This is a high-visibility project management position for an autonomous professional who excels at cross-functional orchestration. You will serve as the primary liaison between cybersecurity teams, infrastructure operations, application architects, business stakeholders, and external vendor partners to ensure strategic outcomes that enhance operational efficiency and security posture. If you possess a strong background in delivering complex enterprise security and infrastructure programs, we want to hear from you.

Planning & Scheduling: Develop and maintain integrated project plans, detailed schedules, milestone tracking, resource forecasts, and dependency maps.
Governance & Control: Establish robust project governance, control mechanisms, executive status reporting, and structured escalation pathways.
Steering Oversight: Facilitate steering committee meetings and provide executive-level status updates on deployment progress, risk mitigation, and business outcomes.

Financial, Scope & Vendor Management
Budget Oversight: Manage project budgets exceeding $500,000, tracking labor plans, vendor expenditures, and financial forecasts through formal governance reviews.
Vendor & SOW Management: Serve as the primary engagement lead for external software vendors, consultants, and professional services partners, managing Statements of Work (SOWs) and performance deliverables.
Legacy Migration: Coordinate complex migrations from legacy tools and processes to modern enterprise platforms, overseeing endpoint onboarding, testing, validation, and production rollouts.

Risk, Compliance & Quality Assurance
Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify, assess, and mitigate project risks, technical challenges, and schedule dependencies using structured RAID logs.
Regulatory Alignment: Ensure project deliverables comply with stringent cybersecurity, audit, SOX, NERC, and organizational standards.
