    • Stakeholder Management: Build relationships, manage expectations, and communicate effectively with business leaders, technical teams, and end-users.
    • Risk & Change Management: Conduct risk assessments, develop mitigation strategies, and implement change management for smooth transitions during modernizations or migrations.
    • Budget & Vendor Management: Control project finances, optimize costs, and manage vendor contracts and relationships.
    • Process Improvement: Drive adoption of best practices, including DevOps, API integration, and ITIL, for enhanced mainframe operations.
    • Leadership: Motivate and guide multidisciplinary teams, ensuring clear direction and collaborative work environments.

    Required skills and qualifications

    • Proven experience managing large-scale mainframe projects (e.g. z/OS (preferred), AS/400)
    • Strong knowledge of mainframe technologies: COBOL, JCL, CICS, DB2, REXX
    • Proficiency in project management methodologies (Agile, Waterfall) and tools
    • Excellent communication, leadership and stakeholder engagement skills
    • Experience with modernization efforts (DevOps, Cloud, API integration)
    • Risk management, budgeting and vendor management capabilities
