SENIOR TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT MANAGER
Location; Newport Beach, CA
JOB DESCRIPTION

As a Senior Technical Infrastructure Project Manager within the company’s Infrastructure & Operations Tower, you'll lead the planning, execution, and delivery of complex infrastructure technology initiatives with a primary focus on End User Services (EUS) and Information Security & Operations, with secondary support for Network and working knowledge of Cloud and Compute initiatives. You will be embedded within the I&O Tower — one of the largest portfolios in the company’s Technology — supporting infrastructure modernization, identity and access management, endpoint/user services, resiliency, service transition, and operational readiness outcomes aligned to enterprise technology priorities.

This role requires more than traditional project coordination. We are looking for a consultative, technically fluent infrastructure PM who can facilitate technical working sessions, understand architecture and operational dependencies at a working level, ask probing and technically informed questions of engineers and architects, challenge assumptions, identify delivery gaps, and translate technical complexity into clear, executive-ready updates. The ideal candidate brings strong delivery experience across identity governance, IT service management, endpoint security, disaster recovery/business continuity, infrastructure readiness, cutover planning, and operational handoff.

• Develop and manage integrated project plans, technical workstream plans, milestones, dependencies, decision points, readiness criteria, and delivery risks across engineering, architecture, operations, security, and business stakeholders.
• Coordinate environment readiness, migration/cutover planning, change alignment, release coordination, validation activities, operational handoff, and service transition to ensure infrastructure solutions are production-ready and supportable.

STAKEHOLDER & GOVERNANCE MANAGEMENT

• Lead and influence stakeholders across engineering, architecture, operations, cybersecurity, service management, and business teams while balancing global standards with regional needs in a matrixed operating model.
• Serve as a liaison between Technology, Re, Corporate Functions, vendors, and delivery partners; build strong relationships with project sponsors and technical leaders to support timely decisions and delivery alignment.
• Manage scope, schedule, budget, resources, risks, issues, dependencies, assumptions, decisions, and change impacts; elevate barriers early and facilitate governance forums, project reviews, and steering committee discussions.
• Translate technical status, risks, readiness gaps, and delivery tradeoffs into clear project communications, executive summaries, KPIs, Power BI dashboards, and management committee updates.

RISK, READINESS, CHANGE & OPERATIONAL HANDOFF

• Drive infrastructure readiness planning, including technical prerequisites, operational acceptance criteria, support model alignment, service transition, runbook readiness, knowledge transfer, and production support handoff.
• Partner with change, release, service management, cybersecurity, and operations teams to ensure technical changes are sequenced, communicated, approved, validated, and transitioned effectively.
• Identify delivery process improvements, coach project team members on strong delivery discipline, and help raise the quality of planning, reporting, risk management, and execution across the Infrastructure Tower.
