Project & Technical Leadership

• Lead the technical execution of complex infrastructure and cloud projects from planning through implementation.
• Manage milestones, dependencies, risks, issues, and technical deliverables across multiple stakeholders.
• Provide technical direction to engineering teams and contribute to architectural and technology decisions.
• Influence teams and stakeholders without relying solely on direct authority.

Monitoring, Security & Operations

• Leverage enterprise tools for infrastructure monitoring, security, vulnerability management, logging, analytics, and service management.
• Experience with technologies such as Rapid7, CrowdStrike, Ivanti, Elasticsearch, Splunk, Dynatrace, Power BI, Jira, and ServiceNow is highly desirable.
• Support ITIL-aligned operational processes and continuous service improvement.
• Promote infrastructure security, availability, performance, and operational resilience.

Data & Reporting

• Analyze infrastructure, cost, inventory, performance, capacity, risk, and operational data to identify trends and improvement opportunities.
• Develop reports, dashboards, and presentations for technical and executive stakeholders.
• Use advanced Excel and data analysis skills to reconcile information and support technology decisions.

Collaboration & Communication

• Partner with Architecture, Security, Applications, Development, Operations, and business teams.
• Clearly communicate complex technical concepts, project status, risks, recommendations, and business impacts.
• Develop and maintain accurate technical documentation, architecture diagrams, standards, and operational procedures.
• Provide mentoring and technical guidance to other engineers.
