- • Exceptional leadership ability — presence, credibility, and ownership; the single most important selection criterion
- • Executive communication and presentation skills — concise, confident, and effective with VPs and C-level stakeholders
- • Strong project management discipline — planning, tracking, and follow-through that does not require supervision
- • Demonstrated change management capability — navigating resistance, trade-offs, and pivotal scope decisions to sound outcomes
- • Portfolio Governance: Experience with portfolio-level governance — intake, prioritization, scoring, and trade-off decisions across a portfolio rather than a single project. A meaningful differentiator; this role is expected to contribute beyond project delivery
- • Technical Environment: Telecom and VoIP, endpoint management (Intune), Azure and cloud services, networking, virtualization, wireless, data center, and related infrastructure projects
- • Methodology: Working familiarity across waterfall, Agile (Scrum, SAFe), and hybrid delivery, with the judgment to apply the right approach to the work at hand
- • Industry: Experience in a multi-disciplinary healthcare or academic research environment. Important, though not required
- • Business Analysis: Ability to understand complex technical subject matter well enough to challenge estimates and assumptions
- • Tooling: ServiceNow PPM, Azure DevOps, or JIRA. Not a selection driver
Benefits
- 100% remote
