The opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead customer-facing cloud and data engagements over a six-month contract. You will connect business stakeholders with technical teams, establish a practical delivery plan and keep complex projects moving from discovery through implementation and handover.

What you will do

• Own delivery plans, milestones, scope, budgets and resource coordination across cloud and data workstreams.

• Translate business objectives into clear deliverables, acceptance criteria and measurable outcomes with customer sponsors and technical leads.

• Lead Agile delivery: facilitate planning, reviews and retrospectives, support backlog prioritisation and adapt the approach to the engagement.

• Coordinate architects, cloud engineers, data engineers and customer teams; resolve dependencies and remove blockers.

• Maintain risks, issues, assumptions and dependencies, with clear owners and timely escalation.

• Run customer governance and steering meetings, communicating progress, trade-offs and decisions clearly to senior stakeholders.

• Manage scope changes and delivery forecasts, working within agreed statements of work.

• Coordinate testing, release readiness, operational handover and customer acceptance.

What you will bring

• At least 10 years of experience in technology project or programme management, including delivery of complex enterprise initiatives.

• A track record of delivering cloud migration, modernisation or data platform projects in a customer-facing environment.

• Working knowledge of AWS and cloud delivery concepts, with the ability to discuss architecture dependencies, security, environments and operational readiness with specialists.

• Understanding of data project lifecycles, including ingestion, migration, pipelines, analytics, data quality and governance.

• Practical experience with Agile ways of working, including Scrum or Kanban, and the judgement to combine these with programme governance.

• Strong commercial awareness, stakeholder management, facilitation and written communication.

• Experience using tools such as Jira and Confluence to make delivery progress and decisions visible.

Useful additional experience

• AWS Professional Services, partner consulting or a comparable engagement management role.

• Databricks, lakehouse or enterprise analytics delivery.

• Relevant project management, Agile or AWS certifications.
