IT Project Manager – Applications & Infrastructure
Overview
A global legal business is seeking an experienced IT Project Manager with strong Infrastructure delivery expertise to join its established Project Delivery team. This role will focus on managing and delivering a range of strategic technology initiatives-spanning core infrastructure upgrades, cloud and platform services, enterprise applications, and operational change. Operating within a complex, fast-paced environment, you will lead cross-functional teams, coordinate external suppliers, and ensure successful end-to-end project execution.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the full project lifecycle across Infrastructure and Application workstreams-from initiation and planning through delivery, testing, deployment, and closure.
  • Manage internal technical teams, engineering specialists, and third-party suppliers, ensuring clear direction and quality outputs.
  • Develop and maintain core project documentation including delivery plans, RAID logs, status reports, and financial tracking.
  • Oversee progress against milestones, budgets, and scope; identify risks, issues, and dependencies with proactive mitigation.
  • Ensure effective, transparent communication between IT, business services, operations, and vendor teams, maintaining alignment on scope, timelines, and priorities.
  • Translate technical requirements-particularly around infrastructure and platform change-into clear business language for mixed stakeholder groups.
  • Coordinate resource allocation, scheduling, procurement activities, and vendor engagement to support delivery.
  • Lead service transition activities, ensuring infrastructure and application changes are embedded successfully into BAU support with appropriate documentation and knowledge transfer.

Skills & Experience Required

  • 5+ years' experience delivering end-to-end IT projects, with significant exposure to infrastructure-focused initiatives such as server/network upgrades, cloud migration, virtualisation, storage, identity management, endpoint solutions, or data centre work.
  • Strong experience managing third-party vendors, hardware/software suppliers, and managed service partners.
  • Solid understanding of application delivery, software development lifecycles, and integration with infrastructure services.
  • Strong knowledge of PRINCE2, Agile, and traditional Waterfall methodologies.
  • Excellent planning, organisation, and risk management skills, with the ability to operate in structured yet flexible environments.
  • Exceptional communication and stakeholder engagement capabilities, comfortable working with technical teams, senior business leaders, and external partners.

Desirable

  • Experience in professional services or other regulated, client-focused environments.
  • Background in delivering cloud-based projects (Azure, SaaS, platform consolidation, identity & access management).
  • Experience working with large-scale outsource partners or managed service providers.
