Full description
Role Purpose
The Technical Project Manager – IT Security is responsible for translating IT Security priorities into well-structured,executable initiatives and driving those initiatives through to measurable outcomes.
The role will manage technically complex IT Security projects and coordinate dependencies across the broader IT Security portfolio. Projects will typically involve multiple teams across Security, Infrastructure, Cloud, Networks, Applications, Corporate IT, regional IT organizations and external vendors.
This is a technically oriented delivery role. Its purpose is to provide the structure, coordination, visibility and execution discipline needed for these initiatives to succeed. The successful candidate must be able to participate effectively in technical discussions, understand architecture and implementation dependencies, challenge incomplete delivery plans and help technical teams convert security requirements into practical implementation activities.
Key ResponsibilitiesProject Delivery
- Lead technically complex IT Security projects from initiation through implementation, testing, transition and closure.
- Translate security objectives into clear scope, workstreams, milestones, dependencies, responsibilities and acceptance criteria.
- Develop realistic project plans covering technical implementation, integration, migration, testing, cutover and operational readiness.
- Identify delivery gaps, pre-requisites and blockers early, challenge unrealistic assumptions and drive appropriate resolution or escalation.
- Track delivery against agreed milestones and outcomes.
Technical and Portfolio Coordination
- Participate effectively in technical discussions and facilitate working sessions involving architects, engineers, operations teams, vendors and other specialists.
- Understand technical designs, system dependencies, interfaces and data flows sufficiently to coordinate delivery and identify when specialist decisions are required.
- Maintain an integrated view of concurrent IT Security initiatives, including sequencing, dependencies, shared resources, risks and decisions.
- Coordinate cross-project dependencies and resource conflicts with the relevant owners.
Matrix, Stakeholder and Vendor Management
- Drive delivery through influence and coordination across teams without direct line-management authority.
- Establish clear ownership for project delivery, technical implementation, architecture, operational responsibilities and security controls.
- Coordinate vendors and implementation partners against agreed deliverables, dependencies, acceptance criteria and outcomes.
