Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced IT Project Manager to support several high-priority technology integration and infrastructure initiatives following the combination of two organizations.
This individual will lead the day-to-day project management of multiple concurrent workstreams, including a Microsoft 365 environment migration and consolidation, identity/SSO integration, and managed service provider transition.
The ideal candidate is a traditional project manager with a strong background in IT infrastructure, cloud environments, technology migrations, and service provider transitions. This is not a hands-on engineering role, but candidates should be technically fluent enough to understand infrastructure concepts, communicate effectively with technical teams, identify dependencies and risks, and keep complex projects moving forward.

Responsibilities

• Manage multiple concurrent IT infrastructure and integration projects from planning through implementation and cutover.
• Coordinate the consolidation and migration of separate Microsoft 365 environments into a unified environment.
• Support identity and access management initiatives involving SSO and Microsoft Entra ID.
• Coordinate migration activities involving email, shared information, applications, and other Microsoft-based services.
• Partner closely with technical workstream leads, third-party vendors, consultants, and business stakeholders.
• Manage the transition from existing IT service providers to a new Managed Service Provider (MSP).
• Coordinate vendor onboarding, knowledge transfer, transition planning, dependencies, and implementation timelines.
• Build and maintain project plans, timelines, milestones, action items, risks, and dependencies.
• Keep technical teams and external partners accountable to deliverables and deadlines.
• Facilitate project meetings and provide clear, concise communication to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Identify potential roadblocks early and work across teams to keep projects on track.
• Support migration and implementation activities that may occasionally take place outside of standard business hours.

Qualifications

• 5–10 years of IT project management experience, ideally supporting infrastructure, cloud, or enterprise technology initiatives.
• Experience managing Microsoft 365 migrations, integrations, or infrastructure transformation projects.
• Strong understanding of IT infrastructure concepts and the ability to effectively communicate with technical teams without needing to be a hands-on engineer.
• Experience coordinating projects involving SSO, identity/access management, Microsoft Entra ID/Azure AD, or similar technologies is highly valuable.
• Experience managing MSP, IT service provider, or vendor transitions strongly preferred.
• Previous experience supporting M&A integrations, company consolidations, or the integration of separate technology environments is a plus.
• Strong project planning, risk management, dependency management, and stakeholder communication skills.
• Comfortable working with distributed teams, third-party providers, and stakeholders across multiple time zones.
• Able to operate effectively in a fast-moving environment where priorities and requirements may evolve.
• Organized, proactive, adaptable, and able to remain level-headed when projects encounter challenges.

Ideal Profile
The strongest candidate will be someone who has previously stepped into a complex IT environment and successfully coordinated infrastructure migrations or integrations across multiple teams and vendors. They should be comfortable bringing structure and accountability to a fast-moving project without creating unnecessary process. Experience within media, events, or a similarly fast-paced organization is helpful but not required.
