About the role
Sporty is looking for an experienced IT/IS Project Manager to coordinate and drive Information Technology (IT) and Information Security (IS) initiatives across our global organisation.
The role works across IT, Information Security, Engineering, Infrastructure, Platform/DevOps, and business teams to ensure projects and operational initiatives have clear ownership, priorities, timelines, and measurable outcomes.
A significant part of the role focuses on Information Security delivery, including vulnerability remediation, Red Team and Blue Team activities, and security improvement initiatives.
Work is distributed across multiple teams and Jira environments. You will be responsible for maintaining consolidated visibility, identifying delivery risks and trends, and ensuring important work is driven through to completion.
This is a hands-on delivery role. We are looking for someone who takes ownership, creates structure, proactively identifies problems, and drives actions rather than simply tracking and reporting status.
What you'll be doing
IT Project & Initiative Management
- Lead internal IT initiatives from requirements and planning through implementation, rollout, and operational handover.
- Define scope, milestones, ownership, dependencies, and success criteria.
- Coordinate delivery across IT, Engineering, Infrastructure, Security, and business teams.
- Proactively manage risks, blockers, priorities, and cross-team dependencies.
- Drive decisions and ensure projects progress through to completion.
Projects may cover areas such as IAM/SSO, Google Workspace, Slack, GitHub, enterprise SaaS, endpoint technology, AWS/cloud services, corporate connectivity, internal systems, and IT automation.
Information Security Delivery Management
- Coordinate security-related initiatives and tasks across Information Security, Engineering, Infrastructure, Platform, Red Team, and Blue Team.
- Track vulnerability findings and remediation activities through to validation and closure.
- Coordinate follow-up actions from penetration testing, Red Team/Blue Team activities, security reviews, incidents, and security improvement programmes.
- Ensure security tasks have appropriate priority, ownership, target dates, and remediation plans.
- Identify stalled or high-risk items and drive follow-up, prioritisation, and escalation where necessary.
The role does not perform security testing or vulnerability analysis directly, but should understand security concepts sufficiently to manage the delivery process effectively.
