Programme Manager - Cyber Uplift

Are you a true Programme Manager who thrives on leading complex cyber initiatives and not just managing a single project?

This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a major Cyber Security uplift program, driving delivery of Essential 8 maturity and modern secure network capabilities within a large, highly structured environment.

You'll operate at the programme level, directing multiple streams of work, working closely with senior executives, and embedding the governance, controls and delivery rhythm required to take a critical cyber program through its next phase.

Why this role stands out

• Programme leadership role - not a project manager position
• Long-term contract through to June 2027
• Enterprise-wide impact with executive visibility
• Strong PMO and governance environment
• Complex stakeholder and vendor landscape
• Delivery-focused, outcomes-driven culture

The role

You will be accountable for end-to-end programme delivery, ensuring structure, alignment and momentum across multiple projects and workstreams.

Key responsibilities include:

• Establishing and leading the programme delivery strategy, roadmap and controls
• Directing Project Managers to achieve programme milestones and outcomes
• Managing schedule, budget, risks, issues, benefits and reporting
• Driving Steering Committee engagement and executive decision support
• Overseeing vendor and contractual financial milestones
• Embedding a strong delivery cadence aligned to a mature EPMO framework
• Navigating complex dependencies and business-critical events

What I'm looking for

This role will suit a career Programme Manager who has delivered at least one cyber security program of work and is comfortable operating in a highly governed environment.

You will bring:

• 5+ years as a Programme Manager (with earlier Project Management foundation)
• Proven delivery of cyber security initiatives, including exposure to Essential 8
• Deep experience working with PMOs, governance forums and executive stakeholders
• Highly polished interpersonal, negotiation and stakeholder engagement skills
• Strong financial management across budgets, forecasting, accruals and variations
• A structured, highly organised and hands-on approach to programme controls
• Ability to lead through complexity, ambiguity and changing priorities

A technical cyber background is beneficial but not essential. Your strength is programme leadership and delivery. This is a role for someone who can bring order to complexity, build trust at executive level, and drive a cyber programme to successful completion.
