The Opportunity
A large, complex organisation is looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead a key portfolio of work focused on treating organisational data as a strategic asset. The role sits across the organisation’s Data and Cyber functions and forms part of a wider Security Improvement Programme. You will take ownership of several interdependent workstreams designed to improve how data is identified, classified, governed, protected and managed across the organisation.
This is not a generic project management role or a deeply technical architecture position. It requires someone who can operate confidently between business change, data governance, cyber security and programme delivery.
