Senior IT Project Manager - Cyber Security
An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior IT Project Manager to join a highly regarded IT Project Management Services provider on a permanent basis, or on a fixed-term contract if preferred. This hybrid role is aligned to a current client engagement in Central London, where three days per week on site is a firm requirement. As such, applicants must be based in London or within a reasonable commuting distance.
You will receive a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package including profit share bonus, EAP, pension scheme, and life assurance.
The Role
The first project within this role will involve leading the delivery of complex cyber security, technology risk and regulatory control programmes within a demanding professional services or similarly complex environment. The successful candidate will be a Senior Project Manager with proven experience of driving cyber risk reduction, control remediation and compliance-focused delivery across multiple stakeholder groups.
Projects may include ISO27001, Cyber Essentials Plus and wider cyber risk reduction frameworks or programmes, requiring the Project Manager to coordinate technical remediation activity, translate control requirements into clear delivery plans, manage evidence and reporting, and maintain focus on measurable reduction of organisational cyber risk.
The successful candidate will be responsible for delivery plans, risks, budgets, evidence, reporting and stakeholder engagement, ensuring that projects remain aligned to the clients’ priorities, risk appetite and fixed compliance deadlines. The role requires a structured, resilient and credible professional who can manage ambiguity, challenge progress constructively and drive delivery through influence where direct line management authority may not exist.

About You
Applicants must have demonstrable experience within a senior Project Manager role, with delivering complex cyber security, technology risk or regulatory control programmes in a demanding professional services or similarly complex environment. Candidates with broader IT Project Management experience will be particularly favoured, as this will support deployment across a wider range of future projects and client engagements. You must be credible with C-suite executives, partners and senior stakeholders, resilient under pressure, structured in approach and confident operating where ambiguity, competing priorities and fixed compliance deadlines are present. Whilst not essential for our London Clients, it is preferred if you hold a driving licence, and have access to a vehicle, as future projects engagements may be outside of Central London and inaccessible to public transport. Applicants must also already hold the right to work in the UK, as our client is unable to provide visa sponsorship at this time.
