Sporty Group - Technical Project Manager

• 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. • Jira, Task Governance & Analytics • Maintain visibility of IT/IS work distributed across multiple Jira systems, projects, teams, and workflows. • Establish consolidated reporting across different Jira environments and maintain appropriate data quality and traceability. • Monitor backlog, aging, remediation progress, overdue work, throughput, and other relevant delivery metrics. • Analyse historical and current data to identify trends, bottlenecks, recurring issues, and deteriorating performance. • Automate data collection, aggregation, and reporting where practical. • The objective is not simply to maintain dashboards, but to turn fragmented task data into actionable management information. • Cross-Team Coordination & Governance • Act as a coordination point across Information Security, IT, Engineering, Infrastructure, Platform/DevOps, system owners, business functions, and management. • Maintain clear visibility of risks, issues, dependencies, decisions, and commitments. • Resolve unclear ownership and facilitate prioritisation where teams have competing priorities. • Provide concise management reporting focused on progress, trends, risks, exceptions, and decisions required. • Establish appropriate project and task governance without introducing unnecessary process.
