Responsibilities:
- Translate strategic cyber initiatives including IAM, DLP, and control gap remediation into clear deliverables and prioritised work packages.
- Manage dependencies across Cyber, IT, and Risk teams, ensuring sequencing and handoffs are optimised for delivery flow.
- Identify and remove delivery blockers in real time, escalating effectively where required.
- Maintain momentum and clarity across delivery teams, ensuring priorities and next steps are always well understood.
- Apply sufficient technical and cyber knowledge to challenge plans, refine the delivery approach, and improve outcomes.
Requirements:
- Proven background in Technical Delivery leadership, ideally with a strong understanding of cyber-related programmes.
- Comfortable operating across multiple teams and driving execution without formal authority.
- Outcome-focused with a preference for hands-on technical delivery.
- Experience in fast-moving, technically complex environments within regulated or risk-sensitive organisations.
This is an embedded engagement where the successful candidate will play a central role in improving delivery pace and predictability, reducing coordination overhead for technical SMEs, and ensuring the organisation's cyber programmes deliver against their strategic objectives.
