AHEAD builds platforms for digital business. By weaving together advances in cloud infrastructure, automation and analytics, and software delivery, we help enterprises deliver on the promise of digital transformation.

At AHEAD, we prioritize creating a culture of belonging, where all perspectives and voices are represented, valued, respected, and heard. We create spaces to empower everyone to speak up, make change, and drive the culture at AHEAD. 

We are an equal opportunity employer, and do not discriminate based on an individual's race, national origin, color, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, marital status, or any other protected characteristic under applicable law, whether actual or perceived. 

We embrace all candidates that will contribute to the diversification and enrichment of ideas and perspectives at AHEAD. 

We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead large‑scale, complex network and infrastructure initiatives across the enterprise. This role requires strong program ownership, stakeholder management, and network/data center domain understanding to successfully deliver critical network transformation programs such as WAN/LAN modernization, data center migrations, cloud connectivity, and network security initiatives.

The ideal candidate will act as the single point of accountability (SPA) for all projects, ensuring delivery within scope, time, budget, and quality while managing risks, vendors, and cross‑functional dependencies.

  • Own end‑to‑end delivery of network infrastructure projects and programs, from initiation through closure.
  • Develop and maintain comprehensive project plans, schedules, RAID logs, and governance artifacts.
  • Manage complex dependencies across infrastructure, security, application, and business teams.
  • Lead project execution using Waterfall, Agile, or Hybrid methodologies as appropriate.
