• Manage implementation of VMware clusters, backup replication (Veeam / Commvault), and DR / failover setup in the new environment
• Coordinate with the Network/Security teams to implement WAN connectivity, VPN tunnels, VLANs, ACLs and firewall rule changes in line with security standards
• Work with the Cloud team on any hybrid migration components (AWS/Azure connectivity, direct connect, cloud landing zones)
• Manage third-party vendors and integrators, ensuring deliverables are on time and aligned with internal standards
• Schedule and coordinate UAT / migration rehearsals, dress rehearsals and production cut-over
