• Documentation: Maintain accurate project plans, technical requirements, and post-mortems to ensure knowledge is shared and repeatable.

• Proven experience as a Project Manager or Program Manager in a technical, engineering-heavy environment.
• Strong ability to manage projects with multiple stakeholders, including 3rd-party vendors or strategic partners.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, virtualization (KVM, QEMU, libvirt), and networking concepts (BGP, OVS, automation frameworks) is a plus (not required to be an expert).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical details into clear business updates.
