We are currently looking for an Infrastructure Project Manager, who will independently run projects that deploy and change Gcore infrastructure - from intake through hand-over to operations and formal closure.

This is not a role for learning the basics: we expect someone who already runs projects end-to-end, makes operational decisions without constant oversight, and resolves priority and resource conflicts on their own.

Projects are initiated by internal product teams (CDN, Cloud, Edge AI, DDoS) or by Technical Support on behalf of external customers. At this level, the PM owns more than Jira tracking: the quality of the plan, realistic timelines, a sound budget estimate, risk management, and coordination of several parallel work streams: architects, procurement, logistics, data centre engineers, and operations teams.

We expect a PM to take on a technically and organisationally complex project - a large deployment at a new site, or a multi-vendor integration, and deliver it with minimal involvement from their manager, while proactively communicating status and risks.

Projects you will run:

PoP build-outs and colocation  - new sites, expansion of existing ones, racks and cage space in third-party data centers.

Server and network hardware deployments for internal product demand and for external customers (dedicated hardware, managed connectivity).

Capacity expansion, hardware refresh, and decommissioning.

Connectivity and interconnection procurement  - IP transit, cross-connects, dark fiber, wavelengths, leased lines, in coordination with the Peering team.

Migrations and relocations of physical equipment between sites.

 

What You'll Do:

End-to-end project ownership

Setting the project up in Jira ( GI master ticket), breaking it down into tasks, and building a realistic schedule that accounts for dependencies.

Identifying the critical path and key risks at kick-off - not waiting for your manager to do it for you.

Orchestrating linked tasks across counterpart teams' Jira projects: IDS (architecture), PRO (procurement), DCI (on-site installation), HDWR (repair and replacement). Knowing where the work physically lives, and reporting on the active linked tickets, not just the master ticket.

Making operational decisions inside the project yourself. Escalating only what sits outside your authority: budget, priorities between projects, conflicts with other departments.

Budget estimation and approvals

Initiating cost estimation at the Initiation stage: breakdown by NRC / MRC and by component (colocation, leased lines, hardware, small parts), benchmarked against comparable past projects and reference cost tables.

Driving the project through the approval chain, tracking approval turnaround, and handling objections.
