IT Project Manager | Global Transformation | Hybrid (Cheltenham, UK)

Are you an experienced IT Project Manager who thrives on complex, global transformation programmes?

Do you enjoy leading cross-functional teams to deliver meaningful change within an organisation that's investing heavily in IT transformation?

I'm working with a global organisation that's embarking on a major programme of IT and infrastructure modernisation. They're building a future-ready, product-oriented IT function, and are now seeking an experienced IT Project Manager to help drive this forward.

The Opportunity

This is a high-visibility, delivery-focused role within the Group IT Planning & Delivery function.

You'll be responsible for managing end-to-end delivery of large-scale projects across EMEA, covering areas such as network transformation, cloud-first initiatives, infrastructure rationalisation, and digital workplace modernisation.

Reporting to a collaborative leader who values autonomy and trust, you'll work with global teams and senior stakeholders to bring structure, clarity, and measurable results in a business undergoing significant change.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead multiple concurrent IT and infrastructure projects from planning through to delivery and handover.
  • Manage vendor and supplier relationships across outcome-based and fixed-price contracts.
  • Drive project governance, stand-ups, meetings, and steerco reporting.
  • Partner with senior stakeholders to ensure delivery on time, within budget, and to expected standards.
  • Contribute to shaping and improving frameworks and processes across the project management function.

About You

  • Proven track record in delivering complex, global IT projects, ideally across networks, infrastructure, or cloud.
  • Strong technical understanding; confident discussing technical topics without needing to be hands-on.
  • Excellent stakeholder and supplier management, able to influence and hold partners accountable.
  • Proven experience of managing 3rd parties to meet key milestones and deliverables.
  • Comfortable operating in an evolving environment with developing processes and frameworks.
  • Proactive, self-sufficient, and delivery-focused with strong communication and leadership skills.

Location and Flexibility

  • Hybrid role based in Cheltenham, UK.
  • Minimum two days per week required on-site for collaboration with internal teams.
  • Applicants must be UK-based and eligible to work in the UK.
  • This is a permanent position; contract or remote-only candidates will not be considered.

Salary and Benefits

  • £70,000 per annum
  • Competitive bonus and comprehensive benefits package.
  • Generous personal development budget (over £1,000 per year per employee).
  • Excellent career growth opportunities within a well-established, financially secure global organisation.

Interview Process

  • Two-stage process:
  • Stage 1: Experience, competency, and behavioural interview.
  • Stage 2: Task-based assessment (scenario exercise or steerco presentation).

This is a rare opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation with strong board commitment to IT transformation. If you're looking for a role where you can lead large-scale technical projects, influence positive change, and be part of an evolving global team, I'd love to hear from you.
