Think you have what it takes?
Technical owner of KR’s migration from Citrix DaaS on Nutanix to Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) managed through Nerdio, supporting approximately 760 users across the US and India. Core infrastructure is already built and working; this role validates the architecture against best practices, closes specific gaps, and leads production cutover. Operates independently, partnering with IT leadership, security, and application owners. Success means KR’s own team can confidently run the AVD environment after handoff. Documented knowledge transfer and working sessions are part of the job, not an afterthought. Note that this is a contractual role.
