Senior Infrastructure Project Manager

About the role

Gcore, a global provider of infrastructure and software for AI, cloud, network and security, is looking for a Senior Infrastructure Project Manager. The role runs projects that deploy and change Gcore infrastructure, from intake through hand-over to operations and formal closure. It suits someone who already runs complex projects end-to-end, makes operational decisions without day-to-day oversight and resolves priority and resource conflicts on their own.

Key responsibilities

• Own projects end-to-end: set up the project in Jira, break it down into tasks, build a realistic schedule and identify the critical path and key risks at kick-off.
• Coordinate linked tasks across teams (architecture, procurement, on-site installation, repair and replacement) and report on active tickets.
• Make operational decisions within the project and escalate only matters outside your authority, with recommendations.
• Estimate and approve the project budget at initiation, benchmark it against past projects, track approvals and reconcile plan versus actuals at closure.
• Brief the infrastructure architects on BoM, rack layout, power and network, and challenge designs that do not fit scope, timeline or budget.
• Raise procurement and logistics requests, track POs and deliveries, and escalate early when timelines are at risk.
• Manage on-site installation, handle discrepancies at acceptance and run the hand-over to Server and Network Operations, including acceptance testing and sign-off.
• Proactively manage risks, communicate with stakeholders, agree RACI boundaries and manage scope changes.
• Keep Jira statuses accurate, track lead time and WIP, and drive process improvements.

Required profile

• Minimum 3 years in project management in infrastructure, data centres, telecom or IT operations, including projects with multiple teams or vendors.
• Solid understanding of server and network hardware and data centre basics (racks, PDUs, power and cooling, switches, cross-connects, IP addressing).
• Ability to work with ambiguity and run several projects and workstreams in parallel.
• English at B2 or above, with strong communication skills for technical and non-technical audiences.

Required skills

• Jira (or equivalent) at project-administration level, linking tasks across projects.
• Nice to have: Kanban and lead time metrics, budget estimation for infrastructure projects, RACI experience, project management certification (e.g. PMP), and experience in a distributed international team.

What we offer

• Competitive compensation.
• Flexible working hours and hybrid or remote options.
• Work from anywhere in the world for up to 45 days per year.
• Private medical insurance for you and your family, extra paid vacation and sick leave, and support for life events.
• Language courses, modern offices with snacks and drinks, and team sports and social activities.
