Fountain Valley, CA

Full Time

Pandoblox

Senior Manager/Supervisor

ABOUT THE ROLE:

We’re looking for a Director of Program Management to own and drive our most complex, large-scale data center and cloud migration strategies. This is a senior leadership role, not just a "box checker." You are a strategic "builder" of process, a "force multiplier" who can create clarity from chaos and own a multi-year transformation from concept to completion.

You thrive in a fast-paced "startup mentality" where you can take full ownership. You have deep expertise in data center operations, complex infrastructure programs, and large-scale cloud transformations (AWS, Azure, GCP). You are a master of program governance, financial oversight, and executive-level communication.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

In this role, you'll get to...

Define the Enterprise Strategy: Drive the enterprise-wide strategy for data center migration, consolidation, and cloud adoption, aligning our technical roadmap with long-term business goals
Build the Program, Don't Just Run It: Develop and own the comprehensive program roadmap, business cases, and financial models to justify and track our transformation
Lead Program Governance: Establish and lead a robust governance framework (steering committees, workstreams) to ensure alignment and accountability across the entire organization
Own Execution and Delivery: Oversee the end-to-end execution of the migration program, managing scope, schedule, budget, and resources with minimal disruption to the business
Manage Financials and Vendors: Own the entire multi-million dollar program budget, from forecasting to tracking. Lead contract negotiations and manage key vendor and cloud provider relationships
Be the Executive Communicator: Serve as the primary point of contact for all program communications, building strong relationships and delivering clear updates to C-suite and business leaders
Perform other ad hoc duties related to the role as assigned

REQUIREMENTS:

On day one, we'll expect you to...

have 15+ years of experience in IT Project/Program Management, with a deep background in data center operations, network engineering, or enterprise systems
have 10+ years of experience in a formal Program Management role, with a proven track record of leading large-scale, complex enterprise-wide technology initiatives
have 7+ years of direct, hands-on experience planning and executing large-scale data center migrations, consolidations, or cloud transformations
have extensive experience in a senior leadership role, with demonstrated ability to influence and negotiate at the executive level
have deep understanding of data center infrastructure (power, cooling, networking) and application migration methodologies
have a "builder" mindset and a "startup mentality" – you are here to build the function, not just operate in a pre-defined one
have an exceptional leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills
have strong financial acumen and experience managing large, complex budgets
have Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or a related field
have a fully functional and up-to-date computer with which to perform duties
be willing to install next generation end point protection on the computer
