The opportunity

We are seeking a manager who has led complex data center (including co-lo) and Cloud infrastructure transformation or migration programs in financial services or a similarly controlled environment. The individual must understand the infrastructure stack, the information required to move business-critical workloads safely, and the governance needed to coordinate facilities, network, compute, storage, applications, cyber, recovery and operations. This is not a general PMO position.

The work is focused primarily on banking, capital markets, insurance and payments clients. Selected assignments may include other highly regulated or mission-critical organizations where resilience, control, and disciplined execution are central to the client's agenda.

Your key responsibilities

Lead assessment of data center and Cloud hosted compute, virtualization, storage, network, load balancing, DNS/IPAM, backup, recovery, monitoring, security, platform and support dependencies.

Define or validate hosting, workload-placement, consolidation, exit and migration strategies across enterprise-owned data centers, colocation and cloud environments.

Direct discovery, CMDB reconciliation, dependency mapping, disposition decisions, migration-wave design, and detailed cutover planning.

Establish migration-factory and control-tower governance, including entry/exit criteria, wave plans, readiness evidence, RAID management, decision forums and executive reporting.

Lead planning for virtualization, physical, platform, storage, network, database and application moves, including rollback and continuity requirements.

Drive go/no-go decisions based on testing, connectivity, replication, security, observability, support coverage, recovery, business validation and change approvals.

Oversee cutover command, escalation, validation, hypercare, transition to operations, exit and decommission tracking.

Connect data center capacity, rack/room readiness, network availability and facility commissioning milestones to migration sequencing.

Advise leaders on service continuity, operational resilience, recovery objectives, concentration risk, dependencies and trade-offs.

Lead EY and client teams, economics, quality, methods, accelerators, proposals and market development.

Required experience and qualifications

Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, engineering, or related discipline.

At least 7 years of experience in enterprise infrastructure, data center or Cloud transformation, migrations, operations, resiliency or technology consulting.

Leadership on at least one complex Cloud or data center consolidation, exit, colocation move or infrastructure migration involving business-critical workloads.

Strong working knowledge across multiple infrastructure domains and the ability to identify cross-stack dependencies and operational risks.

Ownership of migration governance, wave planning, readiness, cutover, rollback, hypercare and transition to operations.

Public-cloud migration experience is relevant and is a substitute for data center infrastructure migration, consolidation and exit experience although experience with both is preferred

Experience communicating with senior technology, risk, business and operations stakeholders in a controlled change environment.

Required software and technical tooling
