About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Cloud Transformation Programme Manager to lead the day-to-day management, integration, and control of a major technology transformation programme. This is a key delivery role responsible for translating the agreed transformation strategy and delivery approach into a controlled, achievable, and integrated programme of work, bringing together multiple technical and business workstreams.

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain the integrated programme plan, bringing together workstream plans, milestones, dependencies, resources, and key delivery outcomes.
Establish and maintain the programme critical path, ensuring that activities affecting key milestones and migration waves receive appropriate focus.
Identify and actively manage cross-workstream dependencies, ensuring that sequencing and ownership are clear.
Coordinate mobilisation and delivery across identity, endpoints, productivity, applications, infrastructure, security, testing, and transition workstreams.
Work closely with technical and project leads to translate high-level objectives into achievable delivery plans, milestones, and measurable outcomes.
Establish and maintain effective programme controls covering scope, schedule, resources, budget, RAID, change, and decision management.
Establish clear programme rhythms, governance forums, reporting cycles, and escalation routes.
Run programme governance meetings, ensuring that decisions, actions, risks, and dependencies are clearly documented and followed through.
Produce accurate, concise, and meaningful programme reporting for programme stakeholders and senior leadership.
Provide clear visibility of overall programme health, progress against milestones, emerging risks, resource pressures, and delivery constraints.
Work with technical and project leads to sequence discovery, design, migration planning, testing, cutover, and transition activities.
Ensure that technical dependencies are reflected appropriately within the integrated programme plan rather than being managed in isolation within individual workstreams.
Identify delivery constraints and potential schedule impacts early, working with delivery leads to develop practical recovery and mitigation plans.
Escalate issues requiring senior intervention with clear recommendations, options, and implications.
Track programme resources and capacity, identifying current and future resource requirements and potential bottlenecks.
Support financial management, including budget tracking, forecasting, supplier commitments, and identification of potential cost pressures.
Manage programme-level change control, ensuring that proposed changes are assessed for their impact on scope, cost, schedule, resources, dependencies, and outcomes.
Maintain a clear and current RAID log, ensuring that risks and issues have appropriate owners, actions, and escalation routes.
Maintain programme decision records and ensure that key architectural, technical, and delivery decisions are understood and reflected in the programme plan.
Coordinate internal teams and third-party contributors, ensuring that supplier activity is aligned with programme priorities and contractual commitments.
Maintain alignment between programme outcomes, contractual deliverables, and the evolving transformation timetable.
Ensure that lessons learned from discovery, design, migration, and early delivery phases are incorporated into subsequent programme planning.

Requirements

Proven experience managing complex programmes involving Microsoft, cloud, infrastructure, identity, or organisational change.
Strong experience developing and maintaining integrated programme plans across multiple concurrent workstreams.
Excellent dependency-management skills, with the ability to understand and manage relationships between technical and business activities.
Strong experience with programme governance, including RAID management, change control, decision management, financial tracking, and executive reporting.
Experience managing multiple technical workstreams simultaneously, ideally across infrastructure, applications, security, and end-user technology.
Experience managing third-party suppliers, delivery partners, and contractual dependencies.
Strong resource forecasting and capacity-management skills, with the ability to identify upcoming delivery constraints.
Experience managing programmes with fixed milestones, migration waves, operational dependencies, and complex technical sequencing.
Practical understanding of the delivery lifecycle from discovery and design through build, testing, migration, cutover, and transition into service.
The ability to understand technical information and translate it into clear programme impacts, delivery choices, risks, and decisions.
Strong financial-management capability, including budget tracking, forecasting, and management of cost pressures.
Excellent reporting skills, with the ability to turn complex programme information into concise, accurate, and decision-focused reporting.
Strong facilitation, negotiation, and influencing skills.
Experience working with architects, engineers, project managers, product owners, security specialists, operational teams, and senior stakeholders.
Strong leadership capability, with the confidence to challenge delivery leads and stakeholders constructively where commitments, risks, or dependencies require intervention.
Highly organised and delivery-focused programme professional who enjoys bringing structure to complex environments.
Comfortable operating at both strategic and operational levels.
Confident working with uncertainty and changing information.
Strong judgement and know when an issue can be resolved within the programme team and when it requires escalation.
Effective communicator and facilitator, able to bring different teams and organisations together around shared outcomes and create accountability for actions and commitments.
Ability to turn complexity into clarity, control, and forward momentum.
