Job description

We're recruiting an experienced IT Project Manager to join a major UK energy infrastructure organisation at a critical point in its transformation journey.

Based within the central IT PMO, this role will lead the delivery of complex IT transformation initiatives that support both operational resilience and long-term strategic change. A key focus will be post-migration optimisation following a recent Jira on-prem to cloud migration, alongside wider IT and data migration programmes from legacy platforms to cloud environments.

This role suits a Project Manager who is comfortable operating in high-change, high-stake environments, can quickly build credibility with senior stakeholders, and is known for clear, confident communication.

What you'll be doing

  • Leading medium to large-scale IT transformation projects across cloud, software, and legacy platforms
  • Driving post-migration optimisation, embedding best practice and improving ways of working
  • Owning end-to-end delivery: scope, plans, milestones, budgets, risks, and dependencies
  • Working closely with technical teams in a Scrum/Agile delivery environment
  • Providing clear, concise updates to senior stakeholders and governance forums
  • Proactively managing delivery risks in a regulated utility setting, ensuring continuity of service

Requirements

  • Proven experience delivering IT transformation programmes in complex or regulated organisations
  • Strong background in cloud and legacy system migrations, including post-migration optimisation
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate technical delivery into clear business outcomes
  • Confident stakeholder management at senior level
  • Solid understanding of Agile/Scrum and project management best practice

The role is predominantly remote, with occasional UK travel for planning reviews or key meetings.
