Programme Manager (Cloud)

Join our team as a Programme Manager (Cloud) and lead a major technology transformation programme. You will be responsible for translating the transformation strategy into a controlled and achievable programme of work, coordinating multiple technical and business workstreams. This is an opportunity to take ownership of the integrated programme plan, delivery controls, governance, and cross-workstream coordination. You will work closely with programme leadership, technical architects, project and workstream leads, delivery teams, suppliers, and customer stakeholders.

• Lead the day-to-day management, integration, and control of a major technology transformation programme, ensuring that activity is properly sequenced, dependencies are understood, and risks are actively managed.
• Develop and maintain the integrated programme plan, bringing together workstream plans, milestones, dependencies, resources, and key delivery outcomes, while establishing and maintaining the programme critical path.
• Coordinate mobilisation and delivery across identity, endpoints, productivity, applications, infrastructure, security, testing, and transition workstreams, ensuring that individual workstreams remain aligned to the overall programme outcomes.
• We are looking for an experienced programme management professional with a strong track record of delivering complex technology or organisational transformation
• Strong experience with programme governance, including RAID management, change control, decision management, financial tracking and executive reporting
• Proven experience managing complex programmes involving Microsoft, cloud, infrastructure, identity or organisational change
• Experience working with architects, engineers, project managers, product owners, security specialists, operational teams and senior stakeholders
• Strong leadership capability, with the confidence to challenge delivery leads and stakeholders constructively where commitments, risks or dependencies require intervention
• Experience managing multiple technical workstreams simultaneously, ideally across infrastructure, applications, security and end-user technology
• Excellent reporting skills, with the ability to turn complex programme information into concise, accurate and decision-focused reporting
• Strong financial-management capability, including budget tracking, forecasting and management of cost pressures
• Strong resource forecasting and capacity-management skills, with the ability to identify upcoming delivery constraints
• The ability to understand technical information and translate it into clear programme impacts, delivery choices, risks and decisions
• Excellent dependency-management skills, with the ability to understand and manage relationships between technical and business activities
• Practical understanding of the delivery lifecycle from discovery and design through build, testing, migration, cutover and transition into service
• Strong facilitation, negotiation and influencing skills
• Experience managing third-party suppliers, delivery partners and contractual dependencies
• Strong experience developing and maintaining integrated programme plans across multiple concurrent workstreams
• Experience managing programmes with fixed milestones, migration waves, operational dependencies and complex technical sequencing
• You will be confident working with uncertainty and changing information. Rather than treating the programme plan as a static document, you will use it as a living management tool that reflects the latest understanding of scope, dependencies, risks and delivery readiness
• You will be comfortable operating at both strategic and operational levels. You can discuss the overall transformation roadmap with senior stakeholders one moment and work through the detailed sequencing of technical dependencies with delivery leads the next
• You will also be an effective communicator and facilitator, able to bring different teams and organisations together around shared outcomes and create accountability for actions and commitments
• You will be a highly organised and delivery-focused programme professional who enjoys bringing structure to complex environments
• You will have strong judgement and know when an issue can be resolved within the programme team and when it requires escalation. When escalating, you will bring clear options, impacts and recommendations, rather than simply reporting a problem
• Most importantly, you will be someone who can turn complexity into clarity, control and forward momentum
