We're seeking an experienced contract Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of a Role Based Access Control (RBAC) project, leveraging Identity and Access Management (IDAM) to provision system access based on user roles rather than individual, job-by-job access requests. This is an IDAM-focused engagement, distinct from Privileged Access Management (PAM) work.

The successful candidate will report into the PM Practice Lead while delivering directly on a program of work led by the Program Manager

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end delivery of the RBAC/IDAM project, from planning through implementation
• Manage project scope, schedule, budget, risks and stakeholder engagement
• Work closely with cyber security, identity management, and business teams to define role-based access models
• Report project status and risks to the PM Practice Lead
• Partner the program team to align delivery with broader program goals
• Manage vendor/technology partners where relevant (e.g. IDAM platform providers)

About You

• Proven experience delivering cyber security, identity, or access management projects
• Strong understanding of IDAM concepts (RBAC, access provisioning, identity lifecycle); PAM experience alone is not sufficient
• Senior-level stakeholder management experience, comfortable reporting to multiple lines (practice lead + program owner)
• Formal PM certification highly regarded (PMP, PRINCE2, or similar)
• Experience in energy/utilities sector highly regarded (not essential)
