- Manage stakeholder expectations, ensuring clear communication on project status, risks, and issues.
- Ensure best practices for IT infrastructure are adhered to, and mitigate any potential technical risks.
- Provide regular updates and reports to senior management, ensuring alignment with the broader business objectives.
Key Requirements:
- Proven experience in IT project management with a focus on infrastructure and network upgrades, ideally in a manufacturing or distribution environment.
- Strong technical knowledge of Cisco DNA, SDN, and SD-WAN technologies.
- Demonstrable ability to manage large, complex projects, from planning through to delivery.
- Previous experience in managing domain controller and other infrastructure-related projects is a plus.
