Our next PM will have demonstrated experience with projects that involve physical and logical networking, server, storage, low voltage data cabling and information security. Preference will be given to those who have worked in data center environments either directly for data center firms or in the data center environments of their prior companies. Additional weight is given to those who also have new facility construction experience. Please note, while we may occasionally use some agile/scrum tools or approaches, extensive agile/scrum experience is not required or expected.

• Lead working sessions, guide technical staff (key), organize requirements, implement risk management measures, facilitate resolution or escalate issues.
• As scheduled in the project, lead technical migrations during non-business hours or weekends.
• Anticipate bottlenecks and balance business needs versus technical constraints to move projects forward.
• Own communication for project delivery with management, vendors, customers and other stakeholders.
• Provide accurate, timely, clear project status reports that can be easily ingested by senior management.

• Demonstrated understanding of data center technology and information security.
• Strong presentation and facilitation skills. Clear oral and written communications capability.
• Self-motivated with the ability to effectively prioritize and execute tasks in a fast paced, high-pressure environment. Someone who takes initiative and does not wait to be told what to do.
• Ability to investigate ways to resolve issues prior to escalation – or come to management with proposed solutions if escalation is necessary.
• High degree of organization and attention to detail.
• Overall analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Strong interpersonal skills and relationship building skills. Friendly.
• Excellent customer service orientation. Wants to help.
• Good understanding of the organization’s goals and objectives.

What is not a good fit: (Considerations)

• If you do not have experience managing projects deploying or upgrading network hardware.
• If you only have software development experience.
• If your only experience is as a scrum master – this is not an scrum/agile position.
• If your only experience is managing work from a queue or ticketing system. The position requires bringing structure and organization to unstructured tasks. This is not a routing position.
