Project Manager

The Security Project Manager is responsible for the controlled delivery of security-related initiatives, projects, and workstreams across Flutter CEE within the CIO delivery governance model. The role ensures security initiatives are delivered with clear scope, ownership, milestones, risks, dependencies, stakeholder alignment, governance cadence, and transparent reporting.

This position provides hands-on project management discipline while ensuring that security outcomes are coordinated with technology, operations, architecture, product engineering, business, and leadership stakeholders. The Security Project Manager works under the Head of Delivery and partners closely with IS Security, Technology Service & Operations, Architecture, AI & Innovation, Performance Intelligence, and CTO delivery teams to ensure security delivery is treated as managed CIO delivery work, not only as a dependency or consultation activity.

• Own day-to-day project management for assigned security initiatives, ensuring delivery is structured, transparent, and aligned to agreed CIO priorities.
• Create and maintain project plans, milestones, workstream plans, action logs, RAID, dependency maps, status reports, and closure artefacts.
• Ensure each initiative has clear scope, sponsor, delivery owner, accountable stakeholders, delivery approach, acceptance criteria, expected outcomes, and reporting cadence.
• Apply appropriate delivery methods based on initiative size, risk, complexity, and delivery model, including agile, waterfall, or hybrid approaches.
• Challenge unclear scope, weak ownership, unrealistic timelines, missing dependencies, and unmanaged risks in a constructive and professional way.
• Ensure security initiatives and security workstreams follow agreed CIO delivery governance, PMO standards, reporting requirements, and escalation routes.
• Track security milestones, control readiness, implementation dependencies, decision points, and evidence requirements through the project lifecycle.
• Ensure delivery governance is practical, decision-focused, and proportionate to project risk, complexity, and business impact.
• Maintain clear records of key decisions, approvals, exceptions, assumptions, dependencies, and delivery commitments.
• Own stakeholder coordination for assigned security projects across IS Security, Technology Service & Operations, Architecture, CTO Product Engineering, AI Innovation Hub, Performance Intelligence, business teams, vendors, and leadership stakeholders.
• Maintain stakeholder maps, communication plans, meeting cadence, decision forums, and escalation paths for assigned initiatives.
• Provide clear, timely, and audience-appropriate communication on progress, risks, issues, dependencies, decisions required, and delivery confidence.
• Manage expectations proactively where scope, timing, resources, dependencies, or priority sequencing changes.
• Identify, document, and actively manage risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies across assigned security initiatives.
• Ensure risks and blockers are assigned to clear owners, reviewed regularly, and escalated before they materially affect delivery outcomes.
• Escalate material delivery risks, unresolved blockers, ownership gaps, dependency conflicts, governance breaches, or resource constraints to the Head of Delivery with context, impact, options, and recommendation.
• Maintain an integrated view of dependencies between security, infrastructure, architecture, product engineering, operations, vendors, and business stakeholders.
• Coordinate security delivery contributions for initiatives that span CIO, CTO, and Chief Strategy Officer delivery teams.
• Where security is a contributor, ensure security commitments, deliverables, risks, decisions, dependencies, and readiness criteria are clearly planned and represented in the lead delivery plan.
• Where security or CIO is leading, manage the delivery cadence, workstream coordination, dependency control, status reporting, and escalation for assigned initiatives.
• Support formal intake by clarifying security scope, impact, complexity, stakeholder groups, dependencies, and delivery route.
• Ensure implementation readiness, operational acceptance, support handover, documentation, training needs, and post-implementation activities are planned and tracked.
• Coordinate with Technology Service & Operations, IS Security operations, vendors, and support teams to ensure delivered security capabilities are supportable and sustainable.
• Support project closure, KPI tracking, lessons learned, delivery retrospectives, and continuous improvement actions.
• Ensure residual risks, open actions, support obligations, and ownership transitions are documented before closure.
• Apply AI-first thinking to improve delivery planning, status preparation, RAID summaries, meeting outputs, action tracking, stakeholder communication, and PMO knowledge management.
• Use AI-supported delivery practices responsibly, maintaining accuracy, transparency, data protection, security expectations, and human accountability for judgement and decisions.
• Share practical improvements and lessons learned with the Head of Delivery and Delivery Forum where relevant.

• 5+ years of experience in project management, delivery management, technology delivery, security delivery, or transformation delivery roles (required).
• Experience managing technology projects involving security controls, risk reduction, compliance readiness, operational readiness, or cross-functional security workstreams (required).
• Strong understanding of project governance, delivery lifecycle management, planning, RAID, dependency management, status reporting, and escalation practices (required).
• Experience operating in matrix environments where business, technology, security, operations, product, architecture, and vendor teams contribute to shared outcomes (required).
• Strong stakeholder management, communication, facilitation, planning, and problem-solving skills (required).
• Ability to translate complex security and technical delivery topics into clear plans, risks, options, actions, and decisions required (required).
• Experience using delivery tooling such as AHA, Jira, Confluence, MS Project, Smartsheet, or equivalent (required).
• Ability to challenge unclear scope, weak ownership, unmanaged risks, and poor delivery discipline constructively (required).
• Experience in gaming, betting, fintech, digital platforms, regulated technology, or multi-market environments (preferred).
• Experience delivering security-related initiatives across infrastructure, cloud, workplace technology, platform engineering, identity, monitoring, vulnerability, data, AI, or operational readiness areas (preferred).
• Experience supporting audit readiness, control implementation, evidence coordination, or regulated technology delivery (preferred).
• Experience managing delivery with internal teams, vendors, shared services, and cross-regional dependencies (preferred).
