Senior M&A Technical Project Manager

The Senior Technical Project Manager is responsible for driving delivery of large, complex infrastructure programs, including the expansion of a secure Azure-based environment and the integration of acquired business entities into a common platform. You will operate at the center of execution—coordinating internal IT and cybersecurity teams alongside managed service providers and third-party partners—to ensure solutions are delivered on time, aligned to architecture standards, and ready for operational use.

How You Will Make An Impact:

• Lead delivery of large-scale infrastructure programs, including build out and continuous improvement of a secure Azure-based environment.
• Drive M&A integration initiatives, enabling newly acquired entities to onboard into a standardized infrastructure and collaboration platform.
• Serve as the primary point of coordination across internal IT, business stakeholders, and external MSP/MSSP partners.
• Lead third-party vendor and MSP execution, including:

1. Scope definition and alignment
2. Performance and delivery management
3. Dependency coordination and escalation
4. Acceptance of technical deliverables

• Oversee infrastructure delivery across key domains to ensure successful execution of the programs you are leading:

1. Azure landing zones, governance, and subscription strategy
2. Network architecture
3. Identity and access management
4. Endpoint management and security
5. Monitoring and logging
6. Data resiliency

• Establish and evolve a repeatable onboarding and integration framework for business units, including standards, templates, and validation processes.
• Drive development of technical documentation, architecture artifacts, and operational procedures.
• Lead testing, cutover planning, and go-live activities, ensuring smooth transition into steady-state operations.
• Provide executive-level reporting and governance, proactively managing risks, dependencies, and strategic tradeoffs.
• Manage program financials, including vendor spend, budgeting, forecasting, and cost optimization across business entities.
• Partner with cybersecurity and compliance teams to ensure alignment with required frameworks (e.g., CMMC/NIST), supporting audit readiness as part of broader delivery.

What You Will Bring To The Role:

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or other technical area.
• 7+ years of experience in technical project or program management, focused on infrastructure and enterprise IT initiatives.
• Proven track record delivering large, complex, multi-workstream infrastructure programs.
• Direct experience supporting M&A integration or multi-entity onboarding, particularly from an infrastructure and collaboration perspective.
• Strong experience managing managed service providers (MSPs), MSSPs, and third-party contract resources to execute technical delivery.
• Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure (Azure preferred) and enterprise IT domains, including networking, identity, endpoint management, and security.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams across IT, security, and business organizations.
• Experience translating technical and compliance requirements into structured execution plans and deliverables.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with experience engaging executives, engineering teams, and external partners.
• Experience managing budgets, vendor contracts, and financial reporting.
• Proficiency with project and collaboration tools (e.g., MS Project, SharePoint, Visio).

Additional Skills:

• Experience with Azure and Microsoft security ecosystem (Entra ID, Defender, Intune, Sentinel).
• Familiarity with compliance-oriented environments (e.g., CMMC, NIST 800-171), with emphasis on implementation support.
• Experience building or scaling secure, segmented enterprise environments.
• Background in developing standardized, repeatable infrastructure platforms.
• Certifications such as PMP, Azure (AZ-104/AZ-305), or security credentials (CISSP, CISM).
