📍 Zurich, Switzerland

Role and responsibilities

Join Kyndryl as a Data Centre Consolidation Lead and become a catalyst for innovation and transformation. In this role, you'll be at the forefront of driving change and enabling our customers to harness the power of technology to achieve their wildest ambitions. As a trusted advisor, you'll forge strong relationships with our customers, gaining deep insights into their business objectives and long-term aspirations. Armed with this understanding, you'll provide expert guidance on how technology can be leveraged to propel them towards unprecedented success. From aligning processes to technology to developing and deploying bespoke solutions, you'll be the visionary architect behind their digital transformation journey. Your expertise in data centre consolidation best practices will ensure seamless integration and optimized performance. You'll take full ownership of the end‑to‑end data centre consolidation strategy, transforming complex infrastructure environments into a unified, scalable ecosystem. With a sharp strategic lens, you'll define wave planning, orchestrate migration sequencing, and craft a seamless cutover approach that minimizes disruption and maximizes operational continuity. You'll drive the interlock with architecture teams to ensure target‑state designs are future‑proof, while partnering closely with sourcing to secure the right data centre and provider strategy. As the primary escalation point for migration risks and technical blockers, you'll bring clarity, structure, and decisive leadership to the most critical moments. You'll deliver the core assets that drive our data centre transformation: a clear data centre consolidation strategy with business‑case inputs, a structured wave plan and migration runbook, and precise cutover playbooks with rollback paths. You'll also maintain real‑time migration dashboards and risk logs to ensure visibility, alignment, and smooth execution.
