#1014 - Project Manager

Job brief - Opportunity Only Available for professionals based in Tijuana, Mexico.

We are seeking an on-site, bilingual Project Manager to own the Infrastructure workstream in Tijuana, working hand-in-hand with other infrastructure PMs and SMEs. Phase 1 (cloud stabilization) is the near-term priority, and the modernization continues through later phases spanning very different domains – cloud migration, physical network deployments, identity, and end-user device and domain migration.

Responsibilities

• Integrated planning: Own the Infrastructure plan across all phases; break down the roadmap into clear milestones, tasks, owners, and dates, keep it aligned with the overall program plan, and track to it in the enterprise PPM tool.
• Dependency management: Proactively identify and manage cross-workstream dependencies (cloud build, network/SD-WAN/firewall, identity/IAM, security, HR systems, ERP, manufacturing systems) and escalate early with options
• Cross-project coordination: Work hand-in-hand with peer PMs on parallel initiatives (e.g., new facility build-out, HR system integration); maintain a shared view of interlocks, align milestones and cutover windows, and resolve conflicts jointly.
• Cloud migration execution: Drive environment readiness, application dependency assessments, testing (SIT/UAT), cutover and rollback planning, go/no-go readiness, and hypercare for migrated services.
• Vendor and SOW management: Coordinate multiple implementation partners; track SOWs, POs, and deliverables against plan.
• On-site stakeholder engagement: Serve as the local delivery lead with plant, IT, HR, and business teams in Tijuana; work directly with Spanish-speaking stakeholders and vendors to remove blockers quickly.
• Status and governance: Provide concise weekly status, RAID logs and milestone reporting to program leadership; bring issues forward with impact and recommended actions, without waiting to be asked.
• Operational transition: Ensure as-built documentation, runbooks, knowledge transfer and support hand-off to operations teams are completed and accepted.
• Financials: Track effort, vendor spend, and forecast-at-completion; flag variances early.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in IT, Engineering, Business, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Fluent English and Spanish (B2/C1 Level); able to run meetings and documentation in both
• 5+ years of hands-on IT infrastructure project management with direct ownership of delivery
• Delivery experience in at least two of: cloud migration, physical network deployments, end-user/endpoint and domain migrations – broader coverage is a strong plus
• Proven delivery of cloud migration projects – ideally Microsoft Azure (lift-and-shift / rebuild of servers and business applications, landing zones, cutover)
• Working knowledge of enterprise networking (SD-WAN, firewalls, IP addressing, DNS, domains/certificates) sufficient to plan and challenge technical teams
• Exposure to identity and access management (Active Directory, Entra ID, role-based access, HR-driven provisioning)
• Experience managing vendors and SOW-based delivery
• Based in Tijuana and able to work on-site at our facilities

Nice to Have

• PMP or equivalent certification; Azure Fundamentals or similar
