Technical Project Manager

Role Overview

• We are looking for a Technical Project Manager / Scrum Master with strong experience driving delivery of cloud, infrastructure, cybersecurity, vulnerability management, or related technical programmes.
• This is not a pure Scrum Master role focused only on facilitating ceremonies and process adherence.
• The ideal candidate will combine strong Scrum Master fundamentals with hands-on project/delivery management experience, taking ownership of planning, execution, dependencies, risks, blockers, stakeholder management and delivery outcomes.
• Candidates should have experience working with technical engineering teams across cloud, infrastructure, application, platform and security environments.
• A Scrum Master certification such as CSM or PSM will be preferred as a starting point, with the expectation that candidates can demonstrate practical application of Agile/Scrum principles.
• The candidate should be comfortable working in a fast-paced technical environment involving vulnerability remediation, security, infrastructure and cross-functional technical delivery.

Team Mission

• Drive coordinated delivery of vulnerability remediation activities across multiple technical tracks.
• Ensure remediation work is planned, prioritised, tracked and delivered within agreed timelines and SLA/OLA expectations.
• Bring application, infrastructure, cloud, security, platform and external support teams onto a common delivery plan.
• Provide clear visibility into progress, dependencies, risks, blockers, forecasts and delivery outcomes.
• Establish disciplined Agile delivery practices while maintaining a strong focus on actual project execution and closure.

What You Will Do

• Own the day-to-day delivery execution of the vulnerability management programme across multiple technical tracks.
• Maintain detailed delivery plans, sprint schedules, milestones and dependency maps.
• Break vulnerability/remediation backlogs into actionable work packages with clear owners, priorities, timelines and acceptance criteria.
• Facilitate daily stand-ups, sprint planning, sprint reviews and retrospectives.
• Track sprint commitments, throughput, burndown, backlog ageing and SLA/OLA attainment.
• Forecast delivery timelines and proactively identify and escalate potential slippage.
• Manage cross-team dependencies involving application, cloud, infrastructure, platform, OS, cybersecurity, DevSecOps and external service providers.
• Coordinate access, environment readiness, change windows, approvals and other prerequisites required for remediation activities.
• Maintain and actively manage RAID logs, driving risks, issues, actions and dependencies through to closure.
• Coordinate execution between internal engineering teams, security teams, MSP/support teams and development teams.
• Ensure vulnerability closures follow the appropriate testing, re-scan, validation and evidence process before being marked complete.
• Monitor leading and lagging delivery indicators and provide accurate status and forecast information.
• Prepare concise, outcome-focused reporting and dashboards for programme and technical leadership.
• Support onboarding, tooling access and operating cadence for new team members.
• Continuously improve delivery processes, Agile practices and mechanisms for identifying and removing delivery blockers.

Required Qualifications

• 9+ years of overall IT experience, with significant experience in technical project management, programme delivery or delivery management.
• Strong experience delivering cloud, infrastructure, cybersecurity, vulnerability management, security remediation or other technically complex IT programmes.
• Proven experience as a Scrum Master, Technical Project Manager, Delivery Manager or equivalent, with responsibility for actual delivery outcomes.
• Strong understanding of Scrum and Agile fundamentals, including roles, ceremonies, events, artefacts, backlog management, sprint planning, estimation, impediment management and continuous improvement.
• Ability to answer and apply core Scrum Master and Agile concepts in practical delivery situations.
• Experience managing technical teams and cross-functional dependencies across application, infrastructure, cloud, platform and security functions.
• Strong experience with backlog, sprint, milestone, dependency, risk and issue management.
• Working knowledge of vulnerability management lifecycle, security remediation and secure SDLC practices.
• Experience tracking SLA/OLA, delivery KPIs, throughput, backlog ageing, burndown and delivery forecasts.
• Experience with delivery and workflow tools such as Jira, ServiceNow and reporting/dashboard platforms.
• Strong stakeholder management, communication, escalation and conflict-resolution skills.
• Ability to work with technical teams and translate complex technical delivery information into clear updates for leadership.
• Strong ownership mindset with the ability to identify blockers and actively drive them to resolution.
