Project Manager (Client Delivery - AI & Cloud) - Fully Remote USA

Mirantis is the Kubernetes-native AI infrastructure company, enabling organizations to build and operate scalable, secure, and sovereign infrastructure for modern AI and data-intensive applications. The role involves leading client-facing projects across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and AI/data initiatives, while acting as a trusted advisor to clients and ensuring delivery excellence.

Responsibilities:

• 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

• 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
• 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
