The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced, delivery-focused Senior Project Manager to support a complex Microsoft cloud security modernisation programme.

The programme covers Azure tenant rationalisation, Microsoft Sentinel, security remediation, SOC enablement and operational handover, with multiple Microsoft, partner and client workstreams operating concurrently.

You will take ownership of the integrated delivery plan, resources, dependencies, risks and reporting, ensuring technical teams remain aligned and key milestones are delivered successfully.

This is not a hands-on security engineering role. You do not need to be a Microsoft Sentinel or Defender SME. However, you will need sufficient experience across complex cybersecurity, cloud or infrastructure programmes to challenge delivery plans, identify risks and dependencies, and keep multiple technical teams moving., * Own and maintain the integrated programme delivery plan

 * Coordinate Microsoft, partner and client resources across multiple technical workstreams
 * Manage dependencies across security, Azure, infrastructure, identity and SOC delivery
 * Own and maintain RAID, dependency, action and decision logs
 * Manage programme scope, change control, milestones and delivery risks
 * Lead delivery governance, reporting and the regular programme delivery cadence
 * Coordinate parallel remediation and delivery waves
 * Track testing, readiness and operational handover activities
 * Provide clear weekly status reporting, escalating programme-level risks and decisions where required
 * Work closely with Programme Managers, Architects, Security Leads and technical delivery teams
 * Hold multiple teams accountable for agreed actions, milestones and outcomes
