This is not a general PM role. The successful candidate must have deep infrastructure knowledge and the credibility to challenge architects, engineers, vendors, and technical leaders.
Responsibilities • Lead complex infrastructure, cloud, networking, systems integration, and operational transformation projects • Define scope, dependencies, risks, timelines, resources, and technical requirements • Challenge architecture decisions and manage scope changes • Lead governance forums, steering committees, CAB, and technical working groups • Manage vendors, risks, priorities, budgets, and operational readiness • Ensure documentation, training, monitoring, runbooks, and rollback plans are complete before go live • Provide clear reporting to senior technical and business stakeholders

Preferred • PMP, ITIL, PRINCE2, SAFe, AWS, or Azure certification • Terraform or Ansible • Monitoring platforms such as SolarWinds, Datadog, or New Relic • Bilingual French and English • Experience in global 24/7 environments
Candidates must be able to work onsite at least three days per week in Toronto or Montréal and contract directly through GemTek as an independent contractor.
GemTek typically submits only one, and occasionally two, candidates per role. Please ensure your resume clearly shows the infrastructure projects you personally led, the technical scope you defined, and the measurable results achieved.
