The Security Project Manager is responsible for the controlled delivery of security-related initiatives, projects and workstreams across Flutter CEE within the CIO delivery governance model.

The role ensures security initiatives are delivered with clear scope, ownership, milestones, risks, dependencies, stakeholder alignment, governance cadence and transparent reporting. It provides hands-on project management discipline while ensuring that security outcomes are coordinated with technology, operations, architecture, product engineering, business and leadership stakeholders.

The Security Project Manager works under the Head of Delivery and partners closely with IS Security, Technology Service & Operations, Architecture, AI & Innovation, Performance Intelligence, CTO delivery teams and business stakeholders. The role ensures security delivery is treated as managed CIO delivery work, not only as a dependency or consultation activity.

The role is accountable for project execution control for assigned security initiatives. It is not accountable for final security policy ownership, security risk acceptance, architecture standards, budget governance or technical implementation ownership; those areas remain with the relevant accountable functions.

Material delivery risks, unresolved dependencies, scope conflicts, governance exceptions, resource gaps or delivery blockers are escalated to the Head of Delivery as the first formal escalation path.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Security Project Delivery & Execution

Own day-to-day project management for assigned security initiatives, ensuring delivery is structured, transparent and aligned to agreed CIO priorities.

Create and maintain project plans, milestones, workstream plans, action logs, RAID, dependency maps, status reports and closure artefacts.

Ensure each initiative has clear scope, sponsor, delivery owner, accountable stakeholders, delivery approach, acceptance criteria, expected outcomes and reporting cadence.

Apply appropriate delivery methods based on initiative size, risk, complexity and delivery model, including agile, waterfall or hybrid approaches.

Challenge unclear scope, weak ownership, unrealistic timelines, missing dependencies and unmanaged risks in a constructive and professional way.

Security Workstream Governance

Ensure security initiatives and security workstreams follow agreed CIO delivery governance, PMO standards, reporting requirements and escalation routes.

Track security milestones, control readiness, implementation dependencies, decision points and evidence requirements through the project lifecycle.

Ensure delivery governance is practical, decision-focused and proportionate to project risk, complexity and business impact.

Maintain clear records of key decisions, approvals, exceptions, assumptions, dependencies and delivery commitments.

Stakeholder Management & Communication

Own stakeholder coordination for assigned security projects across IS Security, Technology Service & Operations, Architecture, CTO Product Engineering, AI Innovation Hub, Performance Intelligence, business teams, vendors and leadership stakeholders.

Maintain stakeholder maps, communication plans, meeting cadence, decision forums and escalation paths for assigned initiatives.

Provide clear, timely and audience-appropriate communication on progress, risks, issues, dependencies, decisions required and delivery confidence.

Manage expectations proactively where scope, timing, resources, dependencies or priority sequencing changes.

RAID, Dependency & Escalation Management

Identify, document and actively manage risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies across assigned security initiatives.

Ensure risks and blockers are assigned to clear owners, reviewed regularly and escalated before they materially affect delivery outcomes.

Escalate material delivery risks, unresolved blockers, ownership gaps, dependency conflicts, governance breaches or resource constraints to the Head of Delivery with context, impact, options and recommendation.

Maintain an integrated view of dependencies between security, infrastructure, architecture, product engineering, operations, vendors and business stakeholders.

Cross-Delivery Coordination

Coordinate security delivery contributions for initiatives that span CIO, CTO and Chief Strategy Officer delivery teams.

Where security is a contributor, ensure security commitments, deliverables, risks, decisions, dependencies and readiness criteria are clearly planned and represented in the lead delivery plan.

Where security or CIO is leading, manage the delivery cadence, workstream coordination, dependency control, status reporting and escalation for assigned initiatives.

Support formal intake by clarifying security scope, impact, complexity, stakeholder groups, dependencies and delivery route.

Operational Readiness, Transition & Closure

Ensure implementation readiness, operational acceptance, support handover, documentation, training needs and post-implementation activities are planned and tracked.

Coordinate with Technology Service & Operations, IS Security operations, vendors and support teams to ensure delivered security capabilities are supportable and sustainable.

Support project closure, KPI tracking, lessons learned, delivery retrospectives and continuous improvement actions.

Ensure residual risks, open actions, support obligations and ownership transitions are documented before closure.

AI-First Delivery Operations

Apply AI-first thinking to improve delivery planning, status preparation, RAID summaries, meeting outputs, action tracking, stakeholder communication and PMO knowledge management.

Use AI-supported delivery practices responsibly, maintaining accuracy, transparency, data protection, security expectations and human accountability for judgement and decisions.

Share practical improvements and lessons learned with the Head of Delivery and Delivery Forum where relevant.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE

5+ years of experience in project management, delivery management, technology delivery, security delivery or transformation delivery roles.

Experience managing technology projects involving security controls, risk reduction, compliance readiness, operational readiness or cross-functional security workstreams.

Strong understanding of project governance, delivery lifecycle management, planning, RAID, dependency management, status reporting and escalation practices.

Experience operating in matrix environments where business, technology, security, operations, product, architecture and vendor teams contribute to shared outcomes.

Strong stakeholder management, communication, facilitation, planning and problem-solving skills.

Ability to translate complex security and technical delivery topics into clear plans, risks, options, actions and decisions required.

Experience using delivery tooling such as AHA, Jira, Confluence, MS Project, Smartsheet or equivalent.

Ability to challenge unclear scope, weak ownership, unmanaged risks and poor delivery discipline constructively.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

experience in gaming, betting, fintech, digital platforms, regulated technology or multi-market environments.

Experience delivering security-related initiatives across infrastructure, cloud, workplace technology, platform engineering, identity, monitoring, vulnerability, data, AI or operational readiness areas.

Experience supporting audit readiness, control implementation, evidence coordination or regulated technology delivery.

Experience managing delivery with internal teams, vendors, shared services and cross-regional dependencies.

Experience supporting formal intake models, Lean Canvas, portfolio prioritisation and initiative qualification processes.

Experience using AI-first thinking to improve delivery operations, reporting, governance, communication, knowledge management or process efficiency.
