I'm partnering with a major global organisation embarking on a large-scale cyber security transformation programme that will shape the security and resilience of critical manufacturing and operational environments across an international business footprint.

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced Delivery Lead to drive the implementation of Operational Technology (OT) cyber security initiatives across manufacturing sites worldwide. You'll play a key role in delivering major cyber transformation projects that directly support operational resilience, regulatory compliance, and the protection of critical production systems.

The initial focus of the role will be the rollout of OT monitoring capabilities across priority manufacturing locations, with future projects likely to include Secure Remote Access, IT/OT network segregation, threat detection enhancements, and broader OT security improvement initiatives.

Working closely with manufacturing leadership, engineering teams, cyber security specialists, business stakeholders and third-party vendors, you'll be responsible for ensuring complex programmes are delivered successfully, on time, within budget, and aligned to security and operational objectives.

• Experience managing project budgets, reporting, forecasting and vendor delivery.
• Strong risk management and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and operational audiences.
• Ability to build trust and influence senior stakeholders across manufacturing, engineering, security and business leadership functions.
