Senior Technical Project Manager

Senior Technical Project Manager Global Microsoft 365 Transformation Remote UK based Salary:
Up to £80,000 Are you an experienced Senior Project Manager who has delivered large-scale Microsoft 365 migrations or tenant consolidation programmes? Can you identify the risks and dependencies that may sit between different technical work streams? Are you confident managing senior stakeholders across multiple organisations, countries and time zones? We are recruiting for a growing technology consultancy delivering complex Microsoft, cloud, infrastructure and cybersecurity services to major organisations in the UK and internationally.

They are looking for a Senior Technical Project Manager to lead an important global Microsoft 365 transformation programme. The project will involve consolidating multiple Microsoft 365 tenants, companies, user structures, applications and document management environments into one secure and scalable platform. This is a technically complex programme with multiple interconnected work streams. Identity, devices, applications, data, security and document access will all need to be carefully sequenced to ensure changes made in one area do not create problems elsewhere.

You will act as the central point of contact, coordinating senior client stakeholders, architects, consultants, engineers and other subject matter experts. This is not a hands-on engineering role, but you will need enough technical understanding to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions and identify risks or dependencies that individual specialists may overlook.

Maintain programme plans, RAID logs, dependency tracking and senior-level reporting.

Identify risks, delays and resource constraints early and take corrective action. Challenge assumptions and ensure the wider impact of technical decisions is understood. Lead steering groups, programme meetings, workshops and executive updates. Translate complex technical information into clear business language. Align stakeholders across different companies, priorities and ways of working. Negotiate scope, priorities, resources and delivery dates. Challenge unrealistic expectations in a constructive and commercially aware way.

Maintain control of scope, budgets, resources and change requests. Hold internal and external teams accountable for agreed actions and milestones. Ensure the completed programme is successfully transitioned into support or managed services. Essential Experience To be considered, you will need:
