Head of Cloud Infrastructure

Role Overview:

As the H ead of Cloud Infrastructure, you will own the global roadmap and lifecycle of our cloud and hosting ecosystem. This is a high-impact leadership role responsible for the end-to-end journey: from the initial design and setup of scalable environments to the complex migration and continuous optimization of our global footprint.

A critical component of this role is bridging the gap between traditional Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT). You will ensure our cloud strategy supports the high-availability and low-latency demands of a modern global manufacturing environment.

Core Responsibilities

1. Global Strategy & Roadmap

Visionary Leadership: Define and execute a multi-year global cloud strategy (Public, Private, and Hybrid) that aligns with corporate growth and digital transformation goals.

Migration Stewardship: Lead the end-to-end migration of legacy on-premises workloads to the cloud, ensuring minimal disruption to manufacturing production lines.

Hosting Governance: Standardize hosting activities across global sites to ensure consistency, compliance, and security.

2. Design & Deployment

Architectural Excellence: Oversee the design of robust, secure, and scalable cloud landing zones tailored for industrial use cases (e.g., IoT integration, ERP hosting).

Manufacturing Integration: Design "Edge-to-Cloud" architectures that support factory-floor applications, ensuring data synchronization between local manufacturing execution systems (MES) and global cloud repositories.

3. Continuous Optimization

FinOps & Cost Management: Implement rigorous cloud cost management practices to optimize consumption and drive down the total cost of ownership (TCO).

Operational Resilience: Establish global standards for high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR), and site reliability engineering (SRE) to maintain 24/7 manufacturing operations.

Security & Compliance: Partner with the CISO to bake security into the infrastructure (Infrastructure as Code) and maintain compliance with global data sovereignty laws.

Key Requirements

Experience: 12+ years in Infrastructure, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role overseeing global cloud migrations.

Cloud Mastery: Expert-level knowledge of AWS, Azure, or GCP (Multi-cloud experience preferred).

Manufacturing Context: Proven experience managing infrastructure in a manufacturing or industrial environment; familiar with the constraints of factory-floor uptime and OT integration.

Technical Depth: Strong background in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Ansible), Kubernetes, and hybrid networking (SD-WAN, MPLS).

Change Management: Demonstrated ability to lead large-scale organizational change during mass migrations.
