• Track application remediation, data migration, validation, testing, cutover, and decommissioning activities
• Establish and manage RAID logs (Risks, Actions, Issues, Decisions), project status reporting, and executive communications
• Identify project risks and dependencies and develop mitigation and contingency plans
• Coordinate multiple workstreams and technical teams to ensure activities remain aligned with the overall project schedule
• Manage change control, scope, deliverables, and project documentation
• Facilitate project meetings, working sessions, steering committee meetings, and executive status reviews
• Establish and track project KPIs and milestones related to migration completion and Hadoop shutdown
• Coordinate production cutover and decommissioning activities, including validation and post-migration support
• Ensure appropriate documentation, approvals, controls, and signoffs are completed before final environment retirement
• Communicate project progress, risks, issues, and decisions to senior leadership and stakeholders

Requirements:

• 7 years of IT Project Management experience managing complex technology initiatives
• Proven experience managing technology decommissioning and/or application/data migration projects
• Strong understanding of infrastructure, application, and data migration lifecycles
• Experience coordinating multiple technical teams and complex cross-system dependencies
• Experience managing large enterprise projects with multiple stakeholders and workstreams
• Strong experience with project planning, scheduling, RAID management, risk management, and executive reporting
• Excellent communication, organization, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills
