Project Manager (Client Delivery - AI & Cloud)

The Role We’re looking for a client-facing Project Manager who can lead the delivery of complex, multidisciplinary initiatives across cloud, platform, and AI domains. This is not a traditional project coordination role. You will operate as a delivery leader and trusted advisor, working directly with clients to shape, guide, and execute high-impact programs - often in fast-evolving and ambiguous environments. You’ll partner closely with engineers, architects, and client stakeholders to translate business goals into executable plans, while ensuring delivery excellence and long-term customer success.   What You’ll Do • Lead end-to-end delivery of client-facing projects across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and AI/data initiatives • Act as the primary point of contact for clients, building trust and guiding them through complex technical programs • Translate business objectives into clear delivery plans, aligning stakeholders across client and internal teams • Work closely with engineering teams to understand technical tradeoffs, dependencies, and risks to drive execution • Manage delivery in iterative and evolving environments, especially for projects where scope and outcomes may develop over time • Proactively identify risks, issues, and dependencies, and drive practical, outcome-oriented resolutions • Ensure strong financial and commercial management of projects, including scope control, change management, and margin awareness • Facilitate clear, concise communication across all levels, including executive stakeholders • Contribute to account growth by identifying follow-on opportunities and helping shape new engagements • Continuously improve delivery practices, bringing structure where needed while maintaining flexibility for innovation What You Bring • 5+ years of experience managing client-facing technical projects in a professional services or consulting environment • Proven ability to lead complex, cross-functional programs with distributed teams • Strong client presence with the ability to influence stakeholders and operate as a trusted advisor • Solid technical fluency - you can “speak engineering” and understand how systems are built, even if you’re not hands-on • Experience working in cloud-native environments (e.g., Kubernetes, containers, distributed systems) • Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills, coupled with a proactive approach to risk identification and mitigation • A pragmatic, outcome-driven mindset - you focus on delivering value, not just managing tasks • Comfortable working in fast-paced environments where requirements and solutions are iteratively defined and refined alongside delivery.   Nice to Have • Experience with Kubernetes, OpenStack, and hybrid cloud infrastructure • PMP or equivalent certification • Experience with proposal development or pre-sales support • Familiarity with modern delivery tools and agile methodologies • Experience delivering or supporting AI/ML, data platform, or automation projects • Familiarity with concepts such as LLMs, data pipelines, model lifecycle, or experimentation workflows   What Success Looks Like • Clients view you as a trusted partner, not just a project manager • Projects are delivered with high quality, strong client satisfaction, and clear business outcomes • You effectively bridge business goals and technical execution • You help expand engagements through credible delivery and proactive insight • You bring structure without slowing down innovation - especially in AI-driven work What does Mirantis offer you? • Work with an established Silicon Valley leader in the cloud infrastructure industry. • Work with exceptionally passionate, talented and engaging colleagues, helping Fortune 500 and Global 2000
