- Coordinate with the client's dedicated VMware migration team during the migration phase
- Document operational procedures and migration activities
Required Qualifications:
- 5+ years of hands-on VMware vSphere administration/engineering in enterprise environments (inferred — confirm with client)
- Experience executing large-scale VM workload migrations
- Familiarity with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) concepts and architecture
- Ability to work on-site in Jersey City, NJ at least 50% of the time
- Strong communication skills for a client-facing, embedded-team role
Preferred Qualifications:
- Direct VCF 4.x/5.x/9.x migration or deployment experience
