Technical Project Manager

Responsibilities:

End-to-end infrastructure coordination

• Run IT projects involving network, security and device connectivity.
• Coordinate the technical work required when applications, devices or workloads move into the DS environment.
• Bring together all of the individual infrastructure/application teams required to execute a migration.

Testing & troubleshooting

• Make sure equipment and applications actually function once moved onto the new network.
• Drive testing in advance of migrations, which is an area currently consuming significant effort.
• Troubleshoot rollout issues across network, security, firewalls and connectivity rather than simply tracking them.
• Be willing to go onsite and physically test/connect with the teams when needed.

Application/workload migrations

• Help coordinate equipment residing on the DS network and an environment involving approximately 100 applications.
• Track migration activities and workload movements.
• Identify technical blockers and make sure the appropriate team is engaged to resolve them.

Firewall/security coordination

• Work closely with existing teams around DS/J&J restrictions.
• Coordinate firewall requirements because many systems remain hosted within J&J.
• Understand enough about firewalls, Client and Zscaler to drive troubleshooting and technical conversations.
• Support connectivity associated with migrating devices.

Program ownership & communication

• Bring the various technical teams together.
• Drive status reporting.
• Track movement activities and dependencies.
• Push issues toward resolution rather than simply documenting them.
• Provide clear ownership across workstreams where today there appears to be a gap.

Skill Set Needed

Must-have profile

• Technical Project Management background, not just general PM experience.
• Strong understanding of network/infrastructure projects.
• Working knowledge of:
  • Networking
  • Firewalls
  • Security
  • Device connectivity
  • Client
  • Zscaler
  • Application/workload migrations
• Strong technical troubleshooting orientation.
• Experience coordinating multiple infrastructure and application teams.
• Ability to manage deployments from planning/testing through rollout and stabilization.
• Comfortable providing executive/stakeholder status while also working directly with engineers.

Particularly valuable

• Divestiture / separation experience would be helpful because of the dependencies between DS and J&J.
• Experience managing environments where applications continue to reside in a legacy/parent environment while connectivity and workloads transition elsewhere.
• Ability to operate where ownership and operating-model responsibilities are still being established.

What is not required

• Ismael specifically indicated that manufacturing-site experience isn't necessary.

Location

• They want someone who can be local/on-site as needed in Massachusetts.
• This person needs to be able to physically go onsite to test, troubleshoot and meet with the teams.
• This should not be positioned as a purely remote PM role.
