We’re seeking an experienced IT Project Manager to join our Transformation team and lead data centre migration activities with a primary focus on CL (customer/location) applications. The successful candidate will own planning, governance, test programs, and stakeholder communications for application moves into the target DCC environment. This role requires hands‑on program coordination, strong application knowledge, and proven experience delivering data centre relocations—ideally within a 3PL or logistics environment.

- Act as primary application project manager within the Transformation team; prioritize CL applications and ensure alignment with program objectives.
- Develop, run, and oversee test programs (unit, system, integration, UAT), ensure test coverage and acceptance criteria, and certify project quality.
- Coordinate receipt of the target environment build, manage application installation, testing, defect resolution, and sign-off.
- Validate requirements with DCC and application teams to ensure target builds meet functional and operational needs.
- Facilitate communication and collaboration between CL COE application owners/stakeholders and the DCC Program team.
- Drive program alignment and governance in partnership with the CL PMO; manage status reporting, RAID logs, and change control.
- Track application-related progress, identify risks and issues, and escalate to the Program team with recommended mitigations.
- Work closely with Organizational Change Management (OCM) and DCC teams to support application and customer communications, cutover planning, and post-migration stabilization.
- Support timely completion of migration-related tasks and deliverables, ensuring minimal disruption to business operations.
Knowledge, Experience & Skills Requirements
- Relevant Bachelor’s degree or equivalent.
- 5+ years of IT project management experience, with demonstrable responsibility for data centre migrations or platform moves.
- Prior experience in a 3PL, logistics, or similarly complex operational environment strongly preferred.
- Hands-on experience managing application migrations and test programs (integration and UAT).
- Strong stakeholder management and communications skills; comfortable working with COE, PMO, infrastructure, and business owners across multiple countries/time zones.
- Solid understanding of infrastructure builds, application deployment processes, and environment validation.
- Proven ability to manage multiple streams, maintain governance, and escalate effectively.
- Experience with program tools (project scheduling, JIRA/ALM, test management) and maintaining RAID logs.
- Based in Europe, ideally the Netherlands.
May require flexibility to work with stakeholders in different time zones.
