Company & role This organisation operates in a regulated environment and is refreshing its cyber maturity programme. There is already a lot happening, but it needs structure, direction and control. They are looking for a Project Manager who can shape the programme and keep the ship on course while it takes form. This is about clarity, governance and momentum, not long term delivery ownership.
Why This Role Stands Out • You are shaping the programme, not just tracking tasks • You will bring order to fragmented activity and create a single coherent plan • You act as the steady hand, keeping everything aligned while the foundations are built • You influence direction without being dragged into full scale delivery • Clear three month scope with a defined outcome and clean handover
