We're supporting a major UK enterprise organisation on a large-scale security and compliance transformation programme and are looking for a highly credible Senior Project Manager to join a critical privileged access initiative. This role will be focused on governance, leadership, executive engagement and programme assurance, rather than hands-on technical delivery.

The Role
- Leading governance, reporting and programme assurance activities
- Owning SteerCo reporting and executive communications
- Translating technical delivery into concise business-level insight
- Driving RAID management, milestone tracking and dependency oversight
- Challenging delivery where required and driving accountability across teams
- Working closely with security, infrastructure, identity and operations stakeholders
This is a highly visible role requiring someone comfortable operating within complex, matrixed environments and engaging directly with SLT/executive stakeholders.
What We're Looking For:
- Proven Senior Project Management experience within regulated environments
- Strong stakeholder engagement experience at executive level
- Background delivering security, infrastructure, identity or compliance-focused programmes
- Experience owning governance, reporting and programme health
- Strong understanding of TSA/compliance-led delivery environments
- PAM experience highly desirable
- Ability to operate with pace, gravitas and autonomy in high-pressure programmes
Desirable Experience
- Heavily regulated industry background
- Knowledge of NCSC guidance/operator assurance environments
- Understanding of privileged access security and secure administration principles
- Exposure to Microsoft security and identity tooling (Entra ID, Intune, Defender etc.)
This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Project Manager who thrives in complex environments and enjoys bringing structure, clarity and leadership to critical transformation programmes.
