Senior Project Manager

I support the delivery of a major Digital, Data and Technology transformation programme for South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, working with Enable to Innovate Ltd, Socitm, and a team of independent consultants and specialists. The programme spans Finance, HR, Procurement, and Payroll workstreams, with people and organisational change central to delivery.

I contribute to programme planning, resource allocation, risk management, stakeholder coordination, and consolidated reporting on progress, risk, and spend. I produce future-state process designs, readiness assessments, and decision logs, facilitate cross-functional workshops, and help translate strategic objectives into structured, financially controlled delivery plans.

I contributed to AI-driven transformation initiatives as a freelance Project Manager. I managed delivery quality and applied project management expertise to support model development workflows.

I helped maintain structured delivery practices across transformation activity, using planning, coordination, and quality-focused project management methods.

I undertook short-term transitional logistics engagements while maintaining operational grounding in resource forecasting, scheduling, and adaptive planning.

These roles strengthened my ability to operate flexibly in changing environments while supporting practical operational delivery requirements.

I took a planned career break focused on personal growth, international travel, and advanced cybersecurity training.

During this period, I completed training to strengthen my technical delivery expertise and support future technology and security-focused project work.

I managed end-to-end delivery of a secure cloud migration to Exchange Online and Azure, overseeing a complex multi-workstream programme with substantial governance and budgetary requirements. I owned programme budgets and business case development, managed vendors and change control, and reported financial performance to senior stakeholders.

I led migration of a 3,000-user email environment to Exchange Online, including API connector mapping for critical third-party applications, with no downtime or data loss. I also directed migration from Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams for more than 3,000 users, achieving 98% adoption within three months and reducing operational costs by 15% through legacy infrastructure decommissioning.

I was a client-facing project lead for a high-priority technology programme in regulated financial services, coordinating technical teams, product managers, and senior stakeholders.

I delivered a Cisco ACI network fabric upgrade across eight data centres for a banking client, improving network performance by 30% while maintaining PCI-DSS and ISO 27001 compliance. I introduced a risk framework that reduced potential security incidents by 40% and completed the six-month upgrade with zero critical downtime.

I directed a digital transformation portfolio involving multi-site SaaS and Azure deployments, including governance, budget management, and capability development. I led cross-functional project teams and supported staff adoption of new technologies and processes.

I delivered a school reporting platform from pilot to full-scale launch for more than 100 administrators and educators, incorporating role-based access controls to protect student data. I also led a server estate upgrade to Windows Server 2016, improving responsiveness by 15%, and coached teams in Agile and hybrid delivery practices.

I managed delivery of a £20 million Wi-Fi and tablet transformation programme across 308 sites nationwide. The programme deployed enterprise Wi-Fi and 1,200 rugged tablets to digitise clinical and operational workflows.

I delivered the programme £500,000 under budget through vendor negotiations, achieved 99.9% uptime, and reduced paperwork by 30%. I implemented WPA3 encryption and mobile device management for GDPR-compliant data handling, while managing and developing an internal IT team.

I supported GDPR compliance and information governance activities, including compliance reporting and data quality checks.

I also managed recruitment campaign logistics and led a smart card rollout and compliance audit across clinical and non-clinical departments.
