Job description
An exciting opportunity for an experienced Cloud Migration Project Manager to lead the digital infrastructure transformation for a well-known global brand in the quick-service and consumer tech space. You will be responsible for delivering a high-profile programme to transition on-premise systems and applications into Microsoft Azure, working across digital, infrastructure, and business functions. This role is outside IR35.
This role will play a key part in shaping the future of a major consumer-facing organisation's digital estate.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the full project lifecycle of a cloud migration programme - from discovery and planning through to delivery and stabilisation.
Migrate core infrastructure and digital platforms from legacy on-premise environments to Azure.
Manage internal and external delivery teams, ensuring timelines, budgets, and quality benchmarks are met.
Develop a clear roadmap and delivery plan aligned to wider business objectives.
Maintain effective stakeholder engagement across technical, operational, and leadership teams.
Identify and mitigate risks, dependencies, and potential service disruptions.
Promote DevOps principles and modern delivery methods throughout the programme.
Ensure compliance with governance, security, and regulatory standards.
Skills & Experience Required
Demonstrable experience in managing large-scale cloud migration projects (Azure experience is essential).
Strong background in digital transformation within complex, high-volume consumer or retail environments.
Solid understanding of cloud-native architecture, infrastructure-as-code, containerisation (e.g., Kubernetes), and modern delivery pipelines.
Experience working within hybrid environments and managing legacy estate migration.
Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and vendor coordination skills.
Familiarity with Agile delivery methodologies and structured project governance.
Relevant certifications (e.g., Prince2, PMP, Scrum Master, Azure certifications) desirable.
Desirable Experience
Exposure to digital ordering platforms, point-of-sale systems, or real-time transaction systems.
Experience delivering change in operational environments requiring high availability and resilience.
Familiarity with service transition frameworks (e.g., ITIL) and operational readiness planning.
