High-stakes 3-6mo contract in Auckland. Lead a rapid Azure cloud migration, manage engineers, & drive pace with a talented CIO!
Why You’d Like It
If you thrive in high-accountability environments where you can truly own the delivery, this contract will hit the sweet spot. This is a highly visible, critical migration project where your ability to navigate challenging stakeholder dynamics and drive operational momentum will be front and centre. No corporate fluff here; just a pure, fast-paced execution.
The Story
A major education provider is currently undergoing a massive transformation to consolidate its services into a single entity. To make this happen, they need to execute a rapid on-premises data centre exit and migrate to a greenfield Azure cloud environment. The foundation is being laid right now, and they need a heavyweight contract PM to step in, establish immediate control, and ensure the engineering teams hit their milestones.
Company Profile
You will be representing a leading strategic transformation partner, embedded directly within one of their key clients. The environment is highly collaborative and personality-oriented, valuing direct, face-to-face engagement over endless email chains. It is a culture that rewards transparency, backbone, and the confidence to have difficult conversations when timelines are at risk.
Your Role
As the Project Manager, you will lead the delivery team; including a Cloud Architect and DevOps Engineers, reporting directly to a highly driven, execution-focused CIO. Your main focus is driving the rapid discovery, landing zone readiness, and infrastructure migration to Azure.
You are a seasoned Project Manager who doesn't get easily rattled. You have a proven track record of delivering complex infrastructure migrations (on-prem to cloud) within strict frameworks, and you know how to manage highly driven corporate stakeholders. You are comfortable being on-site, working closely with the business, and leading from the front to hit a 3-to-6-month delivery target.
