Job Description

Senior Project Manager – Network Transformation (Contract)
Negotiable Day Rate | Security-Cleared Environment  
Greater London | Central Government 
12 Month Contract
Key Skills: Extensive experience of project managing network transformation & upgrades. Active SC Clearance will be beneficial. 
 
I’m supporting a major government organisation undergoing a significant network transformation and we’re looking for a Senior Project Manager with real presence — someone who can take ownership of large, complex network programmes and keep multiple stakeholders aligned, engaged and moving in the right direction.
This isn’t a run-of-the-mill delivery role. You’ll be leading a substantial upgrade programme involving wider network infrastructure change, with a blend of technical complexity, vendor management and organisational politics to navigate. We need someone who can bring structure, confidence and clarity to a fast-moving environment.
 
What you’ll be driving:
  • End-to-end delivery of large-scale network upgrade projects. 
  • Managing multiple challenging stakeholders — internal teams, senior leadership, vendors and SI partners
  • Bringing rigour, pace and quality to a multi-workstream programme
  • Working closely with technical leads to ensure plans, dependencies and risks are understood and managed
  • Protecting timelines, budgets and outcomes while keeping delivery on track
  • Ensuring governance, reporting and documentation meet organisational and security standards
What we’re looking for:
  • A seasoned Project Manager with significant experience in network transformation programmes
  • Strong understanding of enterprise network upgrades and associated infrastructure
  • Someone with natural gravitas — confident with senior stakeholders and able to influence without friction
  • Demonstrable experience working in secure, government or similarly regulated environments
  • A proactive, composed operator who can steady the ship, challenge appropriately and build credibility quickly
  • Security clearance is highly desirable; ability to obtain may be acceptable for the right person
If you’ve delivered major network programmes in a secure environment before and can bring both the technical understanding and presence needed to cut through complexity, I’d be happy to talk you through the details.
