Job description

Technical Programme Manager – Infrastructure & Cyber Recovery

Location: London / Remote | Ad hoc office visits (potentially 1–2 times per month)

Contract: Initial 6-month FTC | Strong potential to extend to 18 months or go permanent

We are working with a leading global technology services provider on behalf of a major international telecommunications and network infrastructure organisation.

Following a significant cyber incident, they are undertaking a major infrastructure recovery, resilience and technology transformation programme and are looking for a technically credible Technical Programme Manager to lead delivery across multiple workstreams.

You will sit above several key programmes, including:

• Infrastructure management and monitoring
• Backup and Disaster Recovery
• Cyber/infrastructure resilience
• TSA exit and technology separation
• Additional networking, API and third‑party access initiatives

You’ll coordinate Technical Delivery Managers, Solution Architects and engineering teams, providing senior leadership with clear visibility of progress, risks, dependencies and priorities.

A key challenge is a large and complex technology estate with incomplete asset and observability data, so you’ll need to be comfortable operating in ambiguity and bringing structure to technically complex environments.

We’re looking for someone who is technically credible, not simply a planner with some technical knowledge.

You’ll ideally have experience with:

• Large‑scale infrastructure transformation
• Cyber recovery / cyber resilience
• Backup & Disaster Recovery
• Infrastructure security
• Data centre, cloud or network transformation
• Complex/legacy technology estates
• TSA, M&A or technology separation programmes

Experience supporting an organisation through a major cyber incident or ransomware recovery programme would be a significant advantage.

This is a high‑profile programme with significant senior stakeholder exposure, offering an initial 6‑month FTC, with a strong likelihood of extending up to 18 months or transitioning permanently.

Remote‑first with only occasional London office visits required.
