Delivery Manager - Infrastructure Transformation, New York

We are seeking a hands-on Infrastructure Transformation Lead to act as the single point of accountability for infrastructure delivery across a Tier 1 trading-platform transformation program.
The Lead is the "neck of the hourglass" - the one technical leader who takes demand from every workstream (Sybase?Oracle, Archiving & Retention, Workflow Decomposition, RADAR, Release Management, System Monitoring, Environment Management, Operational Dashboard, Storage Isolation and others) and converts it into agreed requirements, technical specifications and delivered infrastructure.
This is a working leadership role, not a status-reporting role.
The successful candidate will be accountable (A in RACI) for infrastructure outcomes, partnered with the Infrastructure Delivery Manager (R in RACI), challenged plans, refined requirements, and drove build-to-date.
Own the infrastructure plan.
Build it with the workstreams and the Infrastructure Delivery Manager at the outset; then own it - adjust, re-plan, and adapt as the work evolves
Translate workstream demand into infrastructure requirements.
Take workstream objectives, refine them into clear requirements, then agree detailed technical specifications with the delivery teams
Challenge and shape options.
Present good / better / best options to workstream leads; help them select pragmatically based on cost, time and risk
Drive delivery to milestones.
Track dependencies, identify risks, and drive the infrastructure build (compute, storage, network, virtualization, configuration) to date
Surface and resolve issues.
Proactively look across the program for blockers and dependencies between workstreams and infrastructure.
Own issues from identification to closure
Convene and chair the work.
Organize and chair infrastructure forums, working groups, and cross-workstream technical sessions.
Hold the cadence
Escalate with judgment.
Know what needs to go up and when.
Manage upward visibility without burning the chain unnecessarily
Own status, comms and schedule.
Drive delivery to schedule.
Manage stakeholder communications.
Produce a status that reflects reality
