About the company and the work

iOCO is a technology and consulting company delivering cloud, infrastructure and professional services projects for customers. The Project Manager is responsible for planning, coordinating and delivering cloud projects within agreed scope, timelines, budget and quality standards. The role provides end-to-end project leadership, manages risk and dependencies, coordinates cross-functional teams and vendors, and maintains clear communication with customers and business stakeholders, supporting successful implementation, customer satisfaction, sound governance and the achievement of commercial and operational outcomes.

Role details and duties

The advert groups the key responsibilities as follows:

• Project governance and planning: defining project scope, objectives, deliverables, timelines, milestones and acceptance criteria with relevant stakeholders; developing and maintaining project plans, governance structures, schedules, RAID logs, decision logs and status reports; ensuring project documentation, approvals, controls and governance requirements remain current; and managing projects in line with the agreed delivery methodology, contractual obligations and company standards.
• Project delivery: leading project execution from initiation through implementation, transition, closure and post-project review; coordinating technical, professional services, commercial, operational, vendor and customer resources; monitoring progress against the agreed baseline and taking corrective action where delivery deviates; and managing interdependencies across workstreams so that deliverables are completed, validated and handed over.
• Stakeholder management: acting as the primary project contact and maintaining effective relationships with customers, sponsors and other stakeholders; facilitating project meetings, steering committees, workshops and progress reviews, with decisions documented; and providing clear, accurate and timely reporting on progress, risks, issues, dependencies, decisions and financials.
• Risk and change management: identifying, assessing, managing and escalating project risks, issues, assumptions, constraints and dependencies; controlling scope and change requests by assessing delivery, commercial, resource and timeline impact; and driving timely resolution of blockers so that agreed mitigation and recovery actions are implemented.
• Financial management: managing project budgets, forecasts, costs, billing milestones, resource utilisation and overall profitability; monitoring delivery against contractual commitments, statements of work, purchase orders and approved budgets; and identifying commercial risks and supporting corrective actions to protect revenue, margin and customer satisfaction.
• Resource management: planning and coordinating project resources, responsibilities, capacity and availability across internal teams; creating accountability for deliverables and promoting collaboration, disciplined execution and effective delivery; and supporting team performance through clear direction, regular follow-up, constructive feedback and escalation.
• Quality and compliance: ensuring deliverables meet agreed quality, security, compliance, architecture and customer acceptance criteria; maintaining audit-ready project records and supporting governance, quality, risk and compliance reviews; and capturing lessons learned and applying practical improvements to future cloud project delivery.

The advert states no separate experience level label, so none is shown in the job details for this post. Note that, although the title is Intermediate, the advert asks for 5 to 8 years of experience, as set out below.

Requirements

Only the requirements stated in the original advert are listed here. Minimum qualifications: a bachelor’s degree or diploma in Project Management, Information Technology, Business Management, Engineering or a related field (the field list was cut off in the detail view, so confirm it in the original advert); a recognised project management certification, such as PMP, PRINCE2, AgilePM or an equivalent, would be advantageous; and cloud platform certification, Scrum or Agile certification, and commercial or service management training would also be advantageous.

Experience required: 5 to 8 years of experience in project management, technology delivery, professional services or a related field; experience in managing one or more of AWS cloud migrations, AI development and infrastructure work (the list was cut off in the detail view); proven experience managing technology or cloud projects from initiation through implementation and closure; experience managing scope, schedules, budgets, resources, risks, issues, dependencies and change control; experience working with cross-functional technical, commercial, operational, vendor and customer teams; experience preparing and presenting project plans, governance packs, dashboards and financial reports; working knowledge of project delivery methodologies, governance practices, contracting and quality standards; and strong stakeholder management, communication, facilitation, negotiation and problem-solving capabilities.

Where to find and apply safely

Apply through the original Careers24 advert using the Apply button on this page, which links directly to the iOCO vacancy. Do not pay anyone who promises to secure this job for you, and do not share your identity document, bank details or passwords with anyone claiming to fast-track your application.

Practical tips

Project management applications are strongest when they show delivery, not just duties, so describe cloud projects you have led from initiation to closure, the budgets and timelines you managed, and how you handled risks, dependencies and change requests. Be specific about the environments you have worked in, such as AWS cloud migrations or AI development work, and about the governance packs, dashboards and financial reports you have produced. Because the role is the primary project contact, give examples of how you have kept customers, sponsors and vendors aligned when delivery deviated from the baseline.

How the process works

Applications are submitted through the original Careers24 advert before the closing date of December 29, 2026. Shortlisted applicants can expect the usual screening and interview steps for a project management role, including a discussion of recent projects, delivery approach and stakeholder management.
