About the position

Ready to lead high-impact enterprise transformation?

We're looking for a Senior Programme Manager with the experience, influence, and commercial acumen to lead one of our most strategic technology transformation programmes.

This is not a traditional project management role. We're seeking a seasoned leader who can confidently engage executives and board members, challenge global vendors, drive outsourcing and cloud transformation initiatives, and bring multiple complex workstreams together into a single successful programme.

If you've successfully led large-scale outsourcing, cloud migration, vendor transition, or managed services programmes—this opportunity is for you.


What You'll Be Driving

  • Enterprise-wide technology transformation programmes
  • Vendor due diligence, outsourcing, and commercial evaluations
  • Cloud migration and cloud-to-cloud transformation initiatives (AWS, OCI, Azure, GCP)
  • Executive governance, steering committees, and board-level reporting
  • Service integration into ITSM environments, including ServiceNow
  • Operational readiness, SLAs, OLAs, and service transition
  • Global vendor management and offshore delivery teams

RequirementsWhat We're Looking For
  • 10+ years' experience managing large enterprise technology programmes
  • Strong experience leading outsourcing, managed services, or vendor transition programmes
  • Proven vendor due diligence and commercial negotiation experience
  • Experience delivering enterprise cloud migration programmes
  • Strong understanding of service management and operational governance
  • Experience working with ServiceNow or similar ITSM platforms
  • Demonstrated success managing offshore vendors, particularly India-based delivery teams
  • Exceptional stakeholder management with the confidence to engage executives and board-level stakeholders
  • Strong commercial, governance, and programme leadership capability

Qualifications
  • Degree in IT, Engineering, Commerce, or a related field
  • PMP, PRINCE2, MSP, Agile, or equivalent Programme Management certification
  • ITIL certification advantageous
  • Experience in large enterprise or regulated environments preferred

Desired Skills:

  • ITSM
  • Cloud and Infrastructure
  • Global Vendors
  • Cloud Migration
  • Transformation

Desired Qualification Level:

  • Degree
