Job Description

Mirantis helps organizations achieve digital self-determination by giving them full control over their strategic infrastructure. We combine intelligent automation with deep cloud-native expertise to help enterprises build, operate, and scale modern platforms—from data center to edge. Our clients include some of the world’s most innovative enterprises, and increasingly rely on us to deliver not only cloud platforms, but also AI-driven and data-centric solutions that transform how they operate. 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

Qualifications

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)
• Ability to thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments, especially where solutions are being defined in parallel with delivery
• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills
• A pragmatic, outcome-driven mindset - you focus on delivering value, not just managing tasks
• Comfort managing projects where success is iterative and hypothesis-driven, rather than fully predefined

Nice to Have

• Experience with Kubernetes, OpenStack, or similar infrastructure platforms
• 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
• Comfort managing projects where success is iterative and hypothesis driven, not necessarily pre-determined

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 t
