cybersecurity project manager

About:

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Cybersecurity Project Manager to join a leading enterprise organisation and drive a critical, large-scale security transformation. In this role, you will lead the end-to-end delivery of the Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) capability within the broader Dynamic Trust Program. The primary objective is to pivot the organization away from traditional, broad VPN-based access towards a precise, identity- and device-aware model.

You will lead a complex mix of technical implementation, application onboarding, operational readiness, and service transition, ensuring the new capability is fully integrated and sustainable for Business-As-Usual (BAU) operations.

Key Criteria for the Role

• 10+ years of experience in project management or program delivery within large, complex technology environments.

• Proven track record delivering initiatives across cyber security, network security, infrastructure, identity and access management (IDAM), or secure remote access.

• Deep practical understanding of Zero Trust principles, ZTNA, VPN replacement, endpoint compliance, and network segmentation.

• Highly desirable experience with Netskope Private Access (NPA) or comparable secure access platforms.

• Strong experience managing operational readiness, service transition, ServiceNow-enabled support processes, and BAU handovers.

• Familiarity with IDAM controls, Entra ID/group-based access, MFA, and enterprise application access policies.

• Demonstrated ability to manage ambiguity, enforce strict scope controls, and translate technical complexity into clear delivery decisions without needing to own the technical design.

• Superb stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior leadership, engineering SMEs, vendors, and cross-functional operational teams.

• Project management certification (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2, Agile) or a tertiary degree in IT/Engineering/Business is highly desirable.

Key Relationships

• Reporting Line: Program Manager / Portfolio Manager – Dynamic Trust / Network & Security Services

• Internal Teams: Cyber Architecture, IDAM, End User Technology, ServiceNow platform teams, Service Desk, Citrix support, Application Owners, and Change & Communications.

• External: Third-party delivery partners and technology vendors supporting ZTNA implementation.

Key Responsibilities

• Project Delivery & Execution: Lead end-to-end delivery of Netskope Private Access (NPA), maintaining an integrated plan that covers platform capability, user onboarding waves, and IDAM role alignment.

• Scope & Dependency Management: Formulate clear boundaries between project deliverables and BAU responsibilities, challenging scope expansion and escalating unresolved technical dependencies through governance.

• Operational Readiness: Drive the build-out of the ZTNA service model, ensuring the Service Desk and support teams have clear triage pathways, knowledge documentation, and integrated ServiceNow processes.

• Risk & Compliance: Proactively manage technical, operational, and security risks associated with device compliance, application access, and publisher readiness to ensure outcomes match the strategic security intent.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Facilitate cross-team alignment and decision-making between technical engineering SMEs and business application owners, providing concise status and financial reporting to steering committees.
