IT Project Manager

Assignment: Senior IT Project Manager – Network Transformation

We are currently looking for a seasoned IT Project Manager to lead a high-impact initiative focused on modernizing core network infrastructure and access across a large-scale enterprise environment. This project is a cornerstone in a broader transformation program aimed at future-proofing the organization's digital backbone, with strong emphasis on security, scalability, and operational readiness.

Project Scope

This initiative encompasses the delivery of next-generation network technologies including:

• SD-WAN – enabling robust, scalable connectivity across sites and cloud environments
• SD-Access – delivering secure, identity-driven LAN segmentation and policy enforcement
• Secure Service Edge (SSE) – implementing Zero Trust principles for secure remote and internal access
• Dot1x rollout – establishing identity-based network control and policy enforcement across the enterprise

The Project Manager will be responsible for orchestrating delivery across these workstreams, ensuring end-to-end integration, and preparing the operational teams for successful adoption and management of the new solutions. This role requires a leader who can operate both strategically and tactically – from aligning with governance frameworks to resolving hands-on implementation challenges.

Key Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of the Network Foundation Project, ensuring alignment with overarching transformation goals and governance structures
• Drive the delivery of Secure Service Edge (SSE) solutions in accordance with Zero Trust security models
• Coordinate timelines and interdependencies between SD-WAN, SD-Access, SSE, and Dot1x implementations
• Collaborate closely with technical leads, stream coordinators, and architects to ensure sequencing, readiness, and integration of deliverables
• Facilitate effective handover to operational teams, ensuring all solutions are accepted, documented, and supported
• Ensure delivery adheres to established IT governance frameworks, architectural guidelines, and security policies
• Oversee the Dot1x deployment as a foundational security measure to enable identity-based access control
• Track and manage project schedules, risks, resource planning, and stakeholder engagement at all levels
• Deliver clear, structured progress updates and risk assessments to program management, steering committees, and senior leadership
• Collaborate with external partners and vendors to ensure smooth execution and delivery of contracted work
• Ensure all project documentation, training materials, and knowledge transfer activities are properly completed and transitioned

Requirements

• A minimum of 8 years' experience leading complex IT infrastructure or network transformation projects
• Proven ability to coordinate multiple concurrent workstreams within large program structures
• Solid understanding of modern network architectures, especially software-defined networking, identity-based access, and Zero Trust frameworks
• Hands-on experience delivering projects in collaboration with operational teams across distributed sites or business units
• Demonstrated strength in managing cross-functional teams, handling dependencies, mitigating risks, and maintaining delivery momentum
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to bridge technical and business perspectives
• Familiarity with access control technologies such as Dot1x, Zero Trust models, and security policy enforcement
• Experience coordinating with suppliers, integration partners, and managed service providers
• Strong organizational skills, with the ability to handle structured delivery processes, documentation, and decision checkpoints

This role offers a unique opportunity to lead a business-critical initiative that will define the organization's network security and performance standards for years to come.
