## Description

Project Manager - Network Security, NAC Hardware Replacement - 9 months, Hybrid/Leeds, to £550 p/d inside IR35

A Network Security Project Manager is required to lead the replacement of a critical Network Access Control (NAC) infrastructure across a large and complex enterprise environment.

This is a high-profile role responsible for delivering a major network security and infrastructure refresh programme focused on replacing Legacy NAC hardware, improving network security, enhancing device authentication, strengthening access controls and supporting the organisation's wider security strategy.

You will be an experienced Project Manager who understands the challenges associated with network infrastructure and network security programmes and can confidently engage with Network Engineering, Infrastructure, Cyber Security, Architecture and senior business stakeholders. Whilst you do not need to be technically hands-on, you should possess a strong understanding of network access control, network infrastructure, authentication technologies and the operational risks associated with securing enterprise networks.

The role will involve managing the replacement of existing NAC infrastructure and associated network security technologies, working closely with Network, Infrastructure, Security and Architecture teams. You will be responsible for coordinating multiple technical and business workstreams, overseeing governance, RAID management, reporting, stakeholder engagement and third-party suppliers throughout the full project lifecycle through to successful deployment and transition into BAU support.

The role is to start in January and will require 3 days per week on site in Leeds.
