Network Project Manager

Location: Remote (UK based) | Duration: 6–12 months | Start: Within 2 weeks

 We’re looking for a hands-on contract Project Manager to drive delivery across a portfolio of critical global sites for a global network transofrmation programme. These sites have complex interdependencies and senior, VIP stakeholders.

What you’ll be doing

• Delivering circuit transitions, network device and end-user transitions across global sites
• Supporting the SD-WAN rollout and the move to Fortinet
• Driving the managed service partner: challenging plans, validating reporting, and holding them to agreed commitments and dependencies
• Running site questionnaires, discovery and stakeholder interviews to build a clear picture of each site
• Owning project governance: plans, RAID logs, dependency tracking, status reporting and change control

What we’re looking for

• A strong track record as a hands-on Project Manager on network security transformation
• Practical experience of circuits, WAN/SD-WAN, network hardware and site migrations or cutovers
• Strong analytical skills for assessing sites, gathering requirements and closing gaps
• Polished, credible communication with senior stakeholders
