We are seeking an experienced Technology Project Manager to plan, coordinate, and deliver infrastructure engineering initiatives across our network and server environments. This role sits at the intersection of Cisco-based network engineering, Windows/VMware server infrastructure, Azure cloud adoption, tightly integrated third-party connectivity, and active office facilities projects. The ideal candidate combines strong project management fundamentals with hands-on technical fluency across these domains and the organizational discipline to drive complex, multi-stakeholder workstreams from initiation through closure.
Key Responsibilities
Project Planning and Delivery
· Lead end-to-end project lifecycles for network and server engineering initiatives, including upgrades, migrations, capacity expansions, and new platform deployments.
· Define project scope, objectives, milestones, and resource requirements in collaboration with engineering leads and business stakeholders.
· Develop and maintain detailed project plans, risk registers, and status reporting cadences appropriate for infrastructure initiatives.
· Manage project timelines and vendor delivery commitments in coordination with IT Procurement teams.
· Apply Agile and Waterfall methodologies as appropriate to the nature of each initiative; use hybrid approaches for phased infrastructure rollouts.
Network Engineering Projects
· Coordinate delivery of Cisco-based network projects including campus and data center switching, routing, SD-WAN, and firewall deployments.
· Manage scheduling and sequencing of network changes to minimize service disruption, coordinating with the Change Advisory Board (CAB) as required.
· Facilitate integration planning between network infrastructure and third-party connectivity partners.
· Track and communicate project milestones to network engineering teams, senior leadership, and external vendors.
Server and Compute Projects
· Manage infrastructure projects spanning Windows Server environments, VMware virtualization platforms, and Dell hardware lifecycle activities.
· Coordinate the firm’s transition from on-premises VMware infrastructure to Azure and Azure Local, ensuring workload migration projects are sequenced and executed with minimal business disruption.
· Partner with Cloud Platform Engineering to align server project timelines with Azure adoption roadmap milestones.
· Oversee hardware refresh cycles and data center operations projects in coordination with facilities, vendors, and engineering teams.
Facilities and Construction Project Coordination
San Francisco Office Modernization — A major multi-floor renovation initiative requiring infrastructure engineering planning and execution for network, cabling, and systems work across construction phases. On-site presence at the SF office will be required at key project milestones throughout the construction lifecycle.
Boston Office Relocation — A floor-to-floor office move requiring infrastructure coordination for network and systems cutover, with remote project management as the primary delivery mode and on-site travel only if required.
Third-Party Connectivity Coordination
· Serve as the primary project coordination point for infrastructure initiatives involving third-party service providers, including Bloomberg, Charles River Development (CRD), Eagle Investment Systems, State Street, and similar financial-services connectivity partners.
· Manage external project timelines, technical onboarding requirements, and circuit or connectivity provisioning processes with third-party technical counterparts.
· Coordinate internal network and server engineering resources to meet third-party integration deadlines and service-level requirements.
· Maintain a current inventory of third-party connectivity dependencies and proactively surface scheduling risks related to vendor timelines.
Stakeholder Management and Communication
· Prepare and deliver project status updates, milestone summaries, and escalation briefings for senior leadership, including the CTO and infrastructure management.
· Facilitate project meetings, working sessions, and go/no-go checkpoints with technical teams and business stakeholders.
· Identify, document, and actively manage project risks, issues, and dependencies across workstreams.
· Translate technical scope and delivery status into clear, non-technical language for business stakeholders.
Process and Documentation
· Maintain comprehensive project documentation in Jira and Confluence, including project charters, decision logs, working agreements, RAID registers, and closure reports.
· Ensure infrastructure changes are coordinated through the ITIL change management process and align with ServiceNow workflows.
· Contribute to the continuous improvement of project delivery practices within Infrastructure Engineering.
· Support retrospectives and lessons-learned sessions to build institutional knowledge.
Required Qualifications
· 5 years of project management experience in technology environments, with a focus on network or server/compute infrastructure.
· 5 years of experience managing Cisco network infrastructure projects (routing, switching, firewall, SD-WAN).
· 3 year of experience with Windows Server, VMware vSphere/vSAN, and Dell compute platforms sufficient to translate technical scope into project deliverables.
· 3 years of experience managing cloud migration or hybrid infrastructure projects; Azure familiarity strongly preferred.
· 3 years of experience coordinating infrastructure integrations with third-party service providers, ideally in financial services environments.
· 3 years of experience with Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence) for work management and documentation.
· Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field.
Preferred Qualifications
· Strong analytical, organizational, and written communication skills.
· Relevant certifications: PMP, CSM (Certified Scrum Master), PMI-ACP, SAFe, or equivalent.
· Familiarity with Azure Local (Azure Stack HCI) and hybrid cloud architectures.
· Experience with ITIL frameworks and ServiceNow-based change and incident management processes.
· Background in financial services technology environments, including exposure to Bloomberg, CRD, Eagle, or similar platforms.
· Experience with network capacity planning, circuit procurement, or colocation/data center operations projects.
· Experience coordinating technology infrastructure work within active office construction or facilities relocation projects.
· Exposure to infrastructure automation tooling (Terraform, Ansible, or comparable IaC frameworks) sufficient to coordinate engineering deliverables.
