We're looking for an experienced Programme Director with active SC Clearance to lead the successful delivery of large-scale network transformation programmes for high-profile end clients.
This is an opportunity for a proven leader who thrives in complex environments, can engage confidently at executive level, and has a strong track record of delivering strategic technology change with robust governance.
Key Requirements
Active SC Clearance (essential).
Extensive experience leading large-scale network transformation programmes.
Strong background working directly with end clients, building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders.
Exceptional programme governance experience, including steering committees, RAID management, financial oversight, reporting, and executive-level communications.
Demonstrable experience across the full programme lifecycle, from mobilisation through to successful delivery and transition into BAU.
Strong commercial awareness with the ability to manage multiple workstreams, suppliers, and delivery partners.
Excellent leadership skills with experience managing programme managers, project managers, technical teams, and third-party vendors.
Desirable Experience
Experience delivering within secure or government environments.
Strong understanding of complex networking technologies and infrastructure transformation.
Experience working within highly regulated sectors.
Relevant programme management qualifications (MSP, PRINCE2, Agile, or equivalent).
What We're Looking For
You'll be a confident and credible Programme Director who combines strategic thinking with hands-on delivery leadership. You'll be comfortable operating in complex stakeholder environments, driving governance, managing risk, and ensuring programmes deliver measurable business outcomes.
If you have the leadership capability, governance expertise, and network transformation experience to deliver mission-critical programmes—and you already hold active SC Clearance—we'd love to hear from you
