Company description
For our client, an important banking institution, we are looking for an IT Infrastructure Project Manager.
Description
Hands-On Infrastructure Delivery
Lead the technical execution of infrastructure projects from design through implementation and go-live;
Actively review and validate low-level designs, build documents, and configuration plans;
Translate business and application requirements into concrete infrastructure solutions;
Ensure infrastructure components are correctly built, integrated, secured, and tested;
Participate directly in technical discussions, troubleshooting, and implementation planning.
Project Planning & Execution
Define and manage project scope, timelines, milestones, deliverables, and dependencies;
Create realistic project plans based on actual technical effort and constraints, not theoretical estimates;
Coordinate day-to-day activities across network, systems, security, database, and middleware teams;
Track progress, risks, and issues and take corrective actions when delivery is at risk;
Drive projects through cutover, migration, and production go-live phases.
Technical Coordination & Integration
Serve as the technical glue between infrastructure domains:
Network (Cisco routing, switching, firewalls);
Systems (UNIX/Linux, Red Hat, IBM AIX, Windows);
Platform & Virtualization (VMware, OpenShift, Kubernetes);
Cloud (AWS, Azure, hybrid connectivity);
Security (network security, segmentation, access control);
Ensure end-to-end infrastructure integration works in practice, not just on paper;
Validate that solutions meet requirements for availability, performance, security, and supportability.
Operational Readiness
Ensure monitoring, logging, backup, patching, and operational procedures are in place before go-live;
Work closely with operations and support teams to ensure clean handover to run;
Identify and resolve technical debt or design gaps during project delivery;
Support post-implementation stabilization and issue resolution.
Stakeholder & Vendor Interaction
Work directly with engineers, architects, security teams, and application owners;
Act as a technically credible counterpart to vendors and system integrators, challenging assumptions and deliverables;
Provide clear, factual status updates based on real technical progress.
Requirements
6+ years of hands-on infrastructure engineering experience;
3+ years in a technical project lead or infrastructure project manager role;
Experience in mission-critical or regulated environments (e.g., financial services) is an advantage;
Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience;
Proficient in both verbal and written English;
Project management certification (PMP, PRINCE2, IPMA) is a plus, not a substitute for technical depth;
Technical certifications (Cisco, Red Hat, VMware, Cloud, Kubernetes) are highly valued.
