About the role:

The Infrastructure Program Manager leads the full migration of our private data centre estate into Microsoft Azure. This role requires technical programme leader with a prior engineering background across infrastructure, networks, firewalls, and/or cloud.

You will drive the program end to end by coordinating engineering squads, architects, product owners, and application teams, ensuring that infrastructure, networks, platforms, and Microsoft workloads are migrated safely and efficiently.

This is not a "reporting only" role. We need someone with a strong can-do attitude, who takes full ownership, removes blockers, motivates teams, and drives delivery with urgency and confidence.

·        Understanding of cloud and data centre infrastructure, compute, storage, networking, monitoring, observability

·        Experience in landing zone design, environment provisioning, and security controls in Azure.

·        Strong "can-do" attitude with the ability to push through obstacles and maintain momentum.

·        Experience leading large-scale data centre migration programmes end to end.

·        Competent in both Agile (sprints, user stories, backlog management) and traditional program governance.

·        Goal-oriented and self-directed individual who has extensive experience of leading a team of IT experts from various technology divisions. 

·        Experience with project management tools.

·        Detailed understanding of project lifecycles, project definition, project governance and project quality.
