Cloud Infrastructure Implementation Program Manager

Overview

This role has been designed as ‘Hybrid’ with an expectation that you will work on average 2 days per week from an HPE office.

The Cloud Infrastructure Implementation Program Manager leads global data center implementation programs enabling private cloud adoption, data center exit, and cloud migration/transformation. This role manages multi-region delivery across server, storage, and networking—from planning and build to migration, cutover, and stabilization—while running strong governance (scope, schedule, budget, RAID) and delivering clear, customer-ready communications.

• Lead global, multi-site data center/private cloud implementations, managing distributed teams across regions/time zones (compute, storage, network, security, facilities, and operations).
• Own the integrated program plan and execution playbooks (site readiness, build, migration waves, cutover, rollback, and hypercare) and manage dependencies/critical path.
• Run program governance: scope, schedule, budget, change control, RAID, and executive reporting; drive decisions and milestone accountability.
• Own customer/stakeholder engagement, including status cadence, expectation management, and go/no-go readiness for migrations and go-lives.
• Partner with engineers/architects to validate designs and lead implementation, testing, and go-live across servers, storage, networking, and security.
• Lead data center exit/consolidation and cloud migrations, including discovery/dependency mapping, migration strategy, cutover, decommissioning, and CMDB/asset updates.
• Standardize delivery templates/metrics, capture lessons learned, and continuously improve execution across regions.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.
• 10+ years leading global infrastructure programs across data centers and/or private cloud implementations.
• Hands-on experience across compute/servers, enterprise storage, and networking delivery.
• PMP (PMI) certification required; ITIL/Agile certifications are a plus.
• Experience delivering data center exit and cloud migration/transformation programs across geographies.
• Strong customer management and executive communication skills.
• Must have proven experience working effectively with globally distributed teams.

• Data center delivery expertise (site readiness, rack/stack/cable, provisioning, integration).
• Migration/cutover leadership (wave planning, runbooks, change windows, rollback, hypercare).
• Strong program management: IMS, RAID, financials, resourcing, and dependency management.
• Ability to coordinate cross-domain teams and vendors (compute, storage, network, security, operations).
• Working knowledge of private cloud/virtualization operating models and service readiness.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management; executive-ready status and decision facilitation.
• Proficiency with program tools (MS Project/Smartsheet), issue tracking (Jira), and documentation (Confluence/SharePoint).
• Willingness to travel globally up to 20% to support customer sites and key implementation milestones.
