Sand Cherry Associates is seeking a Video Distribution Project Manager to lead planning, coordination, and delivery of a national CDN initiative for terrestrial video distribution across the United States.

The role partners with video engineering, network architecture, operations, customers, affiliates, vendors, and other stakeholders to translate strategy into executable plans and drive testing, readiness, deployment, and handoff.

Competenze

7+ years of project or program management experience leading complex technology, telecommunications, network, media, or infrastructure initiatives.
Demonstrated experience managing large, cross-functional technical programs from planning through testing, deployment, operational readiness, and handoff.
Working knowledge of large-scale video distribution, live and linear video delivery, CDNs, IP-based media transport, or distributed networks.
Experience coordinating technical work involving satellite-terrestrial distribution, headends, TAPs, receivers, packet recovery, media edge, or related video infrastructure is strongly preferred.
Understanding of terrestrial IP networking, traffic management, capacity planning, network resiliency, monitoring, and optimization concepts.
Experience managing integrated project plans, budgets, RAID logs, dependencies, change control, governance, status reporting, and executive communications.
Experience developing and coordinating test plans, deployment readiness, cutover activities, and operational transition for critical technology platforms.
Experience managing technology vendors and implementation partners.
Familiarity with ARQ, RIST-based transport, packet recovery networks, or VSF specifications is a plus.
Proven ability to understand the end-to-end video distribution ecosystem and connect technical delivery decisions to business outcomes.
Strong analytical, organizational, and decision-making skills with ability to manage competing priorities and make data-informed recommendations.
Excellent communication skills, including the ability to simplify complex technical issues for business and executive audiences.
Strong collaboration and stakeholder-management skills with the ability to influence teams without direct authority.
Proficiency with standard PM tools (MS Project, Excel, PowerPoint).
Successful completion of applicable background screening requirements
