Technical Project Manager

About The Role

As our IT Technical Project Manager
, you’ll take ownership of the end-to-end delivery of complex technology projects across IT Desktop, Networking and Business Systems.

Working with business sponsors, system owners, technical specialists and third-party suppliers, you’ll translate approved business requirements and technical solutions into clear, controlled delivery plans. You’ll lead projects from initiation and planning through testing, implementation, hypercare, closure and successful handover into business-as-usual support.

You’ll manage project governance, budgets, forecasts, risks, dependencies and change control, while ensuring stakeholders have clear and transparent visibility of progress. You’ll also oversee suppliers, testing, implementation and operational readiness, making sure projects are delivered safely, securely, on time and within budget.

This is a highly collaborative role where you’ll lead cross-functional and multi-supplier teams, constructively challenge technical plans and assumptions, and ensure new or changed technology services are ready to operate effectively from day one.

We’re looking for an experienced Technical Project Manager with a strong track record of successfully delivering complex technology projects with significant operational, financial or client impact.

You’ll bring experience across areas such as end-user computing, infrastructure, networks, cloud services, cybersecurity, business applications, systems integration or data migration, together with the technical confidence to challenge architects, engineers, application specialists and suppliers when needed.

You’ll be comfortable managing the full project lifecycle, including planning, governance, budgets, risks, testing, deployment, hypercare and operational handover. Commercially aware and highly organised, you’ll also have experience managing third-party suppliers, contractual deliverables and competing priorities.

Strong stakeholder management is essential. You’ll be confident engaging and influencing at all levels, including having robust conversations with senior leaders, clients and third parties. You’ll be analytical, resilient and proactive, with excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to manage multiple complex priorities.

Experience of recognised delivery approaches such as PRINCE2, Agile or Kanban is expected, while relevant professional qualifications such as Risk Management or Six Sigma would be advantageous. Above all, you’ll share Atlas’ purpose and values and bring a practical, accountable approach to delivering change.
