Security, infrastructure, and hybrid IT transformation initiatives

This role demands strong governance, commercial awareness, technical credibility, and executive-level communication skills.

Specifically requiring the ability to:

Work with requestors and senior stakeholders to define and shape large-scale project scope, objectives, success criteria, and outcomes; producing robust business cases, delivery plans, budgets, and resource models.

Manage full project lifecycle delivery, including requirements definition, design, build, test, deployment, data migration, cutover, and post-implementation support.
Demonstrate strong organizational capability, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously at different stages of delivery.
Provide clear, concise, and confident communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Deliver executive-level reporting and governance, including steering committees, RAID management, financial tracking, and benefits realization.
Drive internal world-wide teams and external suppliers to maintain momentum, resolve dependencies, and deliver against agreed milestones.
Lead information security-related initiatives, with a proven track record of delivering security controls, compliance, and risk remediation projects.
Deliver infrastructure and platform projects across server infrastructure, VMware, networking, cloud (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), and end-user computing, including integration with enterprise applications.
Apply Project Management best practices using Waterfall, Agile, and hybrid methodologies, defining workstreams, sprints, release plans, and tracking delivery progress.
Operate effectively in a remote and hybrid working environment, managing geographically dispersed teams.
Be based from our Atlanta office, with flexibility to support stakeholder engagement as required.
