We're looking for a hands-on contract Project Manager to drive delivery across a portfolio of critical global sites for a global network transofrmation programme. These sites have complex interdependencies and senior, VIP stakeholders.

- Delivering circuit transitions, network device and end-user transitions across global sites
- Supporting the SD-WAN rollout and the move to Fortinet
- Driving the managed service partner: challenging plans, validating reporting, and holding them to agreed commitments and dependencies
- Running site questionnaires, discovery and stakeholder interviews to build a clear picture of each site
- Owning project governance: plans, RAID logs, dependency tracking, status reporting and change control
What we're looking for
- A strong track record as a hands-on Project Manager on network security transformation
- Practical experience of circuits, WAN/SD-WAN, network hardware and site migrations or cutovers
- Strong analytical skills for assessing sites, gathering requirements and closing gaps
- Polished, credible communication with senior stakeholders
