A specialist services business operates at the intersection of cybersecurity, IT infrastructure, compliance, investigations and security systems. The Project Management Office coordinates client and internal delivery, with a strong focus on planning, documentation, stakeholder communication and controlled handover.

The successful candidate will manage multiple projects from scope confirmation through to completion and handover. This role suits an organised coordinator who can work across technical teams, clients and suppliers, keep plans and records current, surface risks early, and drive agreed actions through to sign-off.

You spend your week clarifying client requirements, turning approved scope into practical project plans, and tracking owners, deadlines, milestones and dependencies. You coordinate technical teams, suppliers and client stakeholders so resources, access, equipment, licences and approvals are in place. You also run project meetings, record decisions and actions, follow up on blockers, prepare weekly progress updates, and keep documents, reports, approvals and handover evidence organised. Along the way, you may need to support technical review, testing, training and formal handover. If that sounds like your kind of week, this could be the role for you.
