We are looking for a highly analytical and technically strong Technical Project Manager to support the design and execution of cloud adoption initiatives across all 10+ APAC countries. This role requires someone who can translate strategic cloud direction from global headquarters into practical, scalable, and cost-conscious implementation plans for the region. The ideal candidate will combine technical depth (Infrastructure), structured problem-solving, strong communication skills, and executive-level presentation capability. The person will work closely with regional leadership, country teams, architecture teams, infrastructure/platform teams, and global stakeholders to shape actionable cloud adoption roadmaps using existing technology refresh investment wherever possible.

Key Responsibilities:

Cloud Strategy Translation & Solution Structuring

• Understand cloud strategy, architectural direction, and transformation priorities coming from global headquarters.

• Translate central strategy into pragmatic regional implementation models suitable for APAC environments.

• Assess existing infrastructure, application landscapes, platform capabilities, and country constraints to identify practical adoption opportunities.

• Help define cloud adoption building blocks, target-state patterns, and reusable implementation approaches across countries.

• DevSecOps Practices: Partner with CIO DevSecOps expert to track DORA metrics and drive continuous improvement.

Budget-Conscious Transformation Planning

• Work closely with regional teams to align cloud adoption plans with existing technology refresh budgets or to highlight budget requirements with relevant ROI.

• Strong proficiency in Excel with the ability to perform financial analysis, track budget, model investment scenarios and support cost-conscious decision-making.

• Identify opportunities to leverage planned refresh cycles to accelerate cloud modernization without creating unnecessary incremental spending.

Required Experience:

• Strong experience in technical project/program management within infrastructure, cloud transformation, platform engineering, or enterprise architecture environments.
• Good understanding of cloud adoption, cloud migration patterns, infrastructure modernization, automation, DevSecOps, and platform engineering concepts.
• Ability to engage technically with architects and engineers while also translating discussions into business-ready decisions.
• Experience working across multiple countries, distributed teams, and regional/global governance models.
