About our client
Our client is leading a multi-stream, high-value infrastructure transformation programme of national significance, focused on modernising core platforms that underpin critical operations across a highly secure environment. This is not a standard transformation. It is a large-scale, greenfield build and migration programme involving the redesign, deployment and transition of next-generation infrastructure across compute, network, storage, VDI and security domains. Operating within a Defence-aligned, highly regulated environment, this programme carries significant operational importance, with delivery outcomes directly supporting essential services and long-term capability uplift. The programme is structured across multiple parallel workstreams and migration waves, requiring strong governance, coordination and leadership at scale. It brings together a broad ecosystem of delivery partners, making it both technically complex and organisationally high-impact.
About the role

You will operate at both strategic and execution levels, ensuring alignment between architecture, engineering and delivery teams while maintaining full oversight of programme performance.
