Job Description:

• text: Large UK health/public sector client
• Project: Transforming the client’s observability/monitoring platform – migrating from a legacy monitoring solution to a modern observability platform (e.g. Dynatrace) across the estate.
• Team Model: Multidisciplinary, hybrid-delivery team with a delivery lead and technical SMEs/estimators supporting the PM.

• Public sector experience – ideally UK government / health & public sector.
• Complex transformation delivery:
  • Comfort operating in complex, multi-system environments.
  • Experience managing technical transformation and modernisation work (e.g. retiring legacy stacks, upgrading Java/Spring Boot, large-scale tech refresh).
• Exposure to DevOps environments:
  • Doesn’t have to be hands-on engineer, but should understand DevOps-focused delivery, tooling, and ways of working.
• Strong project management track record:
  • Planning and running delivery for complex technical programmes.
  • Coordinating multidisciplinary teams and managing stakeholders.
  • Working closely with a delivery lead and technical SMEs rather than being the sole lead.
• Baseline: BPSS is acceptable, especially for non-production work.
• Preferred: SC clearance (or at least SC-eligible) is strongly preferred, particularly as the PM’s remit and exposure grow. Client will prioritise candidates with existing SC if possible.

• Comfortable operating in a hybrid model:
  • Agile ways of working (scrum/kanban, ceremonies) “as agile as possible”.
  • But also able to handle T&M / SoW constraints and bring Agile + commercial/contractual realities together.
• Able to work within consulting-style expectations:
  • “T-shaped consultant” mindset – some flexibility to stretch across activities and adapt to different demands within the account.

• Primary location: Newcastle (core team is Newcastle-based).
• Secondary location: Birmingham (some core team members there; they travel to Newcastle roughly every three weeks
