Senior Network Project Manager

I'm supporting a major government organisation undergoing a significant network transformation and we're looking for a Senior Project Manager with real presence - someone who can take ownership of large, complex network programmes and keep multiple stakeholders aligned, engaged and moving in the right direction. This isn't a run-of-the-mill delivery role. You'll be leading a substantial upgrade programme involving wider network infrastructure change, with a blend of technical complexity, vendor management and organisational politics to navigate. We need someone who can bring structure, confidence and clarity to a fast-moving environment.

What you'll be driving: * End-to-end delivery of large-scale network upgrade projects. * Managing multiple challenging stakeholders - internal teams, senior leadership, vendors and SI partners * Bringing rigour, pace and quality to a multi-workstream programme * Working closely with technical leads to ensure plans, dependencies and risks are understood and managed * Protecting timelines, budgets and outcomes while keeping delivery on track * Ensuring governance, reporting and documentation meet organisational and security standards

Key Skills: Extensive experience of project managing network transformation & upgrades. Active SC Clearance will be beneficial., A seasoned Project Manager with significant experience in network transformation programmes * Strong understanding of enterprise network upgrades and associated infrastructure * Someone with natural gravitas - confident with senior stakeholders and able to influence without friction * Demonstrable experience working in secure, government or similarly regulated environments * A proactive, composed operator who can steady the ship, challenge appropriately and build credibility quickly * Security clearance is highly desirable; ability to obtain may be acceptable for the right person

If you've delivered major network programmes in a secure environment before and can bring both the technical understanding and presence needed to cut through complexity, I'd be happy to talk you through the details.
