Full Description

Job Description Mirantis helps organizations achieve digital self-determination by giving them full control over their strategic infrastructure. We combine intelligent automation with deep cloud-native expertise to help enterprises build, operate, and scale modern platforms-from data center to edge. Our clients include some of the world's most innovative enterprises, and increasingly rely on us to deliver not only cloud platforms, but also AI-driven and data-centric solutions that transform how they operate. The Role We're looking for a client-facing Project Manager who can lead the delivery of complex, multidisciplinary initiatives across cloud, platform, and AI domains. This is not a traditional project coordination role. You will operate as a delivery leader and trusted advisor, working directly with clients to shape, guide, and execute high-impact programs - often in fast-evolving and ambiguous environments. You'll partner closely with engineers, architects, and client stakeholders to translate business goals into executable plans, while ensuring delivery excellence and long-term customer success.
