Responsibilities
* Lead end-to-end delivery of the global, multi‑year network transformation programme, owning scope, milestones, dependencies and the integrated plan across workstreams.
* Establish and operate programme governance (SteerCo, RAID, dependency and change control) with clear decision points and escalation paths.
* Drive cross‑workstream integration and sequencing across WAN, campus, security/segmentation, DDI, observability and MSP transition.
* Own benefits tracking and value realisation, including cost reduction, performance/SLA improvements, resilience metrics and adoption of target standards.
* Lead MSP transition readiness and onboarding, ensuring service continuity, knowledge transfer and alignment to contractual SLAs/SLOs.
* Manage programme financials (budgeting, forecasting, variance control) across internal and vendor spend; ensure transparent reporting.
* Co‑ordinate vendor and partner execution, milestone assurance, quality management and delivery performance management.
* Embed organisational change management (OCM) at scale: stakeholder mapping, communications, training/enablement and adoption planning.
* Ensure operational readiness and cutover planning are built into every wave, with clear acceptance criteria and handover to steady‑state operations.
* Provide concise, executive‑ready reporting translating complex technical delivery into risks, decisions and outcomes.
Qualifications
* Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
* Significant experience leading large‑scale global technology programmes with a strong background in delivering network/infrastructure transformation.

* Outcome‑based delivery mindset: benefits definition, KPI tracking and value realisation controls.
* Excellent executive communication skills – able to translate technical complexity into clear decisions and actions.
* Ability to influence and align cross‑functional stakeholders without direct line authority, with experience in large, global, regulated environments (life sciences, manufacturing, R&D, critical infrastructure).
* Familiarity with enterprise networking platforms (e.g., Juniper, Aruba, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks) from a programme leadership perspective.
