You will manage a team of migration engineers, coordinate closely with Sales, CON (Consulting/Implementation) teams, CLS (Customer Lifecycle/Success), and other cross‑functional stakeholders. Your focus is to deliver predictable, high‑quality migrations, avoid TUP extensions, and support pre‑sales POCs and infrastructure deployments that align with customer contracts.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end‑to‑end planning, execution, and completion of customer migrations in the Americas region. 
• Ensure migrations are completed within the agreed Transition Use Period; proactively identify and mitigate risks that could drive schedule extensions.

• Collaborate closely with Sales and Pre‑Sales to support Proof of Concept (POC) requirements, including environment setup, data migration, and technical validation. 
• Work with CLS/Customer Success to ensure the deployed infrastructure, configuration, and service levels match contractual obligations and support long‑term adoption. 
• Coordinate with Product, Engineering, and Operations teams on technical dependencies, platform capabilities, and improvement opportunities. 

Governance, Compliance & Quality  

• Ensure migration and POC environments are deployed in accordance with contractual terms, SLAs, security and compliance requirements. 
• Track and report on key metrics (e.g., on‑time migration completion, TUP extensions, customer satisfaction, defect rates). 
• Drive continuous improvement across migration processes, tooling, documentation, and templates. 
• Contribute to playbooks and knowledge bases that improve consistency and reduce delivery risk. 

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field; or equivalent practical experience. 
• 5+ years of experience in managing technical delivery teams in a SaaS, cloud, or enterprise software environment. 
• Proven experience leading complex customer migrations or implementations (on‑prem to cloud strongly preferred). 
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and stakeholders in a fast‑paced environment. 
• Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure concepts (e.g., virtualization, networking, storage, security, scalability).
