Job description

We are currently looking to onboard an experienced Infrastructure Programme Manager on a contract basis for a leading global bank within their Securities Services Technology function.

This is a high-impact role within a fast-paced production and infrastructure environment, delivering a portfolio of concurrent projects across global teams. You will play a key role in driving delivery across both strategic change initiatives and critical production-led work. The Role

  • Deliver a portfolio of infrastructure and production-related projects end-to-end
  • Manage multiple concurrent workstreams across global teams
  • Drive full project lifecycle from initiation through to production deployment
  • Coordinate across infrastructure, development, cyber and production support teams
  • Navigate internal governance processes (e.g. IT Service Acceptance) to enable delivery into production
  • Ensure effective planning, tracking, reporting, and risk management
  • Engage with stakeholders across technical and business functions
  • Operate in a fast-paced, high-demand environment with competing priorities

Requirements

  • Strong experience delivering infrastructure or IT change within banking or large enterprise environments
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
  • Good understanding of infrastructure environments (servers, databases, networks, middleware, storage)
  • Experience working within complex governance frameworks
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
  • Ability to translate technical requirements into delivery plans
  • Comfortable working with cross-functional teams including developers and infrastructure teams
  • Highly organised and able to work under pressure

Desirable Experience

  • Tier-1 banking experience
  • Experience working in production / live environments
  • Exposure to release, deployment and infrastructure lifecycle processes

Please note this is a Sheffield-based role so you must be able to work in Sheffield on a hybrid basis.
